We had a delightful stay! We knew about the trains at night in advance and you know what? It was rather charming. I'd hear the horn off a ways, sorta grin to myself and fall right back asleep. I guess it's all about your attitude going in. Anyway, give the place a try, beautiful setting and very clean and tidy overall!

Grant River is our favorite place to camp. The Rangers and staff are so friendly. The campground hosts are constantly cleaning and checking the campground. The sunsets are so amazing. Only downfall is that the boat landing is not usable.

It's very peaceful there...it's just to bad they don't have more for the kids to do there.

Tent sites can be close together in some areas. Great views of the river. Passing freight trains are loud and come by hourly at times. Overall this is a well maintained campground- majority of campers are using rvs.

Some complain about the trains but you know they're there going in so that's a choice you make. Its sooooo worth it though. The views can't be beat, there's an upper and lower campground and I think next time I'm going to shoot for the lower one. Quieter. Very clean bathroom and shower. Boat landing isn't used because it needs to be dredged. But mostly cement pads so no leveling. Its stunning being on the widest part of the river when it flows east to west. Looking forward to going back!

overall, a night site and plenty of room. The path to the bathrooms is a bit wonky to navigate at night other, wise a great and beautiful campground. Also everyone there was very friendly, staff and fellow campers!
