We rented an RV spot near the bathroom #55, perfect location. GREAT guy that runs the grounds , does golf cart rounds often to make sure all is well, friendly and kind. Bathrooms we used were recently redone, not bad at all , showers had great pressure and were free. We had a small area but plenty of room still for our 32 foot RV with 2 slide outs, grill, chairs, picnic table, our 4ft table and al... We rented an RV spot near the bathroom #55, perfect location. GREAT guy that runs the grounds , does golf cart rounds often to make sure all is well, friendly and kind. Bathrooms we used were recently redone, not bad at all , showers had great pressure and were free. We had a small area but plenty of room still for our 32 foot RV with 2 slide outs, grill, chairs, picnic table, our 4ft table and all of our decor. We had great neighbors all over the park that were all friendly, pet friendly ,and very very quiet. The ONLY thing that was disappointing for me was the laundry, washers were small and dryers took 3 cycles to dry , each load is $2.50 but other than that we LOVED being there this weekend!!! Can’t wait to return!! Thank you Riverside Campground for making our stay pleasant and enjoyable! Jackie, Ben & Molly

Bait and switch? Not at all as described. The website says there’s a “camp store for essentials”. There is no camp store. They don’t even sell wood. They sell ice. The website says the “campground offers fishing on the Merriland River”, also not true. There may have been at some point, in the distant past, but water (brook like) utterly inaccessible. Not anything like the park map. Our site was no... Bait and switch? Not at all as described. The website says there’s a “camp store for essentials”. There is no camp store. They don’t even sell wood. They sell ice. The website says the “campground offers fishing on the Merriland River”, also not true. There may have been at some point, in the distant past, but water (brook like) utterly inaccessible. Not anything like the park map. Our site was not paved (as depicted in park photos). Unexpectedly crowded with mostly seasonal (and seemingly year round) campers. Tent sites were located on grass “islands” surrounded by campground roads and literally right beside the playground, and let me tell you… there must have been 30 kids. We were pleased that our campsite was next to an empty site, on the first night. Subsequent nights the empty site was tightly packed with 4 cars. The park description states there are clean showers which appeared to be true however, we chose not to use them as 1. They are coin operated and 2. Individual stalls with curtain and door. While “technically” in a building, I would argue that that’s not an accurate description. Lastly was the surprise train that goes by, whistle blowing, several times a day. If you One star for the guy on the golf cart because he was very nice and because the park is conveniently located. You decide.

Way too small of camp areas. Felt like the next person was sitting on top of us. I watched at least four other people driving and look how small the spots were and took off. We went there to relax not to have people two feet away from you. The employees were not friendly. There is no camp store there is nothing in the building but his desk. No wood to get for the fires.

Site was so small we could not have a fire and set up our tents. Bathroom was clean however there were no showers that were operational. Pool closed early but again was very clean. No clothes lines were allowed to hang wet clothes. Picnic table was broken.

I have been coming here for 9 years and have had no problems, in fact everyone loved it. Then the new owners came and absolutely destroyed this place. It breaks my heart seeing a place that used to be so well managed and loved become such a place of disgust. There was a incident where a man came on to someone’s site and started yelling at CHILDREN with no adult around, then when management was contacted they told the children and their parents for them to leave the campground and keep the man there.And don’t even get be started on those disgusting bathrooms, EW. This place has really come to be a mess and it’s not safe.
