Website only allows 2 night reservation. Not convenient for bike/tent camping.

The River's Edge Campground has a specific area for bicycle campers. I don't believe it is part of their normal booking system, but it is a big fenced in field, and there is plenty of room to get bikers in there. You should not need to make reservations, as I don't believe they've ever been full. I hope this helps.

I agree with Casey D's observation. The biker's tent area quite under utilized. I rarely see any, let alone, multiple tents there. I just went past there a week ago and there was just one tent up. Further, I've tented there a couple of times without any reservation

The 2-night online reservation limit may well be targeted at the weekend RV campers. The RV areas are quite full.

If you truly want to tent there, I'd call them to get the applicable info for tents there.

ok. I found the discussion! Any hammock poles or trees for us here?

The area for tents was developed along with an RV parking area expansion about 3 years ago. Having ridden by that area several times, there are few, if any, trees there. I’d call them to verify my observation or perhaps they have an alternate area with trees especially on the side of the trail next to the river.
