Entrance sign for Riverside Park, Bay City

Riverside Park is owned and operated by the city of Bay City and is located about 5 miles southwest of town along the Colorado River.

After passing the city golf course one arrives at the park. Registration is in this office building that also houses the showers and laundry facilities. The office staff was very friendly and helpful.

Sites 1-20. The camp road is paved, but individual sites are gravel and grass. Each has a cement pad with a picnic table and a raised grill.

Site 33 shows what can happen when parks allow long-term stays. Fortunately it was the only one with so much "stuff", although the Camp Host site was almost as bad.

There are two modern bathrooms with sinks and toilets. Free hot showers are located in the rear of the park office building.

The Wilderness Loop contains 34 sites with electric and water hookups. There is no convenient bathroom facility. Here are sites 69 and 73.

The Wilderness Loop is much more rustic than the full-hookup loop, with more trees and undergrowth. Here are sites 66 and 67.

For those with a boat, there's a ramp near the campground.

Also near the campground is a nice play area for the kids. There is also a large grassy area where folks can play baseball or volleyball.
