The campground was fine. Older facilities but I really enjoyed the wood sites. We won't be going back though because the float trip sucked. I get that mother nature plays a big role in it, but they lied to my face when I asked about river conditions. I was told they were fine and rafts where not dragging. We had to drag our rafts for miles. By the time we got close to the take out and the river was finally good we were all to exhausted to enjoy the last half mile. The section of river they chose to float is terrible. Every other time I've floated on the black it has been great. Probably go back to Park Bluff, there float starts just before this one ends. Much better section of the river.

The staff was very friendly but easily distracted and would start speaking with other people while being in the middle of checking us out. Once I had made my payment, they sent me on my way with no information as to where our sites were or a map to try and find them. The restrooms were cleaned on Friday when I arrived, but by Sunday morning, they had not been cleaned out or trash taken out. We ended up reserving 4 sites, none of which had a usable fire pit to grill on. Each site did not have a clean layout or even a designated spot to park. There was also not a picnic table at every site. There were also quite a few other guests that had loud speakers playing music. This was of no issue until we hit quite hours. The quiet hours were not enforced at all, which led to many groups still playing load music at 12:30 a.m., making it quite hard to fall asleep. For the floating portion of our trip we were very disappoint. They did not provide us with any information as to how long the float would be, what time we had to be back by, or where we were supposed to take out. When we were dropped off at the beach to put in, the staff was very rude and was trying to rush us off the beach as fast as possible. One of our rafts had a leak in to before we even started. The two inner tubs we rented were not even floating inner tubs. They were truck tire inner tubs that were black with long valve stems. Both of those things led to them being highly uncomfortable and even hard for some of our smaller people to sit in. Over all it was enough small things that made they entire weekend a bit of a disappointment.

A friend of mine took me tent camping here last year and I loved it. We took another friend just last weekend and we had a great time. I like to be close to the river and we were both times. I’m planning to take my Dad in a couple of weeks. He’s going to love it. It’s a nice family friendly campground and everyone in the office was super friendly. The bathrooms & showers are clean and in descent shape. The only downfall was I had no phone service but that’s not always a bad thing…lol I recommend Riversedge Campground and will definitely be going back.

We have been camping at riversedge for over 10 yrs and we love the location to the river and the new owners are trying to bring it up to date with the computer systems and reservations. Plus we all ready see the shower house / bathrooms are under construction with updates. They also graded out the gravel slope going into the river so it makes it easier to walk into the water. For a nice shady campground close to the river this would be it.

Camped hear over the weekend heard a lot of noise after quiet hours, was not enforced. My dad rented a canoe and it was filling up with water. He went back and I called the office 18 times before someone picked up the phone so i can check on him. They told me they were bringing him a new one witch he asked them to take him back to the camp site and we waited on the river 2 hours for him. So they lied to me. Will not camp here again
