Canopy Tent Site
Our second stay at this Hipcamp. Easy to get to from Bay Area. Easy parking. Carts provided for unloading. Communication with the host is great. They are super friendly. We have stayed at Canopy site both times we visited . Site has its own sink. It is crazy hot here in the summer, but this site has shade ALL DAY! There are lots of amenities a little bit away from our site that sound great (BBQ I think, showers) but we never used them. Added a half day raft trip with OARS rafting co. Will definitely be back. *Only word of warning is that the river moves FAST. To chill on a tube you really have to bring rope and tie it off to something. Little kiddos could definitely be pulled down the river if you are not right with them.

Hilltop Tent Site
Everyone absolutely loved staying at this camp site. I was leading a private C2G river trip of about 11 souls and the Hilltop campsite was perfect. The extra large canopy protected us from the blazing sun, having multiple picnic benches made eating and food prep a breeze, being able to do dishes and hand washing right there was so helpful, and there were plenty of flat tent spots right there. Bathroom, parking, and the river were all a convenient distance. And best of all, we were able to take out at the campsite's shore which was a blessing after 6+ hours on the water. The staff were super helpful, trash and bathrooms were always very clean, and the responsiveness from the owner when I had some questions was excellent. I'd never stayed here before so I took a real chance with the success of my river trip, but I could not be happier. Overall this was a great find and I'll definitely consider coming back to this campsite for future trips. Thanks!!

The photos you see in the ad vs what you get is very different. If you want to hang out with a ton of college aged kids partying on the river and there's no room for you at all because they are all camping along it, then have fun! The campsite is nowhere near water as it looks on the front page of the ad, they charged me $80 to change my reservation by one day within 24 hours of making the initial reservation and we ended up leaving the second night and staying at another nearby place that was much better. Overpriced and misleading for sure!!!

Curley RV Site
The site we had was a nice size, easy to get our big RV into and have a tent and car parked with plenty of space still for chairs and other things. The water was close, but there wasn't a very big beach and it got crowded during the day. The river is fast moving and although my kids and I can all swim we wore life jackets the whole time. It was fun to watch the river rafters come through during the day. The river level fluctuates a lot from morning to mid-day, which I didn't realize. It made the small shore area even smaller. The camp hosts were responsive, we had an issue with our propane fire pit and they came out and looked at it in a timely manner. It was nice and quiet at night, our sites were spaced far enough that we didn't really hear anyone after dark.

Great location with a short walk to the river. Site was big enough for our 39 foot toy hauler. Showers/bathrooms are close. Hosts are fantastic and very friendly and helpful. We went to Troublemakers for a late lunch one of the days and it was fantastic. We also took our tubes up the road a couple miles and floated back to camp. I would definitely camp here again.

We had a wonderful time visiting RockNWater Cove. The campground is beautiful, super clean and spacious. The river beach is amazing with crystal clear refreshing water. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. It was quiet and peaceful. I absolutely recommend this place. The only thing I want to point out is, if you are planning to bring your dogs be aware that by the river, near the bushes, there are a very poisonous mushrooms called The Death Angel. This mushroom it pertains to this region, it’s nothing against the camping grounds or the owners. Please keep your pups on a leach and watch the closely for their safety. Other than that, enjoy! This place is amazing!

It was so peaceful & quiet. The river was about a 7 minute walk away from our campsite and so beautiful. We have never camped at a campground with so many amenities: showers, actual bathrooms, propane fire pits for roasting marshmallows or just enjoying a campfire (wood campfires are not allowed in many areas due to the high risk of wildfires). Host was very quick to answer questions we had before we arrived!

Riverside Tent Site
A wonderful riverside site for the hot summer days. One can spend the entire afternoon chilling by the communal beach area and just watch the rafters and kayakers go by. The hosts, Kris & Paul, are very responsive to communications and proactive in coming by to make sure things are ok. Things to be aware of: * The riverside site is next to the communal beach area, so it will get noisy and lots of sound traffic depending on how respectful the other campers are. * Don't overpack for the riverside site b/c it's the furthest away from parking and there is only one pull wagon to be shared. * Depending on who you're sharing the porta potties with at riverside site, it might be clean or it might not be very clean at all. During my stay, I had to trek further to the flush toilets area.

Riverside Tent Site
We loved the River site! We had a lovely couple of days cooling off in the water and enjoying the beautiful land at Rock n Cove. It was fun having the stronger current during the afternoon for adventurous swimming, and calmer water in the warm evenings when the whitewater rafter dam stopped the flow for the day. The river is clear and the cool temperature perfectly refreshing but warm enough to stay in the water for hours. If I went back I’d bring my own camping wagon to haul gear to the site—the hand cart they had available wasn’t as convenient as a wagon, with no sides so stuff kept falling off on the way to our site, but that’s a minor detail. Kris was delightful to chat with, the river is amazing, there was a shade structure over our site, and we had a great time. 5 stars.
