WHAT A TREASURE! We love the campground and have had many beautiful memries. Time stamps to hold onto for life. The owner is a delight and very helpful. It's a place I love to go in my mind when I feel stressed ❤️

Haven Vintage Airstream (Rv site B)
I found this site through a quick Google looking for pet friendly lodging for a holiday weekend. I thought it was a longshot to find a place on one day notice, but was pleased to have found river Haven resort! With rain on the horizon, I booked the airstream, knowing I wanted to be more protected, but was excited about the opportunity to play in the river weather permitting. Unfortunately, heavy storms kept me out of the river and drastic flooding in the state made me uncomfortable and prompted in an early departure. I contacted the host and they had no issue refunding one nights stay amount. I hope to come back and redeem this credit on d the weather is more pleasant, because I’m very excited about what the location has to offer. The bed was very comfortable, nice to be protected from the elements and have access to electricity for charging, and refrigeration for food storage. The attached deck is a nice touch as well as the standalone hammock for relaxing. The flush toilets are adjacent to the site, an outdoor showers a brief walk down the road. Great water pressure in the shower and loved showering in the open air. Thanks again for the host for being accommodating and understanding the weather issues, I’m excited to return on a sunny day and explore the river more!

We really enjoyed our last minute tent camping trip at River Forest! We came in after a big storm, so a few sites were a little muddy (expected), but we found a great spot that offered lots of shade but wasn’t too muddy. Took the dogs down to the river the next day and they had a blast. The owners are really nice and helpful. We will definitely be camping here more often!

We loved RFH. Super attentive staff when you need them and very private, hands off staff when you don’t need them. 10/10 would go again!!!

Cool spot with a little sloped path to river from site. Super responsive camp hosts. Enjoyed kayaking in the river, swimming in the pool, showers, AC in restrooms, and space at campsite.

Had a great time tent camping, the people were responsive and quick if you needed something. We played in the river and floated a little bit. Really great all the way around!

My stay was awesome! I was with my mom and brother for Mother’s Day and we spent most of our time on the river or in the pool! Showers are awesome too.

Super friendly hosts, they offered us guidance and we also saw them maintaining the portas first thing in the morning, but there were tight one way dirt roads. Wonderful foilage beautiful in the daytime. Our experience was overshadowed by a pack of big dogs in the entrance that were almost standing guard in the complete darkness. It was a strangely evenly spaced formation preventing us from driving in. Later in the night, it really freaked us out when we noticed one of them followed us into the site and was watching us from the dark. We are used to animals/dog lovers but this pack was not right…

The good: Beautiful, shady, lush green forest camping sites with lots of space and nice hot showers! People were quiet after dark and my kids fell asleep easily. The purchased firewood was delivered right away. I would recommend this spot for those reasons.
The not so good: My kids were expecting to swim and the river was deep, but very murky, muddy, and unswimmable imo. (This may be seasonal, not sure - we went mid March.) I would canoe or kayak on it tho! The portable toilets were very full and we avoided using them. There were lots of biting ants and a fair number of mosquitoes.
Conclusion: I would recommend this spot with reservations!

I tent camped here in the back of my truck and loved it. There are some spots you can get to without anything special, but if you have a smaller acr be aware of where you're staying and the weather. I could imagine it would get difficult to traverse when raining if not prepared. Overall the place is beautiful with lots of trees and great spots to choose from to set up. I do wish there was a little better access to the water for swimming, its more suited for canoeing or fishing. The staff is great too! They're quick to respond, even if it's something like your truck battery dying 😂

This is a majestic location near Austin where families can take quick getaways to be surrounded in nature and with fun water activities along with the camping experience. They have it all! We just left and the whole family can’t wait till the next time we unplug. It’ll be here! Super friendly staff definitely seals the deal.

Drive in is through an ugly neighborhood. I didn’t feel safe. Nobody on site—absentee owners. Bathroom is a portapotty that hasn’t been cleaned in a while. And NO TOILET PAPER when I really needed it. I left and got a hotel.

Hosts are very responsive and nice, however, sites are pretty close together, with many people walking directly through my campsite to get down to the river. I didn't feel a sense of privacy, which is something I really value when camping. There is a lot of traffic noise from the highway, too.

Beautiful property even in the wet conditions. Directions were easy. Recommend truck or SUV for the forest sites during rainy season. Kid & dog had fun jumping in puddles and warming up with a fire. Communication and deliveries were prompt. Campers all around but spread out enough to hardly notice. Porta potty was clean. Would love to visit again in the summer to enjoy the river.

We went for a two night stay & really enjoyed ourselves!! The hosts were very attentive and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. The showers are nice, we just had to call and they ran (literally) to turn them on for us due to them periodically shutting them off for weather purposes. Our friend tried hanging a hammock and broke a tree (our fault not theirs) && they came and check on us right away. They weren’t concerned about the tree, just our friend. They are pet friendly, just keep your pet near by you. The fishing was great and peaceful there. They have docks to fish from. They do have porter potties throughout the grounds that they keep pretty clean which I appreciated as well. We will definitely be going back!

We had a great time camping here to celebrate my finance’s birthday! Our dogs had a blast and the site was quiet and in a perfect location with a private dock to access the water!

The host was kind and helpful. We had privacy unless we requested their delivery service (wood), which was brought promptly. There was some noise from the highway but it makes up for how close and easy it is to come out here for a couple of nights. I would stay again.

Fun camp site but when we went there was a wedding happening across the road and it was LOUD. I’d assume it isn’t an every weekend kind of thing but it really put a damper on the “get away from people” vibe. And you can hear the highway from here. But that’s to be partially expected being so close to the city still.
Staff was super nice and really helped us out when our fire wood got snatched.
I would recommend this place for a day visit or overnight stay.

Definitely a cool spot to camp. I was in a forest site with my van and loved every minute of it. Next time I’ll do a river spot for the experience but what an amazing property.

This was probably one of the best camping experiences I've had yet. The host was super friendly, came around to pick up our trash every so often, delivered our canoes and even provided clean restrooms and showers. The actual spot was beautiful too, near the water, nice trees to give shade and an open field close by to pass a football or frisbee. I would definitely camp here again!

This is a great campsite for beginners like ourselves! It was really peaceful and calm, the host was amazing from the beginning and was very communicative. We had campers near us at most of the sites but everyone was just respectful and you would barely notice people there.

Easy to find if you follow instructions. This specific site was kind of far away from the sites, definitely more than the other sites. It was close to the bathrooms so unfortunately we had people walk through our site during the night to get to the bathroom and that was not pleasant. The land was cool as you can walk to a little beach area and the hosts are able to provide you with firewood, trash pick up etc.
