Camping Reservations at River Island

River Island offers 37 campsites. Eight beachfront campsites on the grass overlooking Colorado River with 20-amp service and water. These sites are good for tents and small campers up to 24 feet. The other 29 sites are ideal for RV camping (up to 65 feet deep) with 50, 30, and 20-amp service, all with water. Ten are back-in sites and 19 are pull-throughs. Tents are also allowed in these sites. There are no fire rings at the campsites, but each has a grill/charcoal BBQ and picnic table.

Note: From April 1 through Sept. 30, there is a two-night minimum stay for weekend camping. You must reserve both Friday and Saturday night. For Memorial Day Weekend, Labor Day Weekend and Columbus Day Weekend, there is a three-night minimum stay for holiday weekend camping and you must reserve at least Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights together.

There is a per night fee for second vehicles. The fee will be paid upon arrival at the park. The fee does not apply to vehicles towed behind a primary vehicle (RV) when the RV remains at the site and is used for transportation.

Check-in time is 2 p.m. Arriving earlier than 2 p.m. does not guarantee the sites’ availability. Check-out time is 12 noon on the scheduled departure date.

Campers arriving before 12 noon on the day of arrival will be charged the park entrance fee.
