Beautiful and peaceful location. The kids loved running around and playing on the huge field and along the riverbank. The large pavilion with electric comes in handy for blowing up mattresses and the porta-pot style toilet was the cleanest I've ever seen! This was our second time staying here and look forward to staying again.

Love this area. We have now camped here 4 times and have not had a single complaint. The hosts are very welcoming and even take our kids for rides on their golf cart. This trip was our second annual camping trip with high school friends and bringing all of our kids together to play is awesome. Three of the campsites border a nice 2 acre or greater size yard and the kids play until they are so tired or it’s time for s’mores. We are already talking about another trip this summer.

Amazingly kind host, definitely a great spot. Bathrooms were super clean and had a nightlight in it and wash station. Easy access to the river and very peaceful out there. You rarely ever heard any other noises other than the occasional flight over.
Most of the sites are not private, there’s just one private site. So if you want the privacy, make sure you request that one set back off in another field close to the creek or check its availability.

Our group loved camping on Kathy and Scott's land! Very chill, welcoming hosts. Talking with Scott and meeting Sam the dog was definitely a highlight. :)
Such a beautiful, peaceful spot by the river. Very spacious and FLAT campsites. Port-a-toilet even had a foot-pump sink and soap next to it – so nice to be able to wash your hands and not just use hand sanitizer. Amazing view of the river and barges going by in the morning. We loved it and will definitely be back again!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp
I loved this place. Kathy and her husband were so nice! The camping spots were so spacious. Kathy’s husband even let my son drive his golf cart. My son loved this experience. The land was clean the views are amazing and even had a super clean bathroom. I can’t wait to come back and camp again. 10/10 will be camping here again. Even pet friendly. Thanks for the great experience.

The perfect weekend getaway/ nature reset with my dog. Beautiful property right on the water with the best sunsets! Had the cleanest portacan I've ever seen with a hand washing station that was also a nice addition. Host communicated well, was super helpful, and very friendly. Had the whole camp to myself but felt safe as a solo female. Will definitely stay again!
