THE LANDSCAPE

Riverside Setting

Site #19 is distinguished by its riverside location — a primary draw for campers wanting a water-side pitch within a family-oriented campground.

THE CAMP LIFE

Primitive, Low-Impact Camping

This is a primitive campground: sites have no electricity or water, no generators or extension cords are allowed, and tents are limited in number and size to keep sites compact and low-impact.

THE RULES

Clear Limits and Deposit Policy

Bookings are age-restricted and governed by strict occupancy, vehicle and conduct rules; a small cash deposit is collected at check-in to cover site condition on departure.

What the day feels like

What an Overnight at Site #19 Feels Like

A stay at Camp Site #19 is direct and unadorned: a few hours to set a tent beside the river, a shoreline for quiet evenings, and a campground where family-friendly conduct and Leave No Trace principles are enforced to preserve the setting for everyone.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this site suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Families with childrenWell suited: the base rate includes up to 2 adults and 3 children (ages 3–17), and the campground is family-friendly with conduct rules to limit rowdiness.
2
Small groups or couplesA good match for small groups and couples who fit within the site’s tent and occupancy limits (1–2 average tents; total maximum of 8 people per site).
3
Large groups or event plannersNot ideal: the site enforces strict occupant limits (max 8 people) and vehicle restrictions, with additional fees for extra guests.
4
Pet ownersPossible if responsible: dogs are allowed but must be leashed, supervised, and kept quiet; violations can forfeit camping privileges and deposits.
