This RV park is located on a bend in the Menominee River, which is the border between Michigan and Wisconsin so there is river access. Average sized both pull through and back in full hook up sites. They allow tents. The bathhouse was VERY dated with pay showers ($0.25/2 minutes) which worked well. There is an old railroad bed that’s been converted into a trail that runs very near the campground. It’s excellent for running, walking, biking and side by sides.

Well manicured and well kept. Big campground along the river. Helpful staff. Cement patios/ mostly level at the full hookup sites. 10 minutes to Iron Mountain, 1 hour to Escanaba. Great water pressure. Easily one of the better environments I have stayed at.

We were visiting friends who were kicked out without warning or refund after their child briefly stepped near an abandoned fox den. They should have never been placed near the den in the first place. The campground was nearly empty. The manager, Judy Pezzulo, showed up screaming and completely unprofessional. Staff had been photographing them the entire time. Awful experience. Avoid Riversbend.

One of the nicest campgrounds we've stayed at. Lady in the office is very nice, beautiful spot, highly recommend site 100. Right on the river with your own fishing dock. Free laundry! Clean bathrooms. Fantastic stay, thank you!

Stayed in fhu pull in spot #11 at the end of June. No wi-fi. Grassy gravel spot but level. There is a cement pad next to it with a picnic table which is nice. Across the way is a view of the Menominee River and a tall bridge. There's also a little canal that you can tie up a little watercraft. The park is mostly made up of what looks like permanent residents. Most of the water's edge is occupied by these homes. I wasn't sure if you could walk along there or if it was private. There were trailers onsite. One with washers and dryers and the other contained 3 separate bathroom shower combos. I was curious about the washers and dryers so I called the office and was advised they were free to use. I was going to be checking out that day so I wasn't going to be using them but she said to go ahead because no one would be coming into my spot so I could do laundry. That was very nice of her. However, the machines took longer than expected both to wash and to dry. In fact, I changed dryers and still my clothes were damp close to 2 hours later. I needed to leave so took them out damp and hung them all around the RV to dry while I drove all day to my next location. While I waited for my laundry I took a shower. The bathrooms are a little tight. The shower handle was different. I had to hold it for the water to stay on and the water was not warming up so it was an interesting shower. All and all it's a nice area and if you need a spot for a night or two it works.

A Hidden Gem - Exceptional Camping Experience! Rating: 5/5 stars I'm thrilled to share my outstanding experience at The Rivers bend campsite! As a seasoned camper (43 years young!), I've had the pleasure of visiting numerous campsites, but this one stands out from the rest. The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and dedicated to ensuring a comfortable stay. Initially, the community may seem a bit reserved, but don't let that deter you - they soon warm up, and the atmosphere becomes peaceful and serene. I've found my new go-to camping spot, and I'm eager to return every summer (if not more often!). The Rivers bend campsite offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We were fortunate to arrive during a gentle rain, which allowed us to set up our tent under a pavilion - a blessing in disguise! This sheltered spot made our camping trip even more amazing, as we avoided the scorching sun beating down on us in the morning. We were so enchanted by the campsite and its surroundings that we extended our stay from two nights to three - and still didn't want to leave! The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the excitement of exploring Kingsford and Iron Mountain, made for an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed fishing, rafting, and camping, all within walking distance. Thank you, The Rivers bend campsite, for an incredible experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a tranquil and fun camping experience. We'll be back soon!

We stayed in site 99. I don't what to say the that the pictures can't. Staff was more than helpful. We explored the area and went up to Marquette for a day then out to Pictured Rocks. Our sight was very nice, above what We've seen in other parks. Direct access to the water via a private steps to a small dock. We enjoyed nights with a fire under the stars. No problems with power or leveling. Park is under new management and are making upgrades around the park. We camped at Rivers Bend Campground in a Motorhome

Great campground, the camp hosts are very accomodating and friendly. Will return!

The grounds of this campground are neat and well-maintained. A large percentage of the sites are people living there full-time. We stopped for 3 nights and paid almost $200 for electric, water, and cable, no sewer so we wanted to shower in the bathrooms. Well, like the directions say, Don’t forget your quarters! You need one quarter for 2 and 1/2 minutes of water. Are you kidding me? $200 for three nights and we can’t even shower?!

One of the nicest RV park we every been to. Clean bathrooms and sites. Grass sites not dirt, and level. Site 99 is unbelievable, right on the river, super quiet and serene. The view of the bridge and from the bridge are breathtaking. Staff and other campers super friendly and lots of outdoor activities. Bring your kayak or float or you'll regret it. We'll be back, that's a promise.

TENT CAMPING REVIEW - I have stayed here twice now for tent camping and I absolutely love it! The tent sites are away from the RV sites which is really nice. The location and easy tent camping brings me back. There are flush toilets and showers not too far from the tent sites. If you are staying in the UP and want to go tent camping, I highly recommend this place! Both times I got a tent site that was pretty much to itself :D

Highly recommend. Great place to stay

Beautiful area! ATV trails close. Nice sites with hookups, reasonable $$, clean, well groomed grounds river access for fishing. Owners are exceptionally helpful and accommodating! **New owners in 2021! Prices have gone up, not sure how to rate now!
