Fun Camping

Our stay at the retreat on Styx River was very enjoyable. The grounds are very beautiful and there are many places that you can walk around the campground. The river bank is gorgeous and we even spent a dinner out next to the river. The management was very kind and helpful when we required it. Now the areas I think future campers need to be made aware of. The campground website currently (September 4, 2021) that all electric campsites are 50amp which they are not, if you need a 50amp site you will have to call the office to ensure you can secure one, as we just booked online and our spot was a 30amp, while we were not prepared they had an adapter to give us so we were able to plug in. Next, our camper is 35 feet travel trailer, and it was quiet tight getting into our spot, and it will be for most current spots, we would not have been able to park where we were had there been a camper next to us. Lastly, make sure you bring leveling blocks, some of the sites are fairly level while other are not. Our site sloped down towards the river and we needed extra blocks to place under our tires and stabilizers. The only two negatives I ran into was their tubing price to go down the river and be picked up was $30 a person, which was pretty steep price to pay especially for 4 adults. And their dump station was terribly unlevel and we had many issues dumping our tanks. Overall, the Retreat was wonderful and clean. The grounds are fairly well kept and great for kids. I know they plan to expand, we plan to go back once more 50amp outlets are available.
