I will definitely be back here. The walk down to the river bed is a bit steep, but it’s a little slice of heaven down there. Host was extremely responsive and accommodating

JoRo’s land was an amazing camping spot. Very flat meadow for tent, an outhouse and a shower! JoRo was really helpful with directions and questions I had, a very kind host. I would highly recommend.

This tent was great and provided great access to Willow Creek so we could go to Bigfoot Daze. Also, swimming down at the Trinity River was excellent. The bath house was really nice as well 5/5 stars from us.

I loved camping at JoRo's land! Perch Riverview Glamping will definitely be my choice for next time - it looked SO amazing and offered a view of the river from the bed itself and the interior looked oh so cozy, clean, and adorably designed. *I was staying at the campground alone so got a chance to look around. The kitchen and shower facilities also looked amazing. The meadow was great, there was a lovely fire pit and outhouse. It wasn't the flattest meadow of all, but flat enough to be comfortable. I didn't figure out how to access the river, but that's on me as I didn't ask. Also didn't see a difference between site 16 and 24. The host was super responsive and gave great directions on how to get there as it is quiet tricky - just a little turnoff that's easy to miss. I was a solo traveller and definitely felt safe here.

We took a road trip around NorCal in a 32' RV. Dawn's site provided a perfectly located stop point for us on 299 with full hookups. The site is easy to get in and out of, everything is meticulously well-maintained. There is a cafe just across the street (walking 1 min) with great coffee (and food) that they roast and distribute themselves. The owners are very welcoming and will help answer any questions you may have. And of course you're right on the Trinity river, so bald eagles and deer crossing river is what you'll get.

I had such a lovely stay with my kiddo this past week! Both hosts were so kind and generous.. even greeted us and helped us to our campsite when we arrived after dark. Had great communication throughout our stay- very sweet. Definitely recommend the river access super nearby, down by Candystick Park!

Super beautiful site! a bit hard to find the driveway (make sure to turn as soon as possible after the bridge) the hosts were very helpful and for an extra $20 we upgraded from car camping to the Yurt and it was extremely spacious and warm :)

Weekend Trip to Perch Riverview Glamping

Amazing time. We had the whole lot to ourselves and it was the best vibes. The little meadow was the perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful nature surrounding. Nobody bothered us, but the outhouse bucket was full when we arrived. I would recommend this place to other campers but probably not in the busy season, it would feel a big cramped.
