The views of the River were stunning. The campground was clean and well maintained. The lady who checked us in is awesome. The train that barrels right by the park every twenty five minutes not so appreciated.

Nice campground, right along the river. Sites are a bit close together but staggered, which helped. There’s train tracks on one edge of the campground, which could cause some annoyance, but they went quickly.

This was our 3rd straight year staying at Grant River to close out the season. It’s nice they stay open a week longer than some other campgrounds. On that last day the checkout time is moved to 4pm as everyone needs to use the dump station. We don’t find the trains an issue but they are there, you get used to them. Nice level concrete pads and nicely kept. Our site had a faulty 50A breaker. The attendant responded to the problem promptly but unable to rectify it but 30A was sufficient for our needs. Bring your own water but there are hydrants scattered about and some are within hose distance to refill your tanks if necessary. No issues with maneuvering our 34’ Class A and toad. Sites are spacious( some better than others) with our site #39 being very nice, just closer to the train tracks. The river is always beautiful. We’ll be back!!

Very pretty and peaceful site on the river (#28) - The park is very clean and each site very well laid out. Check in was easy. We will return!

Crowded sites but lovely camping area. We enjoyed the river, the walking, exploring the region from here.
Due to the design being similar to a zipper the ladder of the unit in the other row backed up to our eating area window. They had poop tanks strapped onto their ladder and we have a slide on the side. We had to have a spotted when we opened our slide. Also, while there are leash ‘rules’ most dogs were on long tie outs. This means they were at our rv, under our rv, and a bit of a concern.
There are sources for water through out the campground, not at each site, but easy to fill your tanks, jugs, etc.
There are a lot of trains. We don’t mind at all, we take Amtrak, so the noise was no issue. The trains are close so the rv vibrates as they thunder past.
The attendant was very nice.

My families' second time camping here and it was great! The campsite is well maintained and super family-friendly environment. They even have a freelibrary to pick or donate a good book! Definetly will be coming back more often.

The hourly (and sometimes many per hour) trains were reduced, most likely due to a slowed economy. This was nice. But troubling in the sense that less goods are moving via rail. I noticed the same thing with the tugs . Much less river traffic than in the past. Was also bummed that a beautiful site right by the river and furthest from the railway tracks, had nobody on it for the whole weekend! Yet Was “reserved” by someone who never showed! I thought they were put back in the system if folks are a no show!
