Our Camping weekend at River Run was very nice again. The location to grocery stores and Branson entertainment is ideal. The only complaint we have is that the campground closes at the end of September and we wish we could camp later in the fall.i

Restrooms weren’t very clean and there was no hot water. The electric pedestal was sparking upon arrival. Contacted staff and it was repaired within a day.

Love the park, nice rv sites. Only complaint, so many local people bring their dogs to the park and let them run loose all over the park and don’t pick up after them. I always have my dog on a leash.

Quiet area. Watch for wasp nest on the covered picnic tables, They will try to get in your camper. Good location.

The spaces are blacktopped and very level. Each space has their own water hook up and electric pole that looks new. The park is very clean and has trees for shade. We love looking at the dam and lock with the barrage going through on the Arkansas river. We will be back.

The park host came by shortly after we arrived. The Ranger also came by the next morning. We were impressed with the host and Ranger, especially because the host is not located in the park. Both were very nice. The setting is great! We enjoyed our morning walks near the lake. The park is located in the quaint fishing community of Forsyth, just a few minutes from Branson.
