    Stayed one night here a couple weeks ago on a cross country trip. Campsites and bathrooms were very…read moreclean and the whole place looked very well taken care of. Debbie and Gene were super nice and very welcoming with plenty of stories to tell. Loved the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver played every night. Overall a super fun experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone that finds themselves in the area.

    Gorgeous location. Camping spots are fairly large and nicely spaced with trees surrounding for…read moreprivacy. The restrooms are clean and there are enough of them. There's a dumpster where you can leave your trash instead of packing it out. Seems well-run. You can't see the river from the campsites (not ours, at least) but it's quite accessible. Our site (number 39) had a path (somewhat treacherous and steep) down to the water. Once you complete the circuit, it's a short walk to ride by again. Some of the rapids are a bit rough and could be dangerous for kids. Bring everything you need. Once you're at your campsite, it's a long way back to civilization to pick up anything you forgot. It's a fairly long drive to Dolly Sods but hiking there is beautiful. Things to know: BYO tube. Bring water shoes. River can be a bit shallow with big rocks and you need foot protection. Three packs of firewood for $20. Buy earlier in the day rather than right at dusk. Bring cash. One picnic table per campsite. Road in is a bit rough and twisty. There are signs about how to take care of your food and trash as to avoid attracting bears. There's a pole you can hang trash from at your site, which is convenient.

The campground is famous for its sold out annual Bluegrass festival yet it is gaining attention for its powwow events. It was very easy to find the campground. We went to the Five River Campgrounds for the Third Annual Powwow in Parsons in June 2025. It was the most meaningful pow wow I ever experienced. The owners of the campground (Joyce & John) gave the sales of the tickets to the powwow to the MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) Memorial Grove. The non profit organization is involved in promoting awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Some of the performers gave their earnings to MMIW Memorial Grove as well. The Five Rivers Campgrounds owners welcomed us with open arms and immediately noticed us as photographers. We do a lot of philanthropic work in photography yet we rarely get noticed or thanked by many people for it. The owners of the campground were selling tee shirts and stickers with our photography. We had given permission to have our photography used to the performer we have taken the photo of and we were happy to see that he & the owners of the campground were displaying our photography on tee shirts and stickers in the campground shop. The campgrounds are beautiful with views of the mountain. Immediately staff helped us park and alerted us of the speed limit on the campgrounds. The powwow was held outdoors and there was an open air arena with a roof to provide shade. The stage in the venue had a shelter and a good view. You had to provide your own seating, yet we knew that beforehand. The fee for the pow wow was $10 for two days, and we captured the most memorable and beautiful photos we ever took on those days of performers in regalia against green foliage and the mountains. The powwow was small yet the amazing camaraderie and performers were unforgettable. This was one of the finest powwow venues in ambiance, performance, connections, and professionalism we ever experienced.

    Me and my friend stayed here for one Monday night and were the only people on the grounds that day…read more This is about a 20-minute drive to Spruce Knob Mountain peak. There's lots of nearby trails you can use up there and each trail could take you a whole day. So if you're limited on time (like we were) choose wisely. Eber was the owner/manager and he was really friendly and accommodating. He was super helpful, gave us a map of the nearby trails and had wonderful insight to help us plan out our activities. He also provided firewood and ice for really cheap. The grounds themselves were clean and we have no complaints. There was cold drinking water. The restrooms (male and female) were extremely clean and stocked. There is a large lamp-post in the center of the grounds that lights up the water fountain area and the vicinity pretty well, but if you are in one of the camp sites on the edge of the grounds you will likely need several other sources of light/fire in order to see around you. There are some tall trees in/around the camp grounds so if your first priority is star-gazing I'd give this spot a 7.5/10 for that specific purpose. Everything else was a 10/10 for us.

The camp ground has very thoughtful touches, a hiking area, awesome fire rings with cooking grate, clean vaults toilets with mens and womens doors and automatic on lights, picnic tables and nice flat tent camping area. It was nice and quiet at night and convenient to where we wanted to go. :) FYI, Verizon has no signal in the whole Seneca area but AT&T does. Issac and Euber were super nice and helpful. We are so happy to find a clean, quiet and friendly place to stay.
