We had a lovely, peaceful, relaxing week at River's Edge Campground. A beautiful view of the river greets you every morning. The staff is great, the campground is clean and quiet, we loved our time here. This was our second stay and we definitely look forward to returning next October.

We had a wonderful stay at Rivers Edge. It is a beautiful setting, right on the Bay river. Great docks and a boat ramp. We'll definitely fish next time. There are many permanent campers but we had no trouble booking a site last minute. The camp hosts are incredible and very accomodating. Everyone there is so friendly. I could rock on the covered river front shelter for hours! Very peaceful!! The only reason I gave 4 stars is there are only 2 bathrooms, one men, the other womens. They were very clean but frequently occupied. We have a camper van, not a full hook up RV. I imagine this could be a real problem on a busy week/weekend. We prefer camping when its not busy so certainly not a deal breaker. We plan on returning with other camper friends of ours!

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at this Rivers Edge house! The home is right on the water with a gorgeous big porch overlooking the river—perfect for morning coffee or just watching the boats go by or even napping. The nautical décor gave it such a cozy, coastal feel, and everything inside was spotless. The area was incredibly peaceful—almost unbelievably quiet—which made it the perfect escape. The fenced-in yard was great for pets, and the house being raised up gave us covered parking and a nice shaded hangout space. We also enjoyed the large fire pit in the yard and had a fire both nights. The dock was another highlight—whether fishing (which was good!) or just sitting and soaking in the view. Inside, the house has plenty of space with 2 bedrooms, 2½ baths, and a large open kitchen that flows into the dining and living area. The many windows let in lots of natural light and gave us constant views of the water. It’s tucked off the main road, adding to the quiet, and the staff at Rivers Edge Campground were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. All in all, a perfect spot for relaxing, fishing, or just enjoying the beauty of the river. We can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at River4's Edge. The campground is amazing. The people are friendly. The boat ramp is convenient and the dock is sufficient for boats, fishing, shrimping, and just sitting to watch the water. We look forward to coming back next year and enjoying it all over again! And, the pool will be a welcome addition!
