What Guests Are Saying

Old Post Road campground offers spacious, quiet, and shaded sites, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing retreat. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location provides easy access to nearby shops and scenic views, especially for bird watchers. However, some areas could benefit from better maintenance, particularly regarding the lawn and bathroom cleanliness.

Very well maintained with excellent volunteers. A storm came up one night and the volunteers knocked on our door to alert us that the tornado sirens were on and we might want to take shelter at the shower building. That was much appreciated! The park was quiet and we had a good view of the river. Starlink worked on our site.

Pros: Barges passing by on the river were fun to watch! Cons: Sites were smaller than expected for a COE, noise and smell from the nearby paper factory, rude neighbors kept lights on all night, and walked through our site up and down the river. There is a very busy day-use area adjacent to the park. It was nice to see so many local community members using the outdoors; however, it detracted from the peaceful camping atmosphere. The worst part of the experience is that there was a homeless couple who were allowed to move from site to site during our stay and ended up near us twice. She approached us twice, asking for our labor to help her move to their next campsite. She had a black eye and stated she was a victim of domestic violence, but had no choice because she insisted on keeping her two "service dogs" with her. Unfortunately, knowing about service dogs meant that those off-leash, constantly barking dogs were not actually trained service dogs. She also left them unattended on several occasions, and they barked nonstop. Service animals do not leave their patients and do not bark incessantly. They also took over a large log pile in the forest behind some campsites and chased other campers away. They were at that log pile after midnight with multiple vehicles and had it completely lit up. We have no idea what they were doing, but it didn't seem above board. Overall, this was the worst COE experience we've had yet. We were scheduled to stay for 14 nights and left after six nights.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
