Great River Road Campground

County-managed Great River Road Campground provides RV sites with full hookups accommodating rigs up to 60 feet, plus tent camping areas on the fairgrounds edge. The facility features 30 and 50 amp electrical service, water and sewer connections, plus a bathhouse that requires staff to unlock for access. An emergency contact number handles after-hours arrivals.

Sites lack trees and offer minimal privacy according to recent visitors. Pleasant Hill's main street sits within walking distance, providing a convenience store and basic services. The campground operates April through October, with tent sites available at no charge while RV spots require payment for utilities.

Good enough for an overnight

No frills camping on the edge of the fairgrounds, there are campsites mostly for RV’s (full hook ups- 50 amp and 30 amp, and sites with sewer), and space for tents on the margins (might be why tent “sites” are free). The bathhouse was locked when I passed through, and no one was camping here, but there is an emergency number to call, so I guess if I had wanted to camp here I could have had someone come out and unlock the bathhouse for me. The town is a short walk away with a convenience store and not much else, but still cute. Don’t expect any privacy or shade here as there are no trees.
