Sparrow's Bend is a treasure. The hosts have anticipated guests needs with a well kept camp including access to an air-conditioned bathroom and outdoor shower. We brought wood but ended up running low into our second night and they very conveniently keep a pile of firewood with a venmo QR code. We brought our paddle boards and very easily launched right out of camp, though the water is still very, very low. We were able to explore quite a ways in either direction and just had to carry our boards for little sections at a time. Really the best part of the river is right at Sparrows Bend where we spent most our time watching the sparrows and the fish.

Me and my buddy camped out in a tent on the land. For starters I’ve never seen so many deer in one place. We pulled up after dark our second night and was greeted by at least 50 deer such a beautiful sight. Adventured up the creek bare foot and enjoyed the sparrows dancing in the sky. Secure location, clean restrooms, and the outdoor showers were and amazing experience (wash yourself fast lol) the hot water doesn’t last very long when it’s a little colder outside but I’m sure in the summer weather the shower is amazing. I will be booking again in the future.

The river is so clear and beautiful my girlfriend found so many pretty rocks around. The hills in the back ground was a refreshing view to wake

This place is a hidden gem! I almost don’t want to let the secret out but the hosts are awesome and the grounds are amazing! You get more than you expect and the campsites are so huge! The pictures don’t do this place justice. Sparrow bend will be our getaway spot. Had to leave early but were sad to go. We will definitely be back! Thank you Angela!

We had a great time :) We loved that you can rent tubes and stuff which provided for something for us to do. The spot is beautiful and the water is just a quick walk away.
We had a rough go during our stay though, with our neighbors in a cabin not abiding by the quiet time of 10pm, so we did not sleep. The 2nd night of our stay, there was a LOUD fight, loaded with profanity in the middle of the night coming from the same cabin. They also left their string lights on the entire night which beamed right into our camper windows :) We were able to commiserate with our RV neighbors (haha) who were kept up as well. There were also lots of dogs barking and howling nearby. I was surprised with how small our parking area was, and how close it is to the cabin. In addition, when we arrived someone from the cabin was parked very close to our RV space, infringing on our zone quite a bit until they moved the car. This spot may be better for the cabins & less so for campers in tents and Rv's.

Sparrow Bend is a hidden gem! Angela was an amazing host and the grounds were immaculate. The shower house and toilets were well kept and easily accessible. Riverfront 3 is the closest spot to the river and an absolutely stunning view. There’s no natural shade at this spot so if you come in the heat of summer, bring your own shade! We made use of the firewood that was available, that was very convenient. The sight is pet friendly and we enjoyed being in the river with our two dogs. Will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our RV slot 2. Our son and family enjoyed a tent site near the river. The kids had a great time playing in the river. It was a relaxing atmosphere.

Our family tent camped at site 1 near the water. We have been here before and we were happy to return! We appreciate how quick the host is to respond to any questions. The kids had fun in the water. The restrooms and property were clean and well maintained. We hope to be back again soon!

It was awesome! Beautiful scenery, water and super easy atmosphere. We went to Eagles Nest for a beer and it met some of the nice locals. Overall awesome and if you are planning on fishing I saw a lot of decent bass on the right side of the river.

This spot was pretty perfect for our night camping. Came out here to celebrate my birthday. We brought my Coleman camping grill, cooked us some burgers and fries. Little bit of a walk to the restrooms. Restrooms had an outdoor sink that was perfect for washing our mess after the burgers. We had a close walk to the river. My husband enjoyed some fishing and caught a few fish in the evening and in the morning near the big rocks.

Angela was super nice, accommodating and helpful. The showers were outdoors with hot water. The bathroom/shower area is a short walk up a hill from our campsite (3). The river was super clear and beautiful!
