From jct US 15 & SR 45: Go 4-1/2 mi S on US 15, then 100 yds SE on 7 Kitchens Rd, then 100 ft NE on Reitz Rd, then 1/4 mi E on River Edge Lane.
Stayed there twice and found it to be nice. Went back a 3rd time with a reservation and found our site occupied. The owners said they were sorry and moved us to an open, soggy field with no amenities. I ask for a partial refund since we paid for full hookups. She refused and said if we didn't like it she would refund our money and we should just leave. We did and will never go back.
Always love talking to Donna. Alot of the people there treat each other like family. When something happens, there are people ready to step in and lend a hand. Love spending time at this campground.

Donna is a wonderful person, she's like a second mother to me and my family. People need to just give her a break. There are rules at every campground and those who do not follow them and yes we know who you are and you could have left but you chose not to, so thats on you. Everything was fixed. Needless to say could not ask for a better family then the ppl at the campground.
This used to be a nice fun place years ago, then the lack of ground maintenance and the owner’s need for personal involvement in guests’ lives has run the place into the ground. Check out our shared photos showing the faulty electrical, unusable water, and general unsafe conditions where dead trees fall at any given time, and you will see why you want to avoid this place at any cost. Faulty wires and dangerous overloaded circuits cause several campers to have their electronics fried. 12 camping sites were told they couldn’t use their air conditioners on the hottest days of 2018 because they had the circuits so overloaded you couldn’t get more than 80 volts out of a 120 volt line. They literally tie extension cords together and run them to the tent sites for power! The water quality is 100% unusable. The river water is actually cleaner than the tap water. The owner likes to make 100’s of rules and then travels from site to site gossiping about the other guests. Real professional way to run a business? The small group that she uses as her spies, however, has immunity to the rules and can do whatever they want. If you approach her with a maintenance issue or problems you are experiencing she throws her hands in the air and says “what do you want me to do about it?” We want you to fix it, that’s normally what a groundskeeper does especially when you are paying almost $1600 a year, plus $400 for a boat dock that was pulled out weeks earlier despite the stated camping CONTRACT dates. They market it as family friendly but the playground is unsafe for kids. Every time another dead tree falls they chop it up and dump it in the playground lot. There is a huge pile of logs which has become habitat for snakes, raccoons and rodents. This is literally a few feet from where your children are supposed to play. The rats have even eaten holes through guests campers! Hopefully in the near future an investor buys it out and restores it back to what it once was, but at this point the place is so far gone it seems hopeless, and the owner could care less once she gets your check. There used to be a lot of great people there and everyone treated each other like family, but those days are gone since the owner has basically chased everyone away with her personal meddling and lack of professionalism. Sad...
We traveled 3 hours to camp at this Campground we checked out all campgrounds in the area they were packed like sardines this is exactly what we were looking for for our vacation easy access to the water peaceful and quiet the water was crystal clear you could see right to the bottom we were right on the river I don't know what people's talking about Donna is the owner and is the nicest person I ever met in a campground I would give this campground at 10 star not a five
