KL Ranch Camp on the River

This spot was perfect! It was right across the road from the check in booth and right on the river! A perfect family spot, we became friends with our neighbors who were there, in the same spot, for the last 8 years. Our girls made quick friends with the other kids at the campgrounds.

This spot was perfectly situated on what was a low river up river. This had to be the most populated, yet well behaved, portions of the river.
Already making plans for next year!

Every time we drove by this campground we told ourselves we needed to stay here. Have stayed at some other places on River Rd. and they were fine but K & L matched us & what we look for when camping. Had a huge site so neighbors were not right on top of us & we also liked how the river was right in front of us vs. down below a hill from our campsite-like we had at other campgrounds. Having a 3 year old grandson visit made this ideal as we felt safer without the hill & the water wasn't too deep for him. He liked being free & able to move about on his own in the water. We also liked just sitting on the river's edge enjoying our morning coffee or early evening adult beverages. So peaceful. I believe this is also the campground that frowns upon cussing or bad language, which we appreciated. The last campground up the road would benefit with these rules. We were extremely concerned about neighbors language in front of our children & grandchildren. The f word was used so much & so loudly that we considered moving sites.

The staff at K & L was excellent, both on the phone when booking this site, as well as helping us find availability for next year. Never once did they lose patience or get irritated with all of our questions, etc. Just an excellent campground.

Location is great, but if they invested in the sites I’d be willing to pay more. 77 is so far from level and pretty beat up. 79 or 80 would be a better site in that it’s flatter and still has shade. Other sites are either full sun or not as advertised in the online photos. The campsites are also very rocky and dusty, and a level pad would be a great addition. It’s also very tight to navigate and the dump station isn’t accessible if you’re in a spot lower than 80. Staff is friendly and helpful. The location on the river is excellent. It’s also very cramped and noisy on the weekends with loud music (said you couldn’t have it but they don’t enforce it).

It’s officially our tradition to go there for camping since 2000 and we loves it there, camp by the river because it’s so awesome and beautiful. It also help us to ease our mind from all those troubles or stress in the big city. I do not regret it at all!
