Awesome place to stay in Red River. The sites are large and level with adequate space between sites to give each privacy. The river front sites are the best and we loved our week here in October. I have stayed at other parks in the area and this one is the best. Staff was super friendly and the camp store is well stocked. Would for sure stay here again.

First time visiting Red River. Our stay at 4K River Ranch in our fifth wheel was very relaxing and we couldn’t ask for more. The staff were very pleasant! We enjoyed our afternoon sits and sits around our Solo at night that overlooked the pond and the colorful mountains surrounding us. Our only complaint is that the wifi is weak, but no big deal as we came here to relax and enjoy the Fall colors and not internet or social media.

The location was great. I loved fishing in the river and actually caught trout. The RV sites are very close together and subsequently it is not very quiet or peaceful. It is a great place for kids. It is very safe for them to ride their bikes around by themselves and fish or just have fun. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Update: we loved this place so much that we stayed an extra night, which meant we had to move to a different site. The new site was quite large with a view of a mountain across the river. It was close to the bathrooms/showers, which were immaculate. Original review: We stayed in a travel trailer here. The spaces are level but a little narrow, though everything else made up for that. We were right on the river with a pretty fishing pond behind us. Friendly staff escorted us to our space and were very helpful. The location is surrounded by mountains, and flowers were growing along the river. It was very quiet overnight. Lots of fellow travelers were catching fish from the pond and the river. Located conveniently close to town. This resort seems very secure.

4K was a quiet, peaceful and relaxing place with beautiful surroundings and really nice staff. I could tell the staff were happy there because they were genuinely friendly and very helpful. I love the rustic cabins! Same with all the guests I encountered there, they all seemed friendly and content. It was nice to see the children playing outside and getting fresh air instead of sitting with electronic devices occupying their minds. I love it each and every time I stay there. 😊👍🏽
