What Guests Are Saying

River Road offers a peaceful camping experience with friendly and attentive hosts, clean facilities, and beautiful scenery by the river and dam. While the site has limited space for large tents and some minor issues like sawdust from tree removal and limited shower availability, overall, guests appreciated the well-maintained grounds and enjoyed their time in nature. The lack of cell service may be a drawback for some, but many found it refreshing and conducive to relaxation.

Bonnie and her husband were the best! It ended up storming on us so we had to leave a day early but we will definitely be back.

We love this campground but it may not be for all people. There is very little cell service if any at all for AT&T. Other carriers may be different. It’s quiet except for the steady stream of fishermen but it really seems to calm down later in the evening. Nimrod dam is amazing and our kids love to go on it and look over the high side at all of the turtles and the low side at the waves from high waters. The attendants are awesome and do not really bother you which is amazing to us introverts. The only downside is that it seems like a lot of people do not take care of the campsites as much as they should. We stayed within two weeks of each other at the same site and each time had to clean out the semi burned trash and pick up quite a bit of trash just thrown around. Overall it’s a great campground and we go as often as we can.
