Castor River Ranch Campground

Jon (pronounced Yon) and Mary were both very nice, and were available anytime I had questions. Important note, cell service is non-existent for T-Mobile, possibly others, but AT&T works from what I recall Jon telling me. The campgrounds are clean and quiet, but I camped on a warm weekend with my dog in early November (2025), so not many people there. My site was next to the river, with a covered picnic table in excellent condition, and a maintained firepit with grate to grill. Jon has firewood at a reasonable price. Very important, payment at the campground is cash. Also worth noting, there is a Dollar General and a great family-owned grocery store nearby. If you need an ATM, there's one in the town nearby across from the grocery store. I came there specifically to see the pink granite of

Such a cute and friendly area to stay, the landowners are so sweet and accommodating and drove us up to their hiking trails when we asked where they were. The old 1800’s tunnel is a cool site, and the hiking trails are well maintained. There is electric at each tent site and shade at some, the bathhouse was really clean and cute, and the beach areas are well maintained and beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous location. The owners are a wonderful couple. Fantastic sceneries. Easy access to facilities and amenities.

This was our first time camping here and we will most definitely be back! The owners were so kind and helpful. The tunnel was beautiful and multiple trails to choose from. Our campsite was nestled in all cozy yet spacious enough for the kids to play some baseball. Thank you Castor River Ranch for a memorable trip!

I had a great experience at Castor River Campground. I took a group of high schoolers here to camp and watch the solar eclipse. Mary and her crew were so accommodating to my group. The campsite was clean and gorgeous right along side the river with a nice covered picnic table designed as a counter top one side that made meal prep easy. The grounds had nice trails to hike. The restrooms were clean and homey. Mary even work out getting enough canoes for my group to enjoy a float down the river before the eclipse.
