Loved the location near the river, great access to hiking & biking as well. Enjoyed how it was connected to the river center area via a walking trail.

I don’t understand why the campsite was a modest $15 (group tent site) but then an additional 8$ to make an online reservation.

Our campsite flooded! Nothing like pitching a tent in 2 inches of rainwater. Site #15 in the rain is bad, drainage system definitely needs improvement. Fortunately we were able to evacuate to our friend’s site at #18 as it wasn’t flooding. It was unfortunate however, to pack everything up again in the rain and move our shelter.
The bath house was a highlight despite the flooding of our site. It was warm and clean, and that is such a pleasure when riding bikes and camping in the rain in January.

Thunder Rock is not fancy. One site has power. But for a quiet, isolated spot near the river, it is great! We have stayed several times, and we are from NJ.
