What campers say

Riverside Campground sits on the river below the dam with spread-out, scenic sites and easy access for fishing and boats via a central boat ramp and small fishing platform. Visitors consistently praise the attentive camp host and well-kept restrooms, potable water and trash service. Amenities are limited - no dump station - and some have noted online-only reservations with added fees and a late (5 pm) check-in time. Parts of the park show flood-related wear and occasional maintenance needs, so it's best suited to those prepared for simple, mostly dry camping and water-oriented recreation.
