Riverside RV/Tent Site 1

A beautiful, peaceful wilderness hideaway with absolutely beautiful people as hosts. Rowdy and Milissa are the hostess with the mostest. They really make you feel welcome and appreciated. The property is stunning, hot showers that never run out of hot water and outhouses that are better than some flush toilets at other campgrounds we stayed at. The river running behind your campsite is an extra bonus we didn't expect. Absolutlely loved our time there, didn't want to leave, and Milissa and Rowdy made it even that more special. Five stars isn't enough for this location or for them - they really hit it out of the park.

Missy and Rowdy hosted my family for two nights and they couldn't say enough good things about the campground, the location, and the wonderful hosts. This place is a real treasure! Of all the campgrounds they stayed at during their two weeks traveling in Alaska, this one was their favorite.

Riverside Dry Cabin

Husband and I very much enjoyed our stay over the weekend at the cabin. Directions getting there were clear, the hosts were very polite and helpful and the views were beautiful. We are definitely planning to book again for next summer!

Great spot and great hosts. Rowdy and Missy meet us when we got there, showed us to our site and even had a special test for us. They also come to our rescue when we realized we bought whole bean coffee instead of ground. They have us a tour of their anaconda property. Tge weather wasn't the greatest, but they were, the spot was and the weekend was.

Riverside RV/Tent Site 1

What an AWSOME piece of property with great hosts. The place has a little bit of everything, from tent camping to cabins, fire pits, out houses, showers, BBQ's and a soothing river with plenty of wild life around the property. It was also nice being so close to the Aurora Hot Springs for supplies and additional entertainment. Thake you Milissa & Rowdy for having us!
