Site 42 is a great site at the very end of a long row of campsites. It is a very large site (looks like it used to be part of a buddy-site that has been re-made into one site). Nice view of the river.
Because of location, the back-in is straight and super simple.
Biggest downside of this specific site was the placement of the power and water on the wrong side of the rig. We used our extension and went under our rig to hook-up to the electricity. As we were only over-nighting, we didn't bother to drag the water hose underneath to hook up. Probably wouldn't work with a fifth-wheel or bumper pull, but someone in a Class A, B, or C might be able to PULL into the site to get hook-ups on the right side of the rig. The site is certainly long enough to do so.
Campground layout is a little strange.

Our site was clean, spacious, and quiet. Had a nice view of the river as well. Loved the drive getting to the site once we were in the park. So looking forward to our next stay!

Very nice campground with plenty of space between campsites is what we like about Riverside East. The Vault style restroom facilities are cleaned every other day and were very nice.

We originally attempted site 26, which on the map looked like site 25. Site 26 is not on the water, but placed tight across from 25 and a little steep. We tried out 27, the first in a row next to the woods. It turned out to be a great campsite.

We stayed in April. Sites have a covered picnic table, fire ring and hookups. We were along the river which was nice hearing it flow. There was one fishing boat going up and down making it a little distracting. It seems it is a popular fishing spot. Overall, the campground is well kept the vault toilet was clean(so I was told).

Only issue we had is the amount of poison ivy growing in the driveways. I booked 31, 32, and 33. 32 was the main one with the issue. Still had a great time and the park ranger and camp hosts were super nice.
