Always a great campground to stay at, big roomy sites.
We have not stayed here for a couple of years and it appears that it is not as well maintained as once was. The grounds used to have more mowing done and the walking trail along the water is in very rough shape.

We generally love this camp ground however, the recent water/drainage issues have made it less desirable. First, the new road dips/runoff areas are so low that the levelers and plumbing under our motorhome rubbed. Also, none of the run off debris has been cleaned up so many of the camping spots and coated in mud. The grass around and in the camping spots was so high our pups had to be dried off and checked for ticks after each walk.
On the up side, the camp host made rounds and the bathrooms were very clean!

We had another great trip to Riverside Campground. The facilities were clean and ready for our arrival. We look forward to our next camping and fishing trip here.

Campground is always a great spot! Well maintained, quiet, and the River setting you cant beat. Some electrical would be nice but other than that is it great! I jsut wish it stayed open longer, closing it in Sept is a waste of some beautiful camping weather...
