Don't miss Bridgeview Park at Rathbun Lake

Rathbun Lake has a lot of camping options. What I like about Bridgeview is the number of campsites with lake views. The bridge isn't much to see so don't be fooled by the name.

The campground is clean with modern amenities. There is plenty of sites for tents and RV's. This is a great place to relax at Rathbun Lake.
