Camping at River Road Park near Piedmont

Public campground · Piedmont · 103 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

River Road Park sits on the banks of the Black River just below Clearwater Lake's dam, where low bluffs, indented bays and small coves give the shoreline a varied, intimate character. In spring the campground's margins fill with redbud, hawthorn, dogwood and wild plum, and bald eagles are a familiar presence year-round, with nests reported near the lake.

How far ahead to book River Road Park

For May weekends, book about 140 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 63 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (21,296 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
