ECLIPSE at the Riverside
We had an amazing exprience on Bryan and Amanda's land - ECLIPSE at the Riverside! We made our way to this beautiful area for viewing the eclipse in totality and we weren't dissappointed. Bryan had all the amenities for a good night camping plus a good few more. We enjoyed both the wilds and the family community thriving on this land. The waterfront was great for bird watching as we made camp with plenty of room all around. The land is adjacent to a train track which can be loud for light sleepers but is a fun marker of camping in the wilds. We felt cozy and well distanced at our tent site #1, which shared a field with site #2. We purchased wood which Bryan brought straight to our fire-ring. We appreciate the hospitality shown by Bryan, Amanda, and their family and getting the chance to share this once in a lifetime experience with them!

We had a really stellar time watching the eclipse from kayaks on the water. Such a cool experience. Brain and his lovely family were beyond helpful and kind from the moment we arrived and any time we had a question or needed anything. We really enjoyed the goats, other animals, and conversations we had with new friends made. 💙

We had truly the best stay at this campground! Bryan and his family are incredible and we already can’t wait to come back. The site was beautiful and there were so many fun activities! It was so special to be a small part of this families small business. Felt very private while also being communicative hosts who were there when you needed them!

It’s a great place to camp if you want to avoid crowds at a state campground. We enjoyed it a lot.
