Small little COE with great views below the hydro/electric dam. Sites were flat and easy to access. Staff were courteous and friendly.

Very clean. Only complaint is for the camping pads covered with the tiny gravel that tracks every where

We LOVE Long Branch!!! We take our kayaks and float the river! The host, Ken, and his wife are awesome! They always are so warm and friendly! We look forward to seeing them each time we stay! We plan to come back at least twice this year! We have a camping crew of about 6 families that we usually camp with!

Our favorite place to stay on Center Hill. Excellent spots, quiet, easy access to recreation area and the river

Park is nice. Not anything to do unless you are fishing or on the water. I really wanted to like the place and have a great experience. I had hoped to add this park to my list, but the guy working the shack was such a jerk. He was the worst I have experienced in a campground ever. He was so over the top. He screamed at my daughter to the point of making her cry. He stopped me and was hollering at me as I tried to gain re-entry into the park after checking out the dam. I had my car tag displayed and everything, but he thought it necessary to holler and carry on like I was doing something wrong. I will never return to this park as long as this jerk is there. As a side note the have "rules " that are only enforced on some people while the majority of others can do as they please and nothing is said.

Clean, well maintained. Open, spacious sites, some with significant shade (along river and back of campground). Host is polite, but something of a Barney Fife. Asked to see my Senior Pass and then threatened to confiscate because I had not signed. There is not a place to sign. My name is imprinted on back. Signing with pen doesn't work, and marker would cover my name. Have been to multiple National Parks and recreation.gov campgrounds and never encountered this nonsense. I guess this host knows more than entry and campsite personnel at National Parks!
