Steamboat Park Campground

Quiet and relaxing. Clean and well monitored. Sites right on the river. Riverboat cruises available docking at campground office. We loved it! Will definitely take the 6 hour trip back to stay again!

I’m not going to knock any stars off, because there is nothing actually wrong with the campground. But, I just feel it doesn’t work for our family.

It’s extremely clean, very spacious sites, the river view is beautiful and the pool looks great.

It isn’t my favorite for campgrounds we’ve been to because it isn’t the most toddler/young child friendly as we are used to. We have a child with a prosthetic leg, so our situation is unique, and it can determine how much we like a place. The playground structure is not very friendly for kids with special needs or very young children. It’s wooden with a ladder to access the upper levels, it was hard for our 2 and 4 year old to use it easily. They also don’t have any toddler swings, just regular ones set a little too high for young children. It’s also sand rather than wood chips, so it made it difficult for our daughter to walk in in her prosthetic. Only a portion of the roads were paved as well and the rest was gravel, so my little ones were disappointed that they couldn’t ride their scooters and balance bikes right by our campsite.

Again, there is nothing wrong with this campground, it’s beautiful and comfortable. But it may not be ideal for those with little kids in that in between age or young ones with special needs. We tend to be willing to pay more for private campgrounds that suit our needs, and this one just doesn’t quite hit the mark for us. They also definitely seem to like/cater more to the big fancy rigs, not so much the smaller campers. And they don’t allow tents.

Friendly helpful staff
