Belmont Park

Anglers and boaters will find direct river access at Belmont Park, a county-managed campground positioned along a bend in the river near Buxton. The gravel road leading to the site requires some navigation to locate, but the wooded setting provides well-spaced campsites with shade coverage. Electric and water hookups serve RV campers, while a dedicated tenting area offers more room to spread out.

The boat launch sustained flood damage and presents a steep approach that may challenge larger trailers until repairs are completed. Maintenance issues affect some facilities, including aging picnic shelters and basic outhouse conditions. Campers exploring the region can find campgrounds near Hillsboro for additional options. Sites cost $10 per night with reservations available through the county.

secluded county park on the river

This park has been closed on and off during the time of the pandemic. When open, it is a hidden gem for rustic camping in terms of setting and location, deep in the woods and right on a bend on the river. The campsites are well spaced and shaded, and the tenting area is particularly spacious. There is an official boat access to the river for fishing, but it seems to have sustained some flood damage during recent storms, and it is pretty steep, so it might not be the easiest for boats and trailers until repaired. I am giving this campground a 3 because though the wooded setting is so appealing, warranted a 4 or even 5, I will say that campground overall was a bit run down, the outhouse facilities left a bit to be desired, better maintanence is needed, and one the the main group picnic shelters seemed a bit rickety. Another reviewer mentioned bugs, this is not a problem in fall when we were there, and the campground is well above the river so maybe not a problem in drier times in summer, but I can imagine that after times of rain there would be alot of muddy puddle areas along shore that might be mosquito heaven
