Park at the River is in a beautiful location but it’s a full blown RV park, not a campground. The big rigs are really packed in. The dry camping spots by the river are great until the neighbors run a generator all day long. There are all kinds of amenities within walking distance: stores, restaurants, mini golf, etc.

It's a nice little spot, but very few sites.  Get there early or have a backup. We ended up in an unnamed spot just up the road.

This campground is fine.  Not great, not bad, just fine.  It's pretty close to the interstate so it's convenient, but not overly scenic or unique.  Sites are about 95% gravel.  There's a pool and laundry, so if you need that you're covered, but there really isn't much more to say about it.

What a nice, quiet little spot.  Not much shade, but lots of space between campsites. Plenty of wildlife (rabbits, snakes, deer).

This is a beautiful campground.  The grounds are just about spotless.  The RV sites are pretty small with maybe 6 ft between campers.  The tent sites are quite spacious.

The road absolutely sucks.  This is not an exaggeration.  It is terrible.  Motorhomes, trailers, low clearance vehicles are probably not a great idea. 

The campground is nice, although there are no great views from the campground itself.  It is a small campground and fills up quickly, so plan to arrive as close to noon as possible.

There are two camping areas in Curtis Canyon.  The actual campground and the dispersed area.  The dispersed area is beyond the developed campground.  The sites are scattered along about 9 miles of beat up mountain "road".  It's really more suited for OHVs than cars.  The road is absolutely terrible.  Sure, you might be able to make it up in a sedan (we saw people do it), but you also might tear some parts off (we heard a good bit of that as cars passed our site).  We pulled a trailer up this road, and while we made it up and back with no mishaps, is was slow. Sloooooow. And very rough.  The dispersed sites have no water nearby, so you'll have to find a stream or drive up to 9 miles back to the developed campground to get water.  I would not recommend this road to anyone with a low clearance vehicle or a trailer over about 18 ft or a motor home.  It is a terrible road and once you start you are committed to it because there are no places to turn around until you reach the developed campground.

This area is also very crowded.  If you arrive much after 2pm you will have some trouble finding a site.  We arrived at 3 on a Tuesday and passed a lot of occupied sites before finding one available.  We saw a lot of other people arrive after us that could not find sites.  The  sites are not very level, but the views are incredible.  

I would camp here again, but I'd leave the trailer and the big tent and just come with a 2 person tent.

This is a beautiful campsite tucked into old growth Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar.  It's dark and cool.  The sites feel secluded because of the trees, but they are really pretty close to each other.  Most sites look suitable for tents, but the pull-outs for most are pretty short and not level.  Some are not even close to level and a lot of rigs would have trouble leveling.  If you have a big rig or one that is not easily leveled, this may not be a good campground for you.  The bathrooms are really clean and have flush toilets, but only one per loop, so you may need to walk to another loop when nature calls.

This park is gorgeous! It is small, but super clean.  So clean that it looks brand new (maybe it is?).  All sites have a view of the Columbia River, and the beach is swimmable.  There are trees, but none of the camp-sites are shaded. The sites are level and easy to back into.  A great option if you're in the area.

Nice, shaded little spot on the lake. Every site we saw was in the pines. Great for shade, terrible if you rely on solar. Electric hookups are available, but there are only one or two sites in the whole campground with them, so for most people this is borderline boondocking.

The area is beautiful. We heard wolves after dusk and saw elk at dawn. Fishing is good and plenty of waterfowl in the lake. Facilities are clean.

The pricing for this campground is a little steep for what you get. There are vault toilets, but no showers. There is no rv dump, you'll have to drive about 5 miles back to town to dump at an rv resort, which will charge you. The campground is very nice, but the pricing is just too high.

The facilities are clean and well maintained, and the lake is beautiful.

Right outside Badlands National Park (maybe the most underrated National Park in the country) and perched on the edge of a cliff, this place is surreal. The views are incredible. This wind is ferocious and mostly constant, but it's worth it. We were serenaded to sleep by coyotes.

The road in is a little sketchy but 4wd probably isn't required. Low clearance vehicles may have problems but with some guts you can probably make it.

Ponca is awesome. It's set at the edge of rolling wheat fields over looking the Missouri river. The woods are lush and full of deer, turkeys and other critters (also ticks…). Facilities are clean and well maintained. There are hiking trails, playgrounds, and even a water park.

This is a nice quiet little campground nestled in some farm fields. The facilities are well maintained and it was very quiet when we were there. There are plenty of birds, rabbits, deer and other critters around, but really nothing else. We used this as a stop on a longer trip and it worked beautifully for that.
