Great NFS site
I second everything SkipWatson1951 said in his review. I walked the dog thru all camp loops and it seems Hardwood loop being just a bit further up the hill provides a buffer from train and highway noise. River loop is very close to tracks. Marginal but serviceable AT&T and Verizon signals. Prices remain $20 elec and $15 non elec ( with 50% discount for old folks like myself ☺️).

Trains!
I travel on two wheels and like to camp in a tent. The facilities here are nice but long coal trains go by every 15 min or so. Because there is a crossing, they blow the horns as well. To top it off there is road construction in the area so lots of truck traffic slowing down. Wasn’t a night for sleeping

A Nice Surprise
Great NFS campground. We just showed up on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation. Plenty of sites available. Self check in. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Dump station available. Electric sites are $20/10 with Sr pass. Non-electric $15/7.50 with Sr pass. 4 free, unisex, handicap access, showers with flush toilets. Day use picnic area with pavilion, basketball hoop, volleyball net. Some mentioned the trains going by. The tracks are on the other side of the river, so the further away from the river you can get, the quieter. We were in site 12 and, though we could hear the trains about every 30 mins, they weren't annoying. I give 5 stars as I don't remember ever being in a NFS campground with all of these amenities. Weak AT&T signal, but with a booster very usable. We would come back anytime we're in the area.
