Onion River Campground

Thanks Jacqueline for the excellent service. This is a simple life, small friendly camping with peace and love vibes. River access is not easy even from the beach. This looks like a work in progress project. Had to go early because of health issues and was reimbursed the night, this is rare and sets them apart for overall great service. Upon arrival, you'll see that it's a self-service entrance, it's easy, it's a one road camping, and all sites are easily accessible even if some don't have very leveled grounds.

The water smells like rotten eggs. The tent area grass is very overgrown, not mowed. No fire pits or benches for the tents. You just set up wherever on the hill. Down below is for the RVs. The bathhouse is dilapidated. Only one of the two bathrooms is in operation, so it's unisex. Two showers and two toilets. no paper towels or amenities. The sink handle needs to be held with one hand while trying to wash up with the other hand as it will stop running when you release the handle. It's very annoying.

So bummed that this campground wasn’t what we expected based on their website. First of all, it would’ve been nice to know the narrow bridge 22k pound limit before we had no choice but to go across it. Next, we were very put off by the dilapidated buildings and road in the campground… passing by old, unmaintained campers where I assume long term residents live looked slummish for lack of a better word. The store was dark and very old looking mid afternoon and a bit eery… no one was manning it. When we got to our site in the pouring rain, my husband did our hookups. Unfortunately, we were given a site with 30amp instead of the 50 amp site reserved (I double checked my reservation). Again, no staff availability in the office so we were very frustrated. In a field that was nearly empty, we were placed next to a dilapidated camper with plywood walls and marijuana being grown on the roof in orange Home Depot buckets. The wifi was a joke - terrible. At that point, we just made a decision to leave the next morning instead of the planned 2 night stay. I had been very excited about this campground based on their representation online on their website. Oh well, live and learn. If you make claims on your website, you should deliver what you promise. :-(

Cool place! Stopped here on our last night on a motorcycle trip. Definitely would come back if in the area. Camped up in the apple orchard. A little unlevel, but still ok. Thank you!

We have camped here for the last 3 years and definitely recommend it, every year it seems to get better and better! They now have a camp store with lots of goodies, gifts, and coffee! You can set up a tent at the site of your choosing(if not too busy), such as by the river, in the field called "tent city", or nestled next to wild flowers. The only things I can think of that may turn people away is that the facilities, such as the showers and bathrooms, tend to be open to the outside so they will have insects inside, the water provided has a sulphur smell due to it being well water, and there is little to no cell service (a blessing in disguise, lol) . Other than these small things, I think this campsite is perfect for anyone who wants to get close to nature!
