Twin Bridges Canoe Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Paddling the North Fork River is the main draw at Twin Bridges Canoe Campground, where tent sites sit directly along the water's edge with basic tables and fire rings. Campers can float in from upstream, access their site by water to drop gear, then return their rental watercraft, making the campground a functional base for multi-hour float trips. Wildlife along the river includes cranes, turtles, ducks, and fish. North Fork River Ranch and North Fork are nearby alternatives for paddlers who want to compare access points in the area.

The campground runs year-round and accommodates tents, RVs up to 40 feet, and boat-in arrivals. Tent sites are shady and grassy with level ground close to the river. RV sites are a different story: reviewers note little shade, clay-heavy ground, and erosion around newer pads that turns to mud after rain. On-site amenities include showers that multiple visitors describe as clean and private, plus a bar and grill with live music on weekends. The grounds also have cornhole, basketball, foosball, and a pool table.

Cell service is limited, though reviewers report just enough signal to pull up the campground's website in a pinch. The campground map is reportedly buried several layers deep on the reservation page, so downloading it before arrival is worth doing. Rates run $11 to $220 per night depending on site type. Twin Bridges works best for paddlers and families who want river access paired with on-site dining and recreational extras.

Many visitors highlighted the excellent restaurant, bar, and recreation facilities. Tent sites near the river earned praise, though RV sites lack shade and can become muddy. The campground offers good amenities but may need operational improvements.

Early season, limited services

Tent camped here with a group of private boat paddlers from all over the country. Campground operations had not really started for the season. I arrived after dark and could not find the tent campsites. Nearly drove into deep mud on gravel road past RV sites. Fortunately had just enough cell signal to access their website. Found a campground map three layers deep on reservation page and located my group. 

Tent sites were well-located along the river with basic tables and fire rings. I never found the store to be open so paid camping fee at bar and cafe at entrance. Great breakfast. $25/night for tents.  Grass had not been mowed and was deep in tent area. RV sites appear to be a work in progress with much erosion around the new pads and access road. What may have been a shower house had key code locks but there was never anyone to ask. Bathrooms near the entrance lacked tp in some stalls. All one afternoon and evening a group of kids with gas weed trimmers  noisely worked on a slope adjacent to the RV area. 

This campground should improve over time a the management appears to be developing the grounds.

Great floating, campsites need work

PROS- First the floating was excellent on the northfolk River. Great wildlife along the way including cranes, turtles, ducks, fish. Fantastic on site restaurant with bar and grill that has Saturday karaoke and Friday live bands. The best showers with privacy and cleanliness. Has extras on site like cornhole, basketball, Foosball, and a pool table. The campsites were large. The tent sites were shady and grassy with even ground and near the river. CONS- The RV sites have zero shade and very little grass so it's mostly clay mud on the ground, which would have been fine but since it rained it made a giant mud soup mess. The cost is higher than the recreation government sites online for camping.

Loved the shaded camps, clean bathrooms, and the fact we could float right up to our campsite!

My best friend and I can't hear over Memorial weekend. We were thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. Everyone in the store was very kind and we loved the bar and grill with live music. We rented a double kayak for only $44 floating from Hebron down to Twin Bridges. It was a nice flow and on our way down the river, we were able to access our campsite right off the water to drop off supplies before returning our kayak. We will be back!
