We unknowingly visited Red River when all campgrounds were closed for the season and there was no lodging anywhere due to Oktoberfest. We drove up the road hoping for a Hail Mary, and lucked out with this spot. Yes it’s close to the road and was loud, but we were happy to get a spot and be buy the BEAUTIFUL rushing river. If I had my choice next time, I’d pick a different location further from the road but we were happy with what we got!
Also, I consistently had 2 bars for AT&T
First come first serve. We showed up with a little daylight left. Found the perfect campsite that was close to the restrooms. The sites are spaced nicely where we didn’t feel crowded even though the campground was probably 90% capacity. Everything was clean, nobody bugged us, and we had our own space - especially for introducing my wife to her first time camping. Although it hailed and our tent leaked and it was cold after the rain, it was too beautiful to leave early. Had consistently 2 bars for my AT&T service as that was a requirement for this trip and my job.
