The hosts were very friendly!!! I also read a lot of reviews about the bathrooms not being clean but they were actually very nice! The showers were amazing…although my daughter in law said that her water didn’t get very hot, she said it was warm but definitely not hot. We were in Camping Area B & were very pleased with that location, we even took a walk to the park in Camping Area A & enjoyed that! Very well pleased with everything while we camped! Highly recommend!!

We had a very nice campsite with a great view of the lake, quiet area with good fishing in walking distance. No issues with electricity, water hookups would be nice but not that big of a deal. All around good experience, we do plan to return

We were in the F section. Very clean and a beautiful view of the lake.

The campground is very good. However, if launching a boat the ramp is covered with slick moss. I slipped like on ice and hurt my upper arm/shoulder. If the ramp is not cleaned then I would suggest going to the state ramp.

This camp spot we got was close to water. We love to look out and see all of the boaters. Campsite was clean and camp hosts are great and very friendly. I myself if I have to choose I love Bridgeview the most. Would be nice if you had a few spots of non reservable. Worth going to we love it there. Only bad thing is we won't put our boat in there due to the current but still don't have far to go to do this either.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bridgeview Campground at Rathbun Lake! Our campsite was fantastic — the pad was very large, and we had a beautiful view that made it easy to relax and enjoy our time there. It was a great spot to unwind and take in the scenery.

Our camp host was fantastic as well! They checked on us several times during our stay to make sure everything was going well. That extra personal touch really stood out and made us feel welcome.

The only thing we felt could use a little updating is the shower house, but that certainly didn’t take away from our overall experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bridgeview and would absolutely come back. Beautiful campground, great site, wonderful views, and a fantastic camp host. We highly recommend it!

The signage was a little confusing. We had difficulties finding Loop F. We searched out the host and hostess. They were of great help and lead us to our site. They were great.
