LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! My daughter and I took our first solo camping trip without Dad. I felt so comfortable here. Its very peaceful and safe. The sites are really nice and spacious. LOts of flat spots for tents. Love the bear safe food storage. The river is peaceful and great for kids as there is a lovely little beach that is good for little ones to splash around in. There is a good 10 ft into the water thats nice and sandy so bare feet are ok. There are other areas that are more rocky also and then further in the river it gets deep and lots of plants. Fun to watch the jumping fish. Ione itself is super small but had what we needed. The Food court there is good and has excellent ice cream. Really love the red bridge there. I will definitely go again.

The campground was clean, and tidy. Pit toilets were really clean. The campsites, with the exception of 2 (5 and 7) are extremely small and tight if you have more than a tent. There were very little areas for shade during the heat of the day. The campground swimming area is basically a goose wading area and the only other way to access is via steep trails to the water. These access points have terribly thick weeds under the water and wouldn't be safe anyways. So we went to ione City Park, which isn't much better, but some. The stars were amazing, the nature sublime, but overall, not stellar.

Beautiful campground with plenty of great sites to choose from. The only negative is that only 2 of the sites have water access, 20 & 19. Despite this small detail, had a great time and would love to visit Edgewater Campground again.

I went to this campground this weekend and they said they had bears and cougars but don't have the porper boxes and some spots do and some don't. Just be careful if you have children and small pets .

Gorgeous. Let me say this again gorgeous. The sites were very large and wooded. The views were splendid. I was left silent at the views of the water and of surrounding views. Was very peaceful. I felt like I could stay here until someone forced me to move. Had great facilities and boat ramp. Was able to kayak up to the campground and pull aground eat my lunch and go back out again with ease. Well kept secret. Be careful as your driving in. Right before the turn off there is a very active small farm with children and dogs.
