River's Bend Retreat Center

We had the entire campsite to ourselves and it was lovely — a beautiful spot under the trees with a picnic table and a toilet and sink nearby. This is on the grounds of a resort and the campsite is surrounded by tent cabins but no one else was there. If there were other campers, or other folks in these cabins, it would have been too crowded for us. But it was quiet and perfect. You could see the stars and deer frequently came for a visit. The river is nearby but this summer it was extremely low. We found a swimming hole after walking for about 10 minutes but didn’t go in.

I loved tent camping here! The campground was private and not busy for a Memorial Day weekend! It was us, the squirrels and the stars all weekend long! Easy access to the river and amazing views! We will definitely be coming here again!

This site is really good for solos or couples with no kids . While booking I tried to book a spot and asked if I can bring about 11 or 12 people . 4 of them being kids.

So we decided to try and get multiple sites and when I asked to do that I was told there were no additional sites available but cabins were. So I searched in airbnb and there was tons of camps sites available on that . I was lied to and was trying to be pushed into a more expensive site. Upon arrival we set up camp the 7 of us 4 adults and 3 kids . The “Host…

And the winery filled valley itself is beautiful as well of course. We were the only campers that weekend so had lots of space to spread out and roam. Lots of easy walks to shallow river spots for play. And I had been worried about parking from the description but it was right next to the campsites for unloading. The outhouse was clean but our kids did have a tricky time using it (first time with an outhouse). And the mosquitos were prolific. It was a…

We had a great time camping! What a hidden gem, we had the whole place to ourselves. Very well maintained and camping next to the river was amazing. Not to mention, our host was super friendly. We will definitely be back

River's Bend was the perfect camping spot for me and my two small children (4 and 6), and we had a wonderful stay. We had the campground to ourselves, and enjoyed how clean the area was, and certainly enjoyed access to a hot shower. The river trail and beach was a highlight, and the boys really loved catching toads and lizards, and skipping rocks. It was quiet and peaceful, and an overall relaxing stay. Lori was super friendly, and the facility is pretty well kept. No issues with critters or anything. Our only hangup was that we couldn't have a campfire at our tent site, and had to schedul…
