Best RV Park with campsites next to a river or creek.

up along the Gray River, out of Alpine, WY, there are some NF campgrounds along the river and it's supposed to be a very good fishing river. But we only found one that we could park our rig at.

River Riders in Harper's Ferry WV has about ten campsites right on the Potomac. It's one of the prettiest sites I've ever camped at but it has a ten foot limit to rigs because there is a zip line right above it. We have a PUP so we are good.

I checked Fairview State Park in Madisonville, LA but it looks like the sites aren't directly on the Tchefuncte. You're close enough that it is worth checking out.

Henrys Lake SP in Island Park, Idaho (next to a lake where fishing is allowed); Riverside (NFS) CG in Palisades, Idaho; Toad Suck CG in Arkansas (COE?); several NFS CGs near Stanley, Idaho (along the Salmon River) and at Redfish and Stanley Lakes (same general area), on lakes with fishing.

Just in my neck of the woods in northern Colorado, there are several meet your criteria.

In Estes Park CO, both Paradise on the River and Spruce Lake RV Park have sites that are right along the river at their respective locations.

In the Cache la Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins, there are at least 6 USFS campgrounds that are right on the river.

In Red Feather Lakes CO, there are 2 USFS campgrounds that are right on their respective lake, Dowdy Lake and West Lake.

That's just right off the top of my head and in my immediate area, within a hour to 90 minute drive from where I live. There are lots of others in Colorado that would work as well.

Here is my best sites.

Golden Hill SP on Lake Ontario, NY

Four Mile Creek SP Lake Ontario, NY

You and 100 million other campers want sites like that too.

In several years of camper we were fortunate to get a lake side campsite (in March 2016) at McCormick Creek State Park in South Carolina. Now THAT was fantastic as we were only 1 of 4 or 5 campers there, and I think 2 of them were camp hosts! This was by far one of the nicest camp sites we've ever had!
