Very well maintained park and excellent location. We stayed in a river front pull through spot that was quite large in a 38 foot motor home. Will definitely return!

We loved our spot. Away from all the sardines by water. Quiet and enjoyable

We love this park as it is low-key, near water, and a rails-to-trails bike path which we used both days we were there. Our chosen camp spot was very sloped and we couldn't level our rig, so the host moved us to a spot that did work. They were very helpful.

Spacious, well kept campground close to Cottage Grove. Some sites in the center are paved, others are gravel. The Row river passes close to the northern sites. Enjoyed our stay.

This is our second year camping here, the first time was amazing. we didn’t know what to expect since we never camped as a family ( with small kiddos) before but the first stay was awesome!!! The hosts were extremely friendly and caring. This second time around we camped for my youngest child’s birthday and it was amazing. We drive 4 hours but the drive is absolutely worth it! The park is beautiful, I love how close the river is and there’s a few spots to walk down and relax. One of The host brought us wood one early morning and it was enough for our whole stay which was about 5 days. The restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. We had a late fire without any complaints and the kiddos played aIl around, our dog was welcomed also. Overall I love love this place. We felt at home when we stayed here. definitely plan to come back soon! If you’re thinking about camping here don’t think about it just do it! This is an amazing family/animal welcoming camp :)

First time staying here and we loved it. Will definitely be back. Good nature trails, and so close to the reservoir which was also so much fun. It was a great place to have your kids play and ride their bikes. Clean facilities and the staff/ volunteers were great and helpful. The down side was the one group that ran their generator from 7am-10pm I get it but would have been nice to just here nature for a little. Then they ran a white noise machine all night. But definitely would recommend this place for your families and friends.
