River Lake Camping at Horseshoe Bend

We chose this campground due to its close proximity to our house, about an hour's drive. The campground itself is dated but clean, with no water hookups at the sites; community water pumps were scattered throughout the campground. The restrooms were also dated and needed to be cleaned a little better. We were in a double site on the water, which was a plus for us! No campers right on top of us! Lots of boat traffic as this campground sits between a couple of marinas. We did have a church group set up camp in a loop close by us, where they held singing, music and preaching through loudspeakers. About 30-40 extra visitors showed up each of the 3 nights we were there. It became very annoying when they turned the sound up. We talked to the campground hosts, who were helpful, but the group disregarded the noise rule anyway. Other than that and a couple of friendly dogs whose owners let run loose, the trip was very nice! Great view, cool winds off the water, swimming and fishing, and nice area to walk! Big variety of trees and flowers, insects, animal and bird wildlife, including a bald eagle sighting! Reservations required through Recreation.gov.
