Nice overnight spot.
Small quiet campground on the banks of the Ohio River. Hosts where very friendly. For me it was a quick one night stop. Conveniently close to the highway but far enough away that you don’t hear it. Would stay again if my travels take me that way.

Great Camping By the Ohio River
We had a great experience at Riverview Campground. Nita put us inSite 20. It has a small screen house, so we were able to use our portable Oster oven for outdoor baking, The site was hard gravel. with a slight slope that was easily overcome with our leveling boards.
We were met by Nick who lives on site. He guided us to the site.
The view of the Ohio river and watching the commercial and pleasure craft boats was wonderful. We even saw a sailboat with the mast down doing the Great Loop.
We used some firewood that was included in the nightly price.
Be sure to visit Metropolis, home to Superman and a museum with all things Super. Big John's grocery is well stocked for a small town.

Almost Glamping
This is a hidden gem. We had truck problems so decided to tent camp instead of bringing our trailer. There was a screened porch at our site which was ideal! We had a little rain and this was a perfect spot to sit it out. If this was gussied up, the host could probably charge triple!
Unobstructed view of the Ohio River. Peaceful. Deer, fox, and a camp dog.
Cons: no shower, but electric and water hookups for campers. Pit toilet was clean and not bad.
A little secluded but 30 minutes to most parks and Paducah, 1 hour to garden of the gods.

Definitely recommend!
Nita and everyone at the site were very accommodating. I truly enjoyed my stay there and felt very safe. Nita gave me a good run-through of all the amenities and was welcome to me contacting her for any needs. Everything was as advertised, quiet, and clean, so I had no extra needs. I TRULY enjoyed this site and would recommend it. My favorite part was the "welcome pup", River. She was so sweet!

Peaceful, Off the Beaten Path
Our family had a very nice time, even despite some uncooperative weather. Everything was exactly as expected, per the description. The campground overlooks the shore of the Ohio River. We spent half of our first night stargazing. A simply beautiful spot to look up, with no light pollution. There was water and power at every site, even for convenience with our tent camping. The hosts were very friendly, warm and welcoming. We couldn't stay long, but enjoyed the time we were there. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to spend some good time outdoors!

This campground is no frills, but exactly peaceful and scenic as I wanted. The view overlooking the Ohio River and listening to the water and wind made for a great night sleep. Nita went out if her way to assure I had every thing I needed.

We brought our dog and he loved it!
Tent camping here was easy and fun. Water is easy to get to, and the fire rings were convenient - ours included a "grill" grate. The view was great and the campground atmosphere was relaxed and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!

Glamping Experience at Riverview
Convenient Glamping, Serene Views
Exactly as described plus some nice unexpected touches. It was convenient to pull up and have a “home” ready for us and our pups. We especially loved the outdoor setup with fire pit and chairs, draped lighting, and convenient free firewood. Inside, we could make coffee, whip up a quick breakfast, or just chill. The AC was great when things got toasty in middle of the day.
Nita was super responsive and welcoming. We loved staying here and will be back for sure!

Camping with dogs
I loved camping with my senior dog at Riverview. It is a beautiful and peaceful location. I felt safe and very welcome. This is a place I will revisit often. Thank you for the peace I needed and an adventure Sammy will always remember.

Stayed here in our Premier 30RIPR
In town for a baseball game at Shawnee College which was 12 minutes away. View was of the Ohio River and the many barges that traversed it. Drove some country roads to get here but we had no problem pulling our 36 foot travel trailer to this spot. Very quiet location with electric hookup and great water pressure. Sewage dump was easy to use before we left the campground.
Hosts are very accommodating and super sweet. Some of the spots are sloping due to the ridiculous amount of rain we have had this spring, but they told us we could move to any open spot. They had wood and concrete blocks available to help with this.
Pit toilets were surprising clean and gave the feeling of it not being an outhouse.
Loved this campground and the feel of it. For some it may be too secluded but for us it was perfect.

There's a beautiful view of the river and the drive there through the countryside was very pretty. Nita was so helpful and brought us to our campsite and made sure we were settled before heading back. A great place to stay, highly recommended!

A nice time
I really liked camping here. It overlooked the river, it was super quiet, and they provide free firewood, since the nights were cold when we stayed. Just some things to be aware of. It is mostly and rv park. There was probably 20 rvs. But there was no noise or smell from generators or engines, I really didnt know how all that worked before I stayed here in a tent. It has pit toilets, which I got used to. If you like roughing it, but the woods are too secluded and scary, this place is perfect. The owners were nice and one of the other campers offered us chili, so the vibe is super friendly. It’s close by fernclyffe, so we did that during the day. All in all a good trip.

Nice place to stay
Riverview has a slightly unusual feel to it with several semi-permanent trailers on site. That said, the view of the Ohio River, especially at sunset, is fantastic. We had overcast weather, but on a clear night its probably a good place to see stars. Nita is a wonderful host. We had a small electrical problem, which she had fixed very quickly. She also made sure we knew of some approaching bad weather. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location!
If you’re looking for an out of the way, quiet, riverside campground, this is it! No bells and whistles, just a basic place in an amazing location right next to the Ohio River. It was just what I was looking for!

Small quiet RV park
Small quiet RV park with a beautiful view of the river! Morning had lots of rabbits running around. Owner/manager very nice. On a slope so may need additional leveling blocks. Otherwise a very peaceful place to stay. Only was there over night so could not tell you if it was nearby anything. Would stay again!

Pretty and Quiet
This was a great spot to relax for a few days. The owner met me on arrival to assist with picking a spot. There were several available. There is water and electrical hookups, however they are on opposite sides and can be difficult to reach both. I opted for a site that was under a tree and could not reach my two connected hoses to the trailer. I opted to just put water in my tank and that worked fine for me. There were about a dozen other trailers at the site, however they were all empty except for one that had a person coming and going. So it was VERY quiet. There was a bit of lacking in maintenance of property but nothing horrible. The lake is lovely bit there is no access from property. I would recommend this site.
