With sites priced at $31-$65 per night and reservations available, River Valley Campground provides electric and water hookups alongside standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. The drive-in access involves rough roads, so campers should prepare for potentially challenging conditions when arriving. Sites feature both forested and open terrain near river and lake areas, with picnic tables and campfire rings at each spot.
The campground welcomes pets and offers full RV accommodations with electrical and water connections. Campers can explore camping spots near Gladwin for additional options in the area, though this location works well for those wanting hookup convenience despite the access road conditions.
