too many, too close.

Good Sam recommends this campground?

Location on river/bay is good (hence the two stars).

Bathhouses are in disrepair (lost a star).

River is spilling onto some sites (lost a star).

Too many Mobile homes and campers on top of each other, most old (lost a star).

I wish I had loved it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a detailed map of Monroe Bay Campground?

A detailed map of Monroe Bay Marina and Campground is not readily available through common camping resources. For the most accurate and up-to-date site map showing campsite layouts, waterfront locations, and facility placements, contact the campground office directly. A map would be particularly helpful for this location to identify which sites may be prone to flooding during high water and which offer the best bay views. The campground management should be able to provide information about site locations relative to bathhouses and other amenities.

What do reviews say about Monroe Bay Campground?

Monroe Bay Campground receives mixed feedback. Its location on the river/bay is highlighted as a positive feature. However, the campground faces several challenges including bathhouses that need repair, potential flooding on some sites during high water periods, and densely packed camping areas. The presence of many permanent mobile homes creates a different atmosphere than a traditional campground. Overall, the experience may not meet expectations for campers seeking well-maintained facilities or spacious sites, though the waterfront location remains its strongest selling point.

What amenities and facilities are available at Monroe Bay Campground?

Monroe Bay Marina and Campground offers waterfront access to the river/bay as its primary attraction. The campground features basic facilities including bathhouses, though these are noted to be in need of maintenance. The property includes both camping sites and mobile homes. Some campsites are located quite close together, creating a dense camping environment. During periods of high water, some sites may experience flooding from the river. For specific amenities like electric hookups, water, or dump stations, it's best to contact the campground directly before your visit.

Can I see photos of Monroe Bay Campground before booking?

Photos of Monroe Bay Marina and Campground may be available through their official website or social media pages. Given the mixed conditions reported at the campground, viewing recent photos before booking is highly recommended to set appropriate expectations, especially regarding site spacing, proximity to water, and facility conditions. Contact the campground office directly to request current photos if you cannot find them online. This visual preview will help you determine if the waterfront setting outweighs the reported maintenance issues for your specific camping preferences.
