Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (91 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Friendly check in. It appears nearly all sites are VERY unlevel. Power pedestal is so close to road it limited how deeply into the site we could park. Love the location and trees. Bathrooms are astonishingly ancient with much decay. ”

Scott L 4 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“My family and I had a great time at the campground! Very clean spot and well kept! Definitely will be back!”

Don H 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Camp Richardson was my first adult RV experience and it was perfect for what I needed. It was clean, in a woodsy setting (I loved the tall pines), The Grove on site, and a nice general store, and it was close to town. I loved it. ”
