There's so much fun waiting for you to explore! Tubes are available for a $5 charge per day. If you're feeling extra adventurous, there are rope swings that let you swing over the river, and there are super cool places to splash around and swim, part of which, is in the Indian Fish Trap.
When your tummy starts rumbling, don't worry. We've got you covered with grills in the community area where you can cook delicious food. So you can have a tasty meal with the sound of the river flowing in the background. Also we are within 5-10 minutes to stores, restaurant , etc.
But wait, there's more excitement! If you're looking for an even bigger adventure, this is the perfect spot to begin an awesome kayaking trip if you brought your kayak. Castleberry Bridge is where people from all over the country come to experience going through the Miner's Tunnel.

Nice setting, convenient to nearby hiking, wineries, forest service roads, and plenty more to explore. Very easy in and out for the trailer. Was especially nice to have hookups (to run A/C) in the summer heat/humidity. No issue with the neighborhood dogs mentioned in the description, they were friendly and unobtrusive. I'll be back - but next time in spring or fall when the heat and bugs are down.

We loved tent camping at Castleberry Bridge! We booked last minute as our 4 year old son kept bugging us to go camping. Next thing you know, our son and George are besties and he woke up both mornings asking for Mr. George. He treated us like family. George and Gini have done a tremendous job in cleaning up this area of the river. As well making this a family friendly spot but also room for those without children. It was a fun, communal type feel. The slides into the water, the baby swing and park slides beach side, tubes available throughout the day (extra charge), life jackets all throughout, high chairs built into the picnic tables, campfires pre made by George so you had one less thing to think about after the fun day were all perks! He even made sure we were prepared for the rain that came through via text and showing up on site. For families looking to start camping, this place is it! We can’t wait to go back!
