River Bay Campground & Marina

Pay showers….at a “resort”????  Never heard of such a thing.  Paid $50 per night and I have to pay for a shower 😒

We stayed here for Labor Day weekend. Only thing it’s got going is river access. It’s mostly all run down seasonal spots with a bunch of shady weird seasonal hermits. Some of the campers would be condemned in a 3rd world country. Lots of people on loud dirt bikes and atvs at all times. Loud music all the time. Not one bathroom in the whole campground worked all weekend.  Even the porta potties didn’t work.  Office lady was over worked and rude. Making a slushy for a kid is hard work!  Stay here if it’s your last resort only. We got put at a open seasonal spot that only had a holding tank for sewer.  They wouldn’t come pump the over flowing dump tank for us. I tried to keep a positive attitude about it as it was they only open spot we could get. 

It's  hillbilly heaven.  It's mostly seasonal and allows atv/ utv /golf carts.  The sign at the office says must be 16 to operate carts but we saw kids no more than 12 buzzing around. The bar / restaurant had karaoke all 3 nights of our stay till after 10:30 then the patrons all head back in their carts.  We went into town for a day trip and when we got back our firewood was gone. We stayed in one of their rental cabins. Poor cell signal, no WiFi. Won't be back.

I wish I had read all the reviews before booking this place for TWO weeks!  We like to relax and go sightseeing , but this town is nothing but a tourist trap!  This park is 95% seasonal.  There were 8 pull through sites for rv's. 3 were paved, the rest gravel/dirt.  Lots of shade trees, nice swimming pool.   There is a restaurant/bar in the campground (we never ate there). Laundry facilities were good as were the restrooms/shower facilities.   Had a gaming area with a pool table, but no community room with tables. Cell phone reception was barely one bar. NO wifi. Could not get to the internet with a mobile hot spot due to weak signal.  This park is waterfront on a moss filled inlet from the lake.  The boat launch is a public one for the whole town.  This park is on the Passport America list, but I forgot to ask, so we paid full price. Would not recommend this place .

First off we paid over $60/night, not $32-45.  Most everyone is seasonal and they’ve brought all their belongings with them. Junk is everywhere.  Huge amount of partying right up til 11:00 and they started up again at 6:00 AM.  The grass hasn’t been mowed at all.  Tons of people flying around on golf carts.  No WiFi and very little phone.  Give this place a pass. 

If you like mud, this is the place. Spent a week here in 41 ft diesel pusher + toad. 
Not 1 bit of pavement of any kind in the camping area so everything gets covered in mud no matter how much you clean. No sewer. Can’t see river from sites. Speeding golf carts. Loud music til midnight. Good electric & water. Pull through.
