The River Lodge Resort property is just under 4 acres on the river with 200 feet of river frontage. There is a dock for guest use and a shallow area with stairs to it for wading and kayak/Paddleboard launch. There are lifejackets, towels, chairs and tables in the small barn by the river for guest use. Lots of pine trees for tent camping and plenty of gravel area for RV parking. There are two private homes on the property as well (owners and guest house).

Andi was super sweet. She greeted us upon arrival and showed us where we, family of six, could set up our tent. This place was charming. The property has shade, the ground was super soft to sleep on, and the view is amazing.
The kayaks and paddle boards were a hit and I was super grateful that she had lifejackets for us to use. There is easy entry into the river and a spot where even my 2 year old could safely play in the water.
We cook dinner over the fire pit and she provided Smoreâs for dessert. Iâm not sure if the ambience would be the same if her other properties that she mentions on site had guests, we were the only ones there that night. Regardless, I would highly recommend this place for a family that wants to play by the River! We loved it.
Away from people, happy chickens, heavenly water access, was pull through, hosts have set up access to glamping amenities. Having a bathroom was luxurious. Didnât have time to use the fire pit but plan to visit again, thank you!
We were looking for a nice place to relax and let let the dog get some energy out on a road trip. This place was perfect for that! Big yard on the river with a bathroom and great firepit. Highly recommended!

We had a delightful weekend stay at the River Lodge Resort. The kayaks and SUP boards were fun. The lawn was beautiful and we enjoyed the Adirondack chairs overlooking the River. Other families camping on the property were very kind and respectful.
Unfortunately, the friends of the host (as they told us) were not following the same guidelines. One night they were out on the patio talking LOUDLY until past midnight. Their noise, the bright floodlights surrounding the property, and the rooster crowing (I counted) 37 times the next morning starting at 4am made for a poor nightâs sleep.
The next night was better because the ownerâs mother-in-law who was also staying on the property kindly turned the flood lights off for us. The rowdy bunch went to bed earlier and was quiet. But the rooster was at it again the next morning, starting at 4:00 am on the dot. It didnât help that ALL the chickens were roosting in the tree next to our campsite, so even with ear plugs and headphones, I couldnât block out the rooster.
Our campsite was otherwise lovely though, very shady, private, and close to the bathroom and water pump. LOVED having a cute, clean bathroom for once on a camping trip too!!
Overall, it was a good trip but weâll probably stick to conventional campsites from now on.
We loved staying here. The property is quiet and beautiful and the owners are so nice. My sons loved playing on the kayaks in the little cove next to the water and also in the river. They also thought it was fun to kayak out to a little island and play in the sand. The river view is incredible. We would definitely stay here again.
