About River Hill

Situated in a meadow surrounded by willows, campers come here to fish for trout, hunt and take in the beautiful views of the forested hills and rock bluffs.

We just returned from a stay at River Hill Campground, what a wonderful campground. Felix and Edith were the best campground hosts ever, the campground was immaculate. I have used a lot of vault toilets in my life, but these were as nice as being home; always stocked, always clean and smelling fresh and the personal touches that they put on the inside were over-the-top! The campground was quiet, tons of room between campsites and we were in spot 11 which was right on the river and beautiful. Felix was happy to share his favorite fishing spots and even gave me one of his favorite lures to use, I happened to catch a 15" Brown Trout off that one...Thanks Felix. The 9 miles of washboard road into the campground did suck, but well worth the rattle-n-roll! This campground could not have been better, it's now our favorite! Thanks Felix and Edith, you guys were awesome!

Road into the campground was HORRINDUS....VERY HORRINDUS. I damaged things on my RV just getting to the campground area. The forest service should do a better job of maintaining this road in....even if it is a gravel road. It was in a very poor condition to say the least. The campground itself was in good condition, and well covered, but getting there was very destructive. I have reservations again for River Hill in August, but I am considering canceling due to the poor condition and maintenance of the road....PATHATIC.....VERY PATAHIC...

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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
