5 Rivers Campground - Camping Spot

Five river was an awesome experience! I made the trip from south jersey to Parsons and the staff were very polite and extremely helpful! Shout out to John for the delivery of the fire ring! I highly recommend five river campgrounds for any family! I will definitely be comming back next year!

Went for the Bluegrass festival held the end of August. Live music from Grammy winners and others. Bring your own chair. Plenty of food vendors. Great, clean bathrooms as well.

This place is awesome and the staff is amazing for the Pickin’ in the Parsons Bluegrass festival. It’s very well organized and maintained. It took us a long time to get a full hook spot for the festival. But once I got a full hook up spot and come to the festival, I wished I would participated earlier. They have excellent level spots and generators are allowed. You don’t have to walk far from the stage. The customer service goes above and beyond. As long as we are able this will be a yearly festival for us. Probably our favorite bluegrass festival! Great music and food!

I've been going to five river campground for a couple years now and it's always a great time. I love the atmosphere and the staff and the owners. Everyone makes you feel very comfortable. I'm going back in a couple weeks for a week of bluegrass and I'm looking forward to the sound of the river at night and bluegrass through the day. Thank you John, Joyce, and Kate for the amazing job that you do. You guys are an awesome group site 200 in shady grove feels like home every time I'm there.

The campground is famous for its sold out annual Bluegrass festival yet its powwows are fantastic - just not well known. 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 as well. The Five River 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 mountains. 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 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.
