Fox Run exceeded my expectations from beginning to end. The campground is clean, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. The bathrooms were spotless and always well stocked, the laundry room was clean and convenient, and everything was thoughtfully laid out. You really don't want for anything during your stay. It's obvious the owners and staff take great pride in keeping the campground welcoming and comfortable. The on-site restaurant was another pleasant surprise. The food was delicious, and it was so nice to have a great meal just steps from my campsite. What truly made my stay memorable, though, was the hospitality. Desi was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, accommodating, easy to talk to, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience. As a solo traveler, I arrived with a few understandable concerns about being in bear country. Desi immediately put my mind at ease and even loaned me bear spray for the night so I could relax and get a good night's sleep. That simple act of kindness meant far more than she probably realizes. If you're looking for a campground with outstanding facilities, a great restaurant, and people who truly care about their guests, I highly recommend Fox Run. Thank you, Desi, and everyone at Fox Run, for making me feel so welcome. I would happily stay here again the next time my travels bring me through the area. Blue Skyy Wanderer💙

Plenty of space and options. The restaurant right within the camp ground was a huge plus point. Wash rooms were super clean and had all the necessary stuff. Lake was great and was just 100 yards walkable from the campsites. Only drawback was that there were too many mosquitoes when we visited. Huge ones in fact. Would recommend to take the sites on the farther side to avoid noise from the freeway.

Spots are superrr tiny for the prices, very crammed together. We left for the day to attend an event we were a vendor at, and got back around 5:30. Pulled around the loop to turn our trailer around, slowly and polite around the people and loose dogs, to then get yelled at by an old man saying not to drive through here without being to the office first. We’ve been here two days! Wouldn’t come back unfortunately:/

We have spent two whole summers here. We helped out while we were here, and got to know Desi, Kenny, and Shirley, and some other regular campers. And made new friends from other places that stopped in. There was never a dull moment. A lot of laughs and felt like we were among family. We won't be there this summer because we won't be camping that much since we bought a house. We will still be stopping in to say hello when we can.

The food is traditional and delicious. A surprise gem in a vacant area. Will definitely be back.
