What Guests Are Saying
Sutton Bluff Recreation Area is appreciated for its clean surroundings and excellent swimming area, with many campers enjoying the ATV trails accessible from the campground. However, there are concerns about the decline in facilities without a campground host, including dirty bathrooms, lack of supplies, and maintenance issues. Visitors are advised to navigate carefully to avoid unimproved roads and may want to book cautiously due to reports of overcrowding and site mix-ups.

My family has been camping at Sutton Bluff for over 50 years. I love the remote location and easy access to the river. Also, really enjoy having the onsite host who checks on the sites, has ice and firewood available (and ice cream!), and makes sure quiet time is observed at night.

Nice campground. Only noisely on weekends when atv's are driving around. We gave it 3 stars because they do not have a dump station.
