Cabin was excellent and the campground clearly is a passion project for how well maintained it was. Perfect way to get away from the noise of the city. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Eminence Cottages and Camp

We stayed in the glamping tent, it was our first time ever staying in something like this. We typically either tent camp or stay in a cabin. It was a great location on the scenic byway. It was close to everything we wanted to see and do for a short weekend. The site was clean and the bed was super comfy. The night got cool so we were thankful for the heated bed. Thanks for a great stay!!

Weekend Trip to Eminence Cottages and Camp

The camp ground is in a great location for floating and draws a fairly relaxed crowd. Not much rowdiness going on, very family friendly. Unfortunately, I picked a weekend when there was a large trail ride going on down the hill, in town. We were able to hear their music from the camp ground, until pretty late. The camp ground itself was as quiet as any similar camp ground I’ve been in. Restrooms and showers were clean, water was hot, and the store had what we needed. Sandy was wonderful to talk to and work with. I’ll stay again, next time I float in Eminence.

Great service from the staff, private camp site farther from rv and other tent sites. Site is shaded which was very nice. Fire pits do not have grills at this camp (I don’t think any did at the campground) so make sure you plan accordingly.

If you are looking for a beautiful campground with choices of cabins and primitive camping I highly recommend CRC! Not only was every person nice and hospitable, but they also recommended other sights to visit that was close by. My friends and I will definitely be back.

P23 site. Nice and private, away from the other sites

Sandy was super nice and hospitable. We will definitely be staying again in the future. We stayed at the p23 site, super private. The showers and flush toilets are always a plus. The tent sites had a nice grass base. The river, natural sites, and food are close by.

Wonderful camp with lots of space and amenities. Beyond friendly and helpful staff, who provided free coffee and advice on area activities. We stayed in the glamping tent, which was an excellent value and very cute and comfortable. All we had to bring was our clothing. Super close to town, but tucked into the woods and very secluded looking. Loved the porch and corn hole area, as well!

This safari-style glamping tent was awesome! I went with my three kids on a spontaneous trip in early July (we brought an extra cot), and it turned out to be the perfect little getaway. To my surprise, the tent even had A/C, which made a huge difference in the summer heat. The tent is located right at the front of the campground—not deep in the woods—but it’s nestled against a tree line, so it still feels peaceful and close to nature. It struck a great balance between comfort and that true camping vibe. We didn’t pick the spot for the location, but it ended up being ideal. It’s just 20 minutes from Rocky Falls, an incredible waterfall and swimming hole, and there’s a great little burger shack just four minutes down the road. We cooked all our meals right over the fire using our Dutch oven, and it worked perfectly with the provided fire rack—super easy and satisfying. All in all, it was the perfect two-night escape. — Oh and the host, Sandy, was tremendously kind.

The owners of the site are very welcoming and helpful!! Everything was clean and well cared for, and it was clear they really care about maintaining a nice campgrounds. Site 34 was nice and spacious with a great view! It was a little rocky compared to others but not nearly bad enough to pose any issues. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again if in the area.
