What Guests Are Saying
Blanding Landing is a beautiful and well-maintained campground with clean facilities and a friendly host, Ann, who is helpful and welcoming. The area offers great recreational opportunities, including access to the river and hiking trails, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. However, frequent and loud train traffic, especially at night, may disrupt sleep for some campers, so earplugs are recommended.

Amazing place. We went in October so it was fairly empty but nice huge sites. We were right next to the playground with a river view. Already made reservations to go back next summer.

Not many campers there, so nice and quiet. Very close to Galena and Chestnut Mtn. Clean bathroom. Right next to the river.

{"text"=>"This is a great isolated place to camp, if you don't mind a huge freight train roaring through every fifteen minutes. You do get used to it.\n\nIf you are tent camping make sure that you pitch your tent where the ground moisture is not gonna soak through.\n\nThe toilet facilities have to be seen to believe. They are immaculate by any standards. And certainly a lot cleaner than you would expect in such an isolated place.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
