What Guests Are Saying
Riverside East is a beautiful and peaceful campground with clean sites and ample space between them, making it ideal for families and recreational activities. While the bathrooms are outdated and occasionally not well-maintained, the overall atmosphere is quiet and secluded, with easy access to the river. Some campers reported issues with access and certain amenities, but many enjoyed their stay and appreciated the natural surroundings.

My wife and I visit the park 4 weeks a year and totally enjoy it. The spots are large and well kept. The wildlife is everywhere if you look for it. The Bathhouse last season was very well kept so clean. I only wish that the main road to the other camping site was paved at least where the campsites are to cut down on the dust, but really that is nitpicking.

Nice quiet park with lots of room between sites. There are only a few 50amp hookups though. You need to be sure you fill your freshwater holding tank when you park even though you have water hookup at the site. Many times throughout the day and evening the pressure will be down as low as 20# and you will need to use your onboard pump for pressure. This entire park is fed through a 1” water meter so you can imagine what happens if more than one person tuns the water on.

Very nice campsites, restrooms were cleaned every other day and the campsites are spaced out enough that you do not have the crowded feeling that I have had in some other camping areas. Very relaxing and comfortable experience.

We were first time visitors and enjoyed Riverside East. Rode our bikes through Riverside West, and found it even more beautiful with a heavy tree canopy, but it was closed.

Excellent place to camp with the family. Quiet. Clean. Peaceful. Park ranger is out patrolling often which is nice. The bathrooms where cleanish with the showers producing warm enough water to have a decent shower on a 50 degree night. Clean trails to walk. Will be booking again.

My wife and go to Riverside East every chance we get. The park is quiet and the employees are very responsive to any issues that come up. When we arrived at our spot the 30 amp breaker was broken. Tyler from the office called and informed us that they would take care of it and they did the very next morning. The Park Range is so helpful and knowlegable, he is always driving around and making sure everything is good to go. The Pit Toilets and Shower house are very clean and stocked. We always enjoy our visits and will be back in October.
