Let’s start with the location, it’s in an industrial area and is very noisy from the freeway next to it. The river is completely dry so don’t expect a serene river setting. Service was very good except the office closes for the night so know that. Sites are decent but very close to each other. Had an incident with what appeared to be long term residents who had a domestic violence incident where the guy was obviously on drugs as he tried to do maintenance of some odd type in the middle of the night and then things turned violent. Cops arrived in the middle of the night and arrested one of them after threats of a stabbing and gun were heard. With nobody in the office that makes for a tense situation. Don’t think I would stay again.

Such a great experience. We were traveling and couldn't get a hotel room. And this place let us get a spot for the night. Super appreciative. They had nice hot showers and a nice pool. Thank you

This place is the best of the best! Exceptionally clean, meticulously maintained RV park with immaculate, level sites, great service (including propane tank pick-up and refill from your site) and great amenities (pool, hot tub, rec room, gym, etc.). I can’t say enough good things about this place. We feel fortunate to have stumbled across it and would go out of our way to stay again.

Great service. Staff maintained text communication with me before and during the stay to make things are okay. Paved road inside and grass lawn for every spot. Good Wi-Fi on “River Run RV” network, but bad spotty WiFi on “River Run WiFi”. Big clean shower and restroom facilities but only open from 7am - 10pm. Excellent hook ups. Nice quiet neighbors.
