Chestnut Camp

Pilar has a few sites set up right next to the dam in Grafton. It was pretty quiet except for the water coming through the dam, but that was kind of peaceful! The sites are maintained and spacious. The water and toilet are just a short walk away.

Sycamore Camp

Great place for a family to relax and right by the water! Definitely recommend bringing kayaks and floats for the river!

Willow Camp

Perfect access to water. Quiet camp. Really enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion would be a shower area and better access to the spot since it's up a steep hill!

Gem Location

This is a fantastic spot to stay at: right next to the river, the river is stocked with trout (when I was there), views of the dam, at the end of a quiet street with no traffic. Looking around the area, you’d be hard pressed to find a better area. I was driving Congress through and didn’t have my rods, but now that I know of this spot, I’ll be back! They are just getting started (at time of review) and I have the utmost confidence that this spot will only get better. The host was accommodating, gracious, and responsive. Thanks everyone!
