Pekin Ferry RV Park & Campground

I rented a tent spot here the fourth of July 2022.
My support dog and I had a great time.
They had a fantastic fire work show! The host, Chris was very kind and accommodating. I will definitely be back.

Wow! Great experience. You’re right on the water so you can wash up there after a long day of mountain biking. Porta potties throughout, and a kids play structure I can see off in the distance. The ground is very nice. They take very good care of the grass so tent camping on that was real nice. One of the staff (Greg) came by to help me with my pop-up grill as I needed a couple tools for troubleshooting and was kinda stuck; that guy is very salt of the earth, helpful, and nice. This is family owned, and there are several long-term campers. Price is a little spendy at $45/night for a tent, but it’s close to where I needed and fairly decent amenities and privacy. At this price a warm shower would be appropriate but I’m not gonna knock a star for that because I’ve got the river.

Very beautiful place to camp. Between the river and the trees it kept things very cool, which was great because it was about 102 the weekend we went.

I had issues with two things.

1) the porta potty's where so bad that we could smell it from our tents! Yuck!

2) when I reserved the spot online, it stated that we could get 1 spot and it would fit 2 tents. When we got there, the camp host informed us that deal was for families with children. 1 large tent and 1 small tent. Without seeing what size tents we had or asking, he just forced us to pay for a whole extra camping spot. Then on the following Monday they changed my card for a 3rd day. Instead of paying 78 bucks for 2 nights, it turned out to be closer to 190 bucks. We were only staying there because it was close to a concert venue we were attending. So we weren't even there all day.

The cost and the lack of transparency was disappointing.

Great place to stay! Chris was vary accommodating and quick response time. Perfect place for families and if you are looking for an off the beaten path place to stay the night or a weekend.

Nice place along the Lewis River. It would even be more nice if there was some type of septic system for long term camping
