I absolutely loved this camper! Private location, very well stocked, and the little deck with the comfy furniture was perfect first thing in the morning. I have watched deer while sipping coffee, lazed on the couch under the umbrella enjoying a nice breeze, and cooled my feet in the river in the late morning. It was the relaxation I needed with just the right amount of space.
Alright TLDR is over so here is the breakdown.
Pros:
~VERY WELL STOCKED for the most part (dishes, tea pots, towels, washcloths, even a outside sink for room to wash dishes, ect.)
~ gas stove (just remember to turn it on)
~ fantastic distance from the river
~ beautiful views (especially nighttime for stargazing)
~ Comfy furniture! Legit wanted to nap outside in good breeze.
~ Privacy! I could only see one cabin unless I went to the main camp grounds.
~ Public area's are also well stocked and taken care of
Cons:
~Only one pot to cook on. There was a griddle as well but I didn't test it. Absolutely would have grilled outside if there wasn't a burn ban.
~ The path to the restrooms wasn't well lit but you're out in nature get a headlamp.
~ One of the showers uses the hooked latch that kept slipping if the door was bumped. There was twine to help hold it in place but please someone get that fixed with a more secure latch.

We stayed at the Forest Site 2. It was very secluded and the perfect size for two tents. We really loved how much shade there was from the trees, yet we could still see the stars at night. It was an easy walk down to the river, which had clear, refreshing water. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well-kept, and the sink area nearby made it easy to wash up or fill water bottles. Everyone we met was very nice.

Weekend Trip to Sparrow Bend River Retreat
We had such a lovely stay! The campsite had everything we needed — cookware, fridge, clean showers and bathrooms, and beautiful views all around. We arrived late at night during a storm, so a small light or sign would’ve made finding our way easier, and a wagon for our gear was not available as mentioned. Not taking any points off though — it’s a great, family and dog-friendly spot, and we can’t wait to come back for a longer stay with our dog next time!

First time ever camping, we loved it! Very clean restrooms and showers. The lake felt so amazing. We would hear a donkey very often in the middle of the night/early morning but was not a big a deal. We will be coming back again!

The camp sites were spaced out enough and private. Although it was a short walk to the bathroom and showers the 2 stalls were super clean with a tidy sink area with running water. The Medina river was crystal clear and the land kept very clean.

The views were amazing, the site was nice and clear. There was another camp next to us but they weren't too loud, a little closer than expected but still had a nice time 😊

We all loved this place. Services were great and location couldn’t be any better! The riverbed was so beautiful and calm. Great experience for my city kids to be in touch with nature, throwing rocks and playing with sticks literally.

Beautiful river side camping. Host were very quick to respond to a few hiccups we had and resolved the issues effectively. Loved hearing the wind chimes on the cliff side while kayaking in the early morning. Clean facilities and a hot shower! I super enjoyed the shower! Our campsite was clean and very large private area at camp #4.
The water was clear and crisp. Not super deep but had spots that were deeper.
I’m definitely going to camp here again!

2 nights at Sparrow Bend River Retreat
We loved staying at the Scamp’s at Sparrow Bend River. Everything went smoothly, and whenever we reached out, Angela was always there to help. The best part was the beauty of the landscape surrounding the property. Highly recommended!
