A couple of fun non-park-related activities include the Auto Vue Drive-in Theater that is open seasonally only 15 minutes from the campground.
For those who enjoy wine, there is a nice organic winery just across the river named China Bend Winery. You can even use your boat and stop in and pick up a nice bottle of wine to end the perfect evening at your campsite.
