This is a wonderful place. Great location near town. Sites are large, level and grassy. Great people who are very helpful with what to do in the area. They keep the place so clean and neat. The long term sites are very clean and neat. The bathrooms seem brand new. A very nice meeting room with tables and a full kitchen. I would give it a 5 if the sewer connection was easier to use and the laundry had more than one unit.
Great place, great staff. We got a spot last day of February and were very happy with it. Will definitely be back again.
If there were 10 stars we would absolutely rate this RV Resort that as well as there apartment we stayed at in town. We have been traveling for 7 months and this is hands down one of the best RV resorts we’ve stayed at (only one other compared)! Bathrooms, shower and laundry were spotless. Lovely treed property. Pristine and quiet. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Big River Resort is such a beautiful place, The views right from the resort were amazing! . Rooms were clean and well kept. My family didn’t want to leave. The owners were so polite and eager to please. They even took the time to send us an item we had left in the room in the mail. It was greatly appreciated thank you for everything. We definitely will be making a trip there next summer. .
We stayed here the weekend of April 29-1May, 2022 and it was PERFECT for us. Great launching off point to explore all the river towns. The campground was super clean, extremely well manicured, and exceptionally clean shower/bath house. Elaine was a delight at check-in with sheets of local information and travel booklet's of the local areas. Bonus is the campground has great access to the local walking path that is flat and level, making for a great after dinner walk! The road is extremely quiet. We travel in a 40' class A diesel and had no issue with maneuvering in/out of campsite/ground. Would highly recommend using this campground if you are wanting to explore all the local towns or just need a quiet weekend to unwind sitting outside your rig with a fire!
Such a cute place. Elaine and Tom were very nice. Rooms were small but pretty much expected. Everything was clean and perfect for our stay. The only complaint I have is that I think the mattresses need to be turned? The one side of the one bed my hubs and I slept in was slightly higher on one side than the other. Silly, I know. But comfortable otherwise! Thanks for the great stay! Will be back.
We were just there this week and they were wonderful. Check in was smooth. Had a very nice spot for our travel trailer. The location was convenient for anything we needed. Gas, Bait, Groceries, and even a fishing spot. The grounds were very well kept. Thank you so much for making our first trip our new camper great.
Only sorry that I didn't take pictures. This place is the best resort ever, we stayed here in the campground, sites are perfectly level, clean, nice concrete patios with beautiful lawns around them and evertything works, the grounds are perfectly kept. The shower house is pure luxury; it's spacious, super clean and the showers are pure luxury. The women that checked us in was welcoming and very gracious, thank you for a wonderful experience.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
