Rivers Bend Campground

Rivers Bend Campground sits on the edge of Rock Valley, where municipal management keeps this seasonal operation running from May through October. Most sites provide lakefront positioning, with campers accessing two fishing ponds and one designated swimming area.

The campground layout separates tent sites from RV spots, placing walk-in tent areas directly on the water away from hookup sites. RV campers find full amenities including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for those needing it. Site spacing accommodates larger rigs, though the relatively young tree plantings provide limited shade coverage. A walking and biking trail connects different areas of the property.

Water activities drive much of the appeal here. Kaitlin B. notes "decent size spots with lakefront views at just about all of them" along with "a swimming hole with a little beach." Fishing opportunities span two separate ponds, while families appreciate the designated swimming area. The property includes basic facilities like restrooms, showers, and drinking water, with WiFi available for those needing connectivity.

Rock Valley provides nearby services about a mile away, with the small town offering essentials for campers. Reservations help secure preferred sites, particularly those with water frontage. The campground welcomes pets and provides drive-in access to most sites, making it accessible for various camping setups during the warmer months.

Very nice campground

Decent size spots with lakefront views at just about all of them. There is a swimming hole with a little beach and walking/bike trail. They have tent sites that you have to walk to but they are right on the water away from all of the RV sites. The town of Rock Valley is small but very quaint. I'd reccomend the coffee shop Rooted. Will definitely be coming back here.

Well maintained RV park

Only 4 stars due to neighbors leaving their dog outside barking constantly until they returned. Against park rules so maybe a one off. Water front on 80% of spots. Two fishing ponds & one swimming.
