Site 3 - The River Life
It was a great secluded spot you would have never known was there! Right in the river! Close to many awesome hikes and attractions! Sadly I was just passing through on a cross country move, and it was raining... she can't do much about Mother Nature. I would love to return one weekend!

Site 7
Outstanding Camping Experience
Site 7 is an absolutely wonderful site! We loved it so much and already are planning on staying again. It is a little hard to navigate around and find your site, but Kelly was extremely helpful and responsive when I reached out for help finding our site. Couldn’t recommend this location any more!!

The Sydney
The Sydney was clean and ready when I got there. The bathhouse was clean also but be prepared for a steep set of stairs!
Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and the grounds were wet. I will definitely book again!

Site 1 - The River Life
Great Rive Side site
We stayed at site 1 with a small off road capable teardrop camper. Beautiful site right along the river. We were close to the bathhouse with toilets and shower. I loved the sound of the river, so peaceful. There was more road noise that I prefer but that gave nice access to things in the area and the river being right there was great. My husband would like to try for site 7 next time as he feels the fishing will be better at that spot. We drove about 15 minutes to do a Beautiful hike out to mouse falls, highly recommended if you like hiking. We will be back to River Life for sure.

The Sydney
Spring break
I loved camping at Kelly’s campground, we stayed at the Sydney, it was perfect to keep us warm on the cold nights, the views are spectacular, plenty of space to explore and view different entrances to the river.
The bath house was clean and well equipped , Kelly came over twice quickly to help us figure out the hot water and the heater in the room.
We are definitely going to come back, the Buddhist temple is a must see, I went back to a favorite trout farm restaurant only 20 minutes away and we were also able to make one trip for lunch at the Apple Barn.
Several gas stations and restaurants nearby making it convenient for small last minute purchases.
I give it a thumbs up 👍
