For $17, a little more than the cost of a couple Happy Meals, you can camp here during the COVID-19 era, and you can't do much better for social distancing. The tree canopy alone is worth the price, like someone pasted a pocket of Idaho or Western Montana over this campground.
There are no hookups of any kind at your site, but the dump station is a short drive outside the campground gates, fire wood can be purchased at the ranger station, and many sites are right on the Farmington River. Behind sites 3 and 22 are paths to the water, so bring waders if you've got them. No waders? There's plenty of scenery to enjoy instead: I watched fish bob, ducks dive for breakfast, herons swoop (yup, two at one time), and a river otter glide down the river, all within about 10 minutes.
You're camping in bear country here so consider bringing bear horns/spray, as bear scat was on the well-marked, well-maintained trails in neighboring People's Forest just across the river. Please don't spend vesper hours letting kids playing with the bear horn since it'll just let bears get used to its sound and annoy neighbors, but if you don't play guitar let the kids have the tablet instead. The recycling and garbage bins on site have bear deterrents.
Bears aside, the camp bathrooms aren't as pristine as the KoA, but they do have free hot showers, and presently, hand sanitizer and social distancing reminders. Bring flip flops for your shower and enjoy feeling human again.
Speaking of human, people in each of the two campground loops seemed to respect quiet hours overall, and the one-way loops are great for family biking. Book early, relax, sneak out for hiking or ice cream in postcard-worthy Riverton, and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. read more
