Each site is in a wooded, shaded area with a flat area on the ground to place a single large tent. Each site has its own fire ring and a small wooden table. There is wood on the ground you may use for firewood, and ample twigs etc on the ground for kindling (do not cut any trees or branches off trees). There is a covered firewood shed with dry firewood as well. There are maintained trails with river access for kayaks. There is a porta potty near the campsites with a handwashing station, that is open year round. There is a single bathroom with flush toilet and sink with running water that is a short walk away (open May-Oct depending on weather) There is an outdoor on-demand hot-water shower at bathroom, with a water hose available as well. On-demand hot water heaters provide hotter water at a low water pressure, and cooler water at full blast. Campsites are a short walk (100-200 feet) away from parking area (you cannot drive directly to or park at your campsite). Foster Park is a short bike ride away where you will find greenway trails that run throughout Fort Wayne (ride your bike to downtown!!) Our property backs up to the St Mary's River, bring you kayaks and fishing poles! (We reserve the right to assign you to a different (but equally beautiful) campsite in the case of property maintennance concerns, recent rain or weather conditions etc). All guests must be part of a registered group! Link to Trails Maps fwtrails.org Need to rent a bike or kayak: fwoutfitters.com/#

We love River Camp
We absolutely LOVE River Camp. Site are well placed and semi-private with trees separating sites. Plenty of room to hike around and explore. Marla is very responsive and accommodating to her campers. The camp is kid and dog friendly BUT also space for adults who just want to get away and enjoy alone time.

Site six
Marla’s land was perfectly set up for camping! Site six is perfect if you camp with pups! We were pretty secluded and the river was right behind us! You have to walk a little way to the site so be prepared when setting up and taking down! But it was well worth it! I would definitely camp here again!

Marla’s place was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. It’s just a short drive from downtown and very easy to locate. The campsites were much more spacious than I expected from the photos, giving us plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature. A lovely trail leads directly to the scenic St. Marys River, which was a pleasant surprise. There were also fun activities like badminton and basketball to keep us entertained, and we appreciated having access to a TV and electricity. Firewood was abundant, so we had no trouble staying cozy by the fire. At night, it was wonderfully quiet, allowing us to fully unwind. If you need supplies, Walmart and Kroger are just minutes away. The restroom and shower facilities were impressively clean and well-maintained, making the stay even more comfortable. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to disconnect while still having conveniences close by. I would love to come back again and highly recommend it!
