I would give this place a 0 I have been camping my whole life and this place is the worst I have ever been. We could not play our music on our phone they asked us to turn it off we could not use golf cart we were told it was banned we were told to leave a day early without notice so they called the police it’s ridiculous. They have roaches here and there was no please to sit by the water I will never go back here again. Do not go here they are harassing us the whole time. I would go next door It’s clean and very nice.

Unfortunately it’s not the same place. The camp ground recently changed management and it’s not the same place. The new staff are not very helpful and know very little about guest service. There is no one patrolling at night so other guests are allowed to play music and yell all night. Yet the staff was quick to ask that you do not walk in the residential area of the park. Extremely disappointed with the new management. Beaver creek is now a mosquito filled swamp. My family and I have been going here for almost 40 years and we are seriously considering going somewhere else.

Rivernook was awesome! We camped right on the river. The staff was cool. One thing we really liked was how even after the camp store was closed. They would roll around with a golf cart every hour or so. If you needed wood or ice they would deliver it to your spot! We showed up on motorcycles with a small dog. Camp spots were a little close together, but still enough space for a few to setup.

Really happy I stumbled across this camp ground :) Nice shaded campsites, right beside the river. Friendly staff and nice amenities. I had a very peaceful/relaxing sleep last night (no loud neighbours… only the sounds of frogs and the river going by) I highly recommend this campground 👍

We are thinking of coming for our anniversary, a weekend in late September. Is that a busy time for the campground?

Mike Ramirez | Feb 17, 2019
Teagan Rivas | Feb 18, 2019

Perfect timing. Holidays and weekends can still draw a gathering but it's not as busy as summer. Weather usually is close to perfect during the day with a slight chill in the evening. Great for campfires.

Margie Rust | Mar 23, 2021

It depends if you get full hook-ups the prices vary, if you get just water and electricity, it's cheaper. You can go to the Rivernook Website and check out their prices on there. 😁😁😁😁

What kind of bait do I want to use ? And what is the best line setup?

Kerry Sparks | Feb 16, 2021
Chris Honeycutt | Feb 17, 2021

I use either Power Bait or salmon eggs in the river. Others have their favorite, but those work well for me. I prefer a ultra light setup with 4 pound leader. I use a gold or red #14 treble hook for Power Bait, and a red egg hook for Salmon eggs. My setup has the hook on bottom with a small split shot 8 to 12 inches up the line from the hook. Not everyone does things like me but that's the beauty of this country, your free to do what you think is best! At least this will give you a idea. By the way, I catch a lot of fish!
