Pretty but noisy

The campsite has a lot of great spots. It's really close to the water and a beautiful area. There is a lot of traffic that comes through from people going to the lake. It was very noisy from loud vehicles and not very relaxing. We packed up and left after one night.

Great Rural Campground

This campground is located at the southern side of Clearwater lake on the Black River. We were in spot R1 which apparently stands for remote. Electric was available and water was within 50 ft or so. Vault style toilet house a short walk away. R spots were spaced out very well. The other side of the campground was all back in spots which some have electric / water available. Very nice and quiet area with essentials nearby. Would go again.

Nice quiet campground

River Road is a quiet, safe little campground with amenities, fishing, boating, kayaking, easily accessible. Showers, bathrooms, electric and water hookup, dump station. A friendly atmosphere with quick, over the hill, access to Clearwater Lake too. Shaded lots are plenty but get snatched up. Reservations (4 days in advance) and first come for available spots. Cell reception is spotty but there. TV reception won't happen. Fire pits, with grill grates and concrete tables. Fish the spillway or the down river for catfish, perch and bass. Kayak from the campground down to Kempers Corner and put out and drive back. Head over the hill to Clearwater Lake to swim and fish too. Good campground!
