What campers say

Riverside West Campground offers riverside sites with generous spacing, privacy, and shade, plus picnic shelters at each site, power and water hookups, a small playground, and easy access to John Redmond Reservoir. Many visitors find the grounds peaceful, well priced and staffed by friendly rangers. Restroom and shower facilities are available, though reports on cleanliness and maintenance are mixed, and electrical outlets have needed attention at times. Larger rigs may find some sites awkward to maneuver. Overall a good value for outdoor relaxation with a few maintenance trade-offs to note.
