ScoutWe selected "best available" site and showed up two hours later to a disgusting mess. There was a pile of garbage in our site. There was a busy railroad track right next the the site not shown in the campground map. They offered other sites but they were not any better.

LegendHas river access. Two parking lots Picnic area And make sure you go to the back of the field and take the suspension bridge trail
TravelerI biked into the park and was assisted by the campground host. The swimming area was closed for the season but there was much to see and explore. There was no way to pay in person at the campground. The cost was $27 per night but there was a hefty $10 processing fee. A bit high.
ScoutGreat campground with waterfront and well treed sites. We’re hammockers and found plenty of suitable trees. Firewood was available via vending machine. $6.50 bought a wheelbarrow load of wood. Caretaker was friendly. Only downside was you could hear noise from distant highway and from neighboring private properties but it quieted down during quiet hours. We hiked a section of the Ice Age Trail during our visit. We recommend the campground and the trail.
TravelerI really like this campground, I feel safe as a single person camping with my pups here. The owners are super friendly and the price is very reasonable. There are mostly seasonal here which helps cut back the noise and the crowds.
GuideThe East Fork part of the campground is a beautiful area along the river. The sites are nicely spaced and there are pit toilets located throughout. The animals came alive at night and we could hear coyote packs howling to each other, owls hunting, and the crickets and frogs are still going. September makes for hot days and pretty cold nights, but there was good tree cover, that still allowed to see the ALL the stars. There was plenty of room for the 2 allowed cars. Site 124 is located at the end of a loop with dumpsters nearby, that were empty and clean. A very nice place to spend a couple nights!
TravelerNeeded last minute RV space near I-94, and this was more than perfect - it is right off I-94, but placement and trees combined remove the traffic noise. It’s perfect for a family, plenty for kids to do

Only seven dollars a night," notes one reviewer. Another states it's "just a toilet pit, and non-potable hand pump and six or so sites with picnic tables. 7$ a night, pay for six get 7th free."
Natural setting without crowds: Many campers appreciate the relative seclusion of Augusta area campgrounds. "Harstad is get away camping," writes one reviewer about Harstad Park. Similarly, Rock Dam Park provides "a maze of a campsite, with a lake near by" according to another camper.
Limited services at some locations: Several campgrounds offer rustic experiences with minimal amenities. "It is a rustic campground 27 sites, pump for water, pit toilets," describes one camper at Harstad Park. Be prepared to bring necessary supplies if choosing these locations.
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from May through October, with limited winter access. "We pulled in on a Sunday night and all but had the place to ourselves," notes a late-season visitor to Chapman Park Campground.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be sparse in this rural area. As one Rock Dam camper notes: "No cell service, no towns nearby. But two local bars that were fairly close." Plan accordingly by downloading maps and information before arrival.
Kid-friendly water access: Eagle Ridge Campground connects to water recreation opportunities that families appreciate.

Satellite connectivity considerations: For remote workers, Eagle Ridge Campground offers an advantage. "This campground has a large grassy area - that gives a 100% clear obstruction for Starlink. We work full time, so this was important for us. HOWEVER, the other half of the campground is within a super treed area, so we got to pick!"
