Our back in sights are designed to back in on an angle to allow backing in from "drivers side." All of our sites are left of the numbered poles, also there are arrows on the pole for clarification. the pull thru's are also angled to allow ease of pulling in. the power pedestals are designed to be in the rear left corner of RV. If you have any concerns as to direction of approach for you chosen site, please ask host. Thank you and enjoy your stay.

Was not able to stay. Called to see if we could use another time, was told he was full and would lose money. I looked up and saw there was 5 sites still available. Probably won't book again hate being lied too.

Campground Response

Charletta, The site accommodations go by much more than just openings, it goes by the length of your trailer or RV, the campers needs etc. There is no reason for me to lie to you nor you to call me a liar. Sorry you did not get a chance to experience our campground. Next time you decide to make reservations and cancel hopefully you do it within the required time frame to get a refund. We are sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

Good sites and the manager/owner was very helpful with everything. My negatives are: No sewer at site (I missed that if it was in the description) and VERY close to the road (a LOT of road noise). The road noise may be less if you're closer to the river (I was right at the road in Site 2). Bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. Be patient when checking out as there can be a line for the dump station.

This was our first time camping at Northern Sites and we already booked a second trip! The owners and other caretakers were very friendly. The sites are spacious and are nestled right next to the cedar river. We rented kayaks and enjoyed a fun trip down the river. Highly recommend!

It means the world to us that you felt welcomed by our team and enjoyed the beauty of the Cedar River. Weโ€™re delighted that the spacious sites and kayak adventure added to your stay. We canโ€™t wait to welcome you back for more memories and fun on the river! Thank you, ~CARRIE HUCKINS~

We enjoyed our stay! It is a very picturesque riverside campground. The owners were very flexible and helpful with our group camping arrangements. Showers were very clean. We enjoyed being able to rent tubes, even though we mostly used them in the beach areas because the length of a full tube trip would be too long for our young kids. Cautionary tale~ if you stay on the upper lots, just know there is a significant drop-off at the edge of those camo sites. If you camp with young children, you would need to be cautious. We thought a pretty split rail fence would be helpful and not detract from the beauty.

Campground Response

Thank you so much for your kind words! Weโ€™re thrilled you had a great time at our riverside campground and found our services accommodating. Itโ€™s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the clean showers and tube rentals. We appreciate your feedback regarding the scenic sites overlooking the River along the upper ridge and we hope to have you back for another enjoyable stay, perhaps on the lower level closer to the River and Beaches. Thank you ~CARRIE HUCKINS~
