We have camped at Long Branch several times. And we always enjoy ourselves. We had 2 campsites and celebrated my husband's 60th birthday. The host were very friendly.

We LOVE Long Branch!!! We take our kayaks and float the river! The host, Ken, and his wife are awesome! They always are so warm and friendly! We look forward to seeing them each time we stay! We plan to come back at least twice this year! We have a camping crew of about 6 families that we usually camp with!

We were on our way through on our way home and I found Long Branch on the RV Parky App. Since we have the Access Pass, it was a no-brainer to pull in for a night. It is a hidden gem. If we were to stay longer, I would bring my kayak, but it was a quiet place to stay that was very enjoyable.

One of the nicest COE we've camped....not as much privacy as some COEs but nicely spaced. The adjoining boat launch and playground would be a plus for many campers. The stream beside the campground was nice. We would definitely camp here again.

We had a wonderful four night stay at the Long Branch campground. The campsites are shaded along the river and there is adequate space for outdoor activities such as picnicking, sitting by a campfire and watching for wildlife. We had no issues with hooking up our camper, the electrical and water connections were a breeze. We stayed at campsite #18 which was by the river and it came equipped with a picnic table, fire-pit, a wooden moveable two-shelf stand, a stationary wooden table/shelf with a roof, and a six foot lantern pole with two hooks. We used the two shelf stand for meal prepping next to our Blackstone griddle, the lantern pole was used to hang up our waders to dry, and the table/shelf with the roof is good to stage things such as food or to place a table top griddle. The only negative were the ants on and in the picnic table. The tables are older and weathered with deep grooves on the top boards so the ants were hard to get rid of. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience that can be remedied with some bug spray.
If you like fishing/wading, there are steps down by site #25 to access the water and some pretty good fishing holes. My husband and I caught 6 trout in that area. You can only access these areas via the steps when they are not generating at the dam so pay close attention to the generation schedule.
The restrooms were clean and the showers were hot, no complaints there. Make sure you bring a flexible fitting/adaptor for the dump station. The one onsite is just a pipe in the ground with a hinged cover. This was our first trip in our camper and thankfully we had one that came with our Camco Rhino hose. Just something to think about if you are a newbie like us :)
I highly recommend this campground - very quiet and peaceful, spacious sites, beautiful old growth trees, easy access to the river, a fish cleaning station, clean facilities, and wildlife all around. If you can, get a site next to the river...it will not disappoint.
