A diamond in the rough - Worth it!
What a great spot! The host Mark put so much thought into making the spot by the river extra special. Mark provided a picnic table, a hammock by the river, yard games & a fire pit full of wood ready to be lit. We have a 2024 class A 33’ motor home and we navigated from the driveway, over grass down to the river with no issue. The house on the property is humble, but don’t let that deter you. The RV spot is right on the river with lots of privacy and great views. Mark’s dog was such a sweetheart and played with our dog off leash for a good 45 minutes. In the morning as we were packing up to leave I saw 2 men fly fishing up river. It looked like a perfect spot to fish. Best of luck Mark!

Beautiful getaway!
Absolutely beautiful view! Wonderful host! We arrived in the dark much later than planned and our host had a fire already going for us! We could’ve stayed for weeks if we didn’t have work! There’s plenty of room to choose a spot, the river is right there. River access was less than 100 steps away! The rocky beach had a hammock, table and a rock fire pit should you choose. There is a great bike trail that runs parallel to the river and a trail head is right at the corner store. The host’s dog, Ghost, is a super sweet energetic puppy who is well socialized.
We absolutely recommend this spot!

Nice campsite with great view
Mark was very kind and made sure the camp site was kempt, clean, and had other amenities available at the site. A restroom was available as well as games, fire pit, wood, and many more I didn't expect to have. Great overall experience.

Sweet spot on the river
If you need a spot in this area, this place fits the bill! It’s very private, right on the river, and there is space to spread out. Mark is super friendly and offered lawn games and firewood. We enjoyed a campfire under the stars, and a ride on the Jackson River Trail. Did not find much to see in Covington, and did not explore other towns nearby, as we were headed home.
