This site was more "than a work in progress." This was a liability waiting to happen. The site had 4x4's with screws sticking up and rusted metal strips around the sites where you were to hook up. For those that were tenting you got a picturesque view of the river with another picturesque site of dumped furniture. I think this campground needs to get better prepared before advertising.
Actually the area from Jefferson City to Hermann is an area waiting for development of campgrounds with some good restaurants that offers more than sandwiches and beer.
This area was a red-neckers delight! The actual trail is great but....

I was hoping that my eye's weren't deceiving me. I drove down to check it out. All I saw was a trash pile where the campground was supposed to be.

I rode the Trail in 3 days in June and had planned to stop one night at this campground. I agree that the sign stating "work in progress" was a stretch of the vocabulary. No work seen, no progress noted. After a long, hot 80 mile day, I opted to ride 6 more miles to Bluffton and stayed at Steamboat Junction. We were the only campers there, but that just guaranteed an uninterupted long, hot shower. Not much there, but it was very peaceful.

Based on the above comments, and the fact that I could not get a reply from the campground owner, I went ahead and marked Rivers Edge as "closed" on this website. Just down the trail in Bluffton, Steamboat Junction or Rendleman Home (a B&B but he'll let you pitch a tent) are good alternatives.
