A practical guide to the drive‑up, riverside campsite with communal amenities, on-site adventures and what to pack for a restorative stay.
Riverside Solitude at Wooded Campsite #6 — Drive Right Up, Unplug, Paddle Out.
Wooded Campsite #6 sits across the road from River Island Adventures’ Outpost on the river, offering spacious, wooded sites just steps from the water. Each site is outfitted with a picnic table, fire ring and trash can, and the Outpost supplies communal cooking areas, fridge space and a handful of yard games — the essentials for an uncomplicated, social camping base before a paddle or pontoon trip.

Communal Kitchen and Daytime Conveniences
The Outpost provides a communal fridge, microwave, sinks, coffee maker and ice machine, plus an outdoor cooking area with propane grills and picnic tables — a low‑fuss hub for meals and gear organization between river outings.

What a Stay Feels Like
The stay is straightforward: arrive at the Outpost, park and walk across to your woods‑backed site, set up at a drive‑up pitch fitted with a table and fire ring, and use the shared cooking and refrigeration facilities as needed. Days can be spent launching a rented kayak or joining a guided tour, and evenings are for a riverside fire and community games.
