Great location on the river! I loved growing up camping here. All the canoe liveries go by here which is very fun to watch. Kids can tube from one side of the campground to the other, which is nice. The river sites small but good views and laughs. A bit expensive. I hope they give it a face-lift and add some new amenities and nicer bathrooms. Lots of great memories here with over 20 years camping at River Run.

No sinks to wash your hands in the bathrooms- just hand sanitizer. No sinks with soap and water available down on the camp sites! Absolutely bonkers. Pool was packed full of dirt and dead bugs. Otherwise, fine and average campsites.

Our family has been coming to River Run Family Campground for over 10 years, and it’s always been a special place for us. You really can’t beat the location—it’s beautiful and convenient. The campsites themselves are mostly sand and could use some improvement, but it’s clear the new updates and improvements around the grounds are making a big difference. We look forward to seeing how it continues to grow in the years to come!

Amazing place! We have a seasonal site at the RV park and just joined this year. The place is clean, quiet, fun, and conveniently located. Joey has been so helpful and kind to us. We highly recommend them! Update: It has been 4 months and I stand by my review! Great place!

We camped from Tuesday to Saturday, with the campground slowly filling up towards the weekend. Generally laid back and respectful experience. Our adjacent lots were across from the restrooms in the front, and behind us through our neighbors was the river. We had about a day of rain spread through a couple days, and the tree cover was nice for this, and keeping the direct sun away when it was hotter. Busy campground, but I liked the location to Loudonville, and we used the River Run float location just a bit up the road to do their 7 mile float, which we ended up being on the river for about four hours.
