Weekend Trip to Goodview Campground at RMOC

We had a great weekend at this site! It's right on the river, and given the time of year (mid-September) the water level was down a bit and there were no rafters going by so the site was very private. There were a few fly fisherman, but that was it. Despite the light up on the hill that other's have noted (I think it's on an adjoining property) we thought the stars were pretty wonderful. My daughter and I commented that it was probably our favorite campsite we have been to on our annual camping trip. I would highly recommend. Some things to note: 1) While the owner's should probably pony up and provide a picnic table at the site (it would really improve the site), we brought a small folding table that worked out perfectly. 2) You have to load your equipment down a fairly steep wooden ramp so be prepared.

1 night at Goodview Campground at RMOC

It’s true like other people have said in reviews that there is not a lot of privacy due to rafters in the river. But this is only during the rafting tour’s open hours, and we still had an amazing time wading in the river and setting up our site when they were open and on the river. After that, the sunset, campsite, sound of the river and fire pit were all worth it! Our dog also loved the location!

Weekend Trip to Goodview Campground at RMOC

Beautiful view of the river from our campsite, and loved hearing it at night as we slept! It was fun to watch the rafters go by during the day - we didn’t mind it, but if you wanted privacy that + being near the other campsites might not be your thing. It was also in a very convenient location next to rafting outfitters and a quick drive to BV.
