The campground is small and pretty with plenty of shade and many fairly private spots. It's first come first served as get there early.
Reason for only 3 stars:
Only a few of the spots have access to the river, which is a bummer because they could put in general access as well if they wanted it to be available to more people. The sounds of the river at night were pleasant.
Also at the end of the campground there is a gate to a private road. There were cars coming and going through that gate at all hours. The gate squeaks which is disruptive at night and where we were camped meant the headlights shined right into our camper every time someone stopped there to open the gate, drive through, and then shut it.
What earned it 3 stars:
The camp host was fantastic, taking her responsibility very seriously and keeping immaculate grounds and facilities. The vault toilets actually smelled fresh and clean inside.
The area is lovely and right before you enter the campground there's a shallow pond for the kids to swim in.
We live close enough this will likely be a regular quick weekend away, but I likely wouldn't drive a long distance for it given the limited river access and the constant traffic through it.
Very clean campground. Bathroom was super clean and the host has wipes and sanitizer in there for guest use. We had a problem while there and she was right there to help out till it was fixed. Can't say enough good about the host there and the work she does. Also saw the creek running through but didn't get down to see it. Very calm quiet and relaxing. Campsite was clean.
Lower Piedra River Campground is beautifully located next to the river, and has the best camp host ever!l Pickett is friendly, helpful and fun! The pit toilets are exceptionally clean and tidy and are equipped with wipes and hand sanitizer,- such a nice touch. Thanks Pickett! Would love to return some time.
