Overall the campgrounds were clean, there were fun things to do with the kids without leaving the campgrounds, and it provided free wifi. This was our first stay at a resort campgrounds which we came away with both pro's and cons on the experience.

Our first trip!

Our first camping trip was at New River State Park. It was December so it was pretty cold. The water spigot broke but was fixed pretty quickly. We had a great time.

Jones Lake 2021-12-17

Small campgrounds, fishing pier, canoe rental, and quiet. Overall I'd say this is a good campground for a short stay especially if you are just boon docking.
