Riverside East

The host we very nice and helpful. The place was clea. And so was the showers. Was nice and quiet with the exception of the weekend d and that is normal. Would love to stay here again. Had good internet with my Tmobile and good service on my Verizon phone.

Site we reserved was an extreme slope and could not level the camper. Campground map also showed it on the other side of the road ( wanted to be next to river). Luckily we were able to switch to a neighboring site that was not occupied.

Camping area was clean and trees trimmed up. The picnic areas were clean and in good working condition. It made for a very relaxing experience. Thank you.

Nice quiet site along the Neosho River.

We stopped here for a night while driving across the country and it was one of our favorite sites! Right next to the river of a Dam and close to a nuclear power plant it was a cool site to see engineeeing marvels.
Pros:
- The site was level and the picnic table was clean and well taken care of.
- The water spout had some of the best water we had on our trip! At first the water came out brown and dirty but after rubbing it for a couple seconds it was clear and amazing.
- Site 25 has access to its own private beach which we could look at the dam during sunset and sunrise.
- We didn’t use the fire pit but it looked nice, plenty of kindling to collect as well!

Cons:
- The river didn’t seem clean enough for swimming as the nearby dam must move around the dirt form the bottom making it murky.
- Due to the light posts around the campground and the lights on the street over the Dam there was a bit too much light pollution to see all the stars we expected to, but there we’re still a lot!

Wow, I don't know if it was because it was early in the season or because it was Easter Sunday, but we had the entire campground to ourselves Sunday night. What a beautiful spot, right on the Neosho river. We saw pelicans diving for fish and found mussel shells near the water. I love that each campsite has a covered shelter area. Made it nice to get out of the sun (and the brief morning rain!). Pit toilets and shower house were clean and stocked (although you have to bring your own soap). A little bit of highway noise, but not too bad. Lots of animal sounds to make up for it! Would definitely camp there again, although since it's right on the river, I'll likely keep it to shoulder seasons of spring and fall to avoid ticks and mosquitos. Did find a couple of ticks crawling on us and a few attached to our dog, but overall, no worse than expected. I only wish check-in time was earlier in the day. 6pm is pretty late to get started, and we had to head back by noon the next day. I think a 2pm or 3pm check-in time would be much better, giving more time to set up and enjoy the evening rather than rush to set up before dark.

Site 5 was OK. Like the pavilion cover over picnic table. Easy site to back into. View of river below dam. Lots of Birds to watch on both water and land.

We liked the privacy of our camp site, HOBO 27. The nature trail was nice. We are close to Coffey County Fishing Lake too, fo those who like to fish.

Very clean facilities, friendly environment and adequate spacing between campsites. One of my favorite campgrounds.
