What Guests Are Saying
Riverside East is a beautiful and peaceful camping area with well-maintained sites, good facilities, and a great location near the river. Many campers appreciated the spaciousness and shade of their spots, as well as the clean restrooms. However, some issues were noted, including occasional power outages and cleanliness concerns in certain areas, but overall, visitors enjoyed their relaxing experiences and would return.

The site we were in was a bit claustrophobic, it was backed in the trees, giving no view of the river.tge camper blocked the view outward.

We really enjoyed our time there. The only think we noticed was people were confused on the camp location. Alot would drive around our loop not realizing they needed to turn down the gravel lane to get to the other sites along the river. Maybe if signs with arrows and numbers would really help. We plan to come back next year and maybe be volunteers!

Very light traffic area with campsites that had ample space between each site. The outlet water gates provide a background noise that provide "white noise" for sleeping if you are not too close to the dam.
The grounds were well-kept and we really liked the overhead cover for each picnic table....that was a big plus. Lots of bird activity with the running water of the Neosho River.
The campground was well monitored by the Park Rangers and the experience was very comfortable....I would recommend this site to those who are seeking a get-away from action. Take a drive to Riverside East prior to booking so you can choose a site for your needs.

always love coming here. we had campsite's 40 and 42 reserved. campsite #42 is completely missing a roof over the concrete slab/picnic table area. we chose to go with campsite's 40 and 41 instead. each of these concrete slab/picnic table roof sections were about to fail as well. extreme wood rot all around. the nearby vault toilet is fairly new. they need move the task of replacing concrete slab/picnic table area rooves up on their to-do list.

One of my favorite campgrounds, most sites have covered picnic tables, new style clean restrooms and enough distance between campsites that you don't feel crowded.

Bathroom cleaner did not clean any bathrooms Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. After the weekend they were filthy. Road down to and especially out of site 34 needed gravel. It was a slippery mess during wet weather and a dust bowl when dry. Site 34 needed gravel. Use washed gravel!!! No dust and no tracking fines into RV. One walked in water holes when getting in and out of RV. Also mud covered concrete floor of site pavilion. Pavilion drained rain water onto parking area where one had to walk. Pavilion should have drained to lawn not parking site. Corp put in electricity so you could use a hair dryer or razor but not one light so one could see after sundown Skip the outlet...put in lights.
