They have live music and food every weekend, sometimes it can get a little loud so if quiet camping is what you prefer, some sites may not be for you. The float trips on the black river are amazing! It's a good place to go with a large group.

A good time for adults!

I totally recommend this place ! It’s really nice place and the owners were really nice. We had a whole entire camp area to ourselves ! It’s right on the river. They have a little store, running water, decent bathrooms with hot showers and a playground. It’s an affordable place and family/pet friendly and the have horse stables there for your use if needed.

Really nice campground on the black river

Nice float on the Black River. Cool water and beach to sit and watch the floaters go by in as well! Group sites and were pretty large and mostly shady. This place is lit up fast after dark! Large stage with live music becomes a big party. In my younger days this was a blast! Now I opt for a site as far away from the stage as possible and do not bring my children here lol. Nice facilities, no real complaints. I bet weekdays are a lot more serene.

Nice float, but evening can be party central 

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and worked with us when we had multiple changes to our reservation. Their Saturday night dinner was on point and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to save yourself the planning, cooler space, and cleanup. The float was on clear water and had plenty of gravel bars to enjoy. Only draw backs were some of the ruts in the road and spotty electric at the sites (which they did reimburse us for). I've been to fancier float/camping outfitters, but this was perfect for a fun weekend getaway. The live music was good and quiet hours were respected (which was appreciated after a long day of day drinking).

Hit all the party float essentials

Nice beach, chill atmosphere, great staff. Live music on the weekends. Hope to see it open again in 2022 with the only thing changed being improvement to the shower house.

Great place to stay. Hope they keep it that way when it reopens. 

Great campsites, elec available no dump and community water only. Black river access on site. Firewood included with site rental. Ice is only $2.50. No cell service
