R Campground

Jewelz Garcia

First and foremost, we are full-time RVs since 2022 and had the privilege to visit plenty RV parks and resorts. From county parks to state parks to luxury RV resorts we visited all kinds of properties. With that said we found that we enjoy campsites that are leveled, easy access, big rig, friendly, and easy to navigate throughout the RV park. We found none of those things once we pulled into this RV park! Unfortunately, yes, this is self service, but there is no CLEAR direction whatsoever once you enter the campground. When I called to make a reservation, I was instructed by the gentleman to call as I arrive so he could provide directions. I called 30 mins prior to arrival ….. but no answer. Once you arrive, you’re instructed to go to the Laundry house to register. I knocked, walked in but the place was empty. I read the signage and filled out a form and grabbed a map. Now I’ve seen PLENTY maps and understand logistics but this was extremely confusing. Typically, you see different colors to indicate whether it’s a 30 amp spot or 50 amp. We need something long with full hookups, which the gentleman on the phone confirmed. After this …. You’re basically on your own, I decided to get off instead of having my husband pull the rig around since it’s a big rig. But we found that we basically have to drive around to locate a semi level spot. We tried a couple different sites, but most of them were EXTREMELY un-level & there was NO WAY we would’ve been able to level the rig even with all of the right tools. (Which we did.) The other disadvantage is there’s no signage for the sites, which made it even harder to navigate throughout the park. The picnic tables are extremely worn and would have some safety concerns. Lastly, the park is surrounded by homes …. The site we ended up at (NWT29) was the backyard of one of those houses. Zero privacy for the home owners or us. Half of the park was closed offer which appeared to be a little nicer and more level, however, the rest of the park was extremely trashy, dirty and appeared abandoned. Lastly, the final thing to point out if you have a big rig …. GPS took us to 200th St & Clark St …… which was EXTREMELY TIGHT TO TURN onto Clark St. We cringed as we made the turn. 😬 Not sure how this place got an 8.9 review and why others have stated this was a nice park because it’s anything but. Not to mention the convenient /liquor store in front of the campground which should’ve been our first instinct to RUN! Needless to say this our LEAST favorite stay. It’s only a one nighter so we’ll make it work but anyone with a BIG RIG 40 foot + should really reconsider. I would not recommend staying here.

Absolutely a great campground! Convenient to the highway, clean, friendly, relaxing and comfortable. Handicap accessible too. We recommend this to anyone!

The shower house/restrooms is well kept. They keep it clean, they have automatic scent sprayers so it smells good, and there is a large fan you can turn on in there. The shower house itself is 5 stars! The tent site was all flooded out so they let us pitch tent in the RV site. Great experience. I'll be coming back again for sure. It was also really quiet!

Updated review: I’ve stayed here many times now. I’m always impressed. Everyone is very nice and helpful. All of the hookups are easy to use. There is a laundry facility, and they have quarters available for you. They have a shower room and an area to sit and relax. They fill propane here as well. There are canoe rentals. There is a playground. All of the sites look very nice and very well maintained. They are gravel and I have always had a level site. The river is beautiful. There is also a pond. Lots of land to walk around. I still highly recommend! Previous review: Very nice campground, very convenient! Open in the winter, has full hook ups that work perfectly! Cute little town and it’s right on a river. It’s really well maintained. I would definitely stay again, and I highly recommend!

This campground is amazing! River and lake views, walking trail, lots of shade, and very reasonably priced. If you're a Good Sam member, it's $28 per night for full hookups. The hosts, Clint and Jamie, were very helpful. There's a laundromat and a store on site as well.

Patti Gerling

Nice campground. Loved the full hook up. The host was wonderful. The dumpster was way overflowing! Shower house was nice but a long way away. I would definitely stay there again.

What an amazing find! We rolled up without a reservation and were able to score a beautiful pull through site. It was fully shaded under old trees right on the river with full hookups. This is a beautiful RV Park nicely landscaped lots of grass and trees. I would be glad to come and stay for a week or more just enjoying the peaceful location.
