Camp Nelson RV Park

This campground is in a beautiful setting. The sites seem adequately sized, but very close together. Some sites share a power pedestal which contains a 30 amp and a 50 amp connection. My neighbor arrived before me sot the 30 amp connection was in use, I needed a 50 amp to 30 amp dogbone to connect. So if you are 30 amp in one of these sites, ensure you have a dogbone. If not, they are for sale in the camp store. Site 21 appears to be the only site on a concrete pad and sits right on the river bank. I think it is probably the best site in the park. Some good hiking nearby and Camp Nelson National Memorial is not to be missed. As mentioned before, two bathhouses, a pool, camp store and very nice staff. The laundry room has 10 brand new all in one washer/dryers. If you try to dry camp, be aware during the fall/winter there is not alot of sunlight here due to the tall palisades on the south side. Lots of birds to watch, particularly the turkey and black vultures cruising the cliffs. If you are sensitive to noise, you may be bothered by the highway bridge just east of the park. You can hear the vehicles cross, but it wasn't a problem for us.

This was probably a hopping area in years past. Now it just looks dated and tired. Mostly occupied with long-term trailers many of which are quite run down which gives it a bit of junky feel. Never felt unsafe though, everyone seemed nice.

I had good Starlink connection here, though with some sites the trees would be a problem.

If it was my only option, I would stay here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
