We loved it, it was quiet, relaxing, and only a short walk to the bathhouse. The toilets were clean, and the big roomy showers were a treat. We are already planning another trip with some younger members who would love the chance to go on a kayak float trip.

Great peaceful location, very convenient shuttle service to float the river with their canoes or kayaks. Friendly hosts, would definitely return.

Great site next to the river

River Haven is such a wonderful find! It’s right next to the river under a canopy of trees. We stayed at sight 13, which was perfectly tucked into a corner between the river and a large field behind us. There were also clean bathrooms and showers. The owner was also super friendly and accommodating.

Hidden gem. We stay for 3-4 days once a year. The river and the campsites are always peaceful.

The Glamping Shack

The camper was quaint and cozy and just steps from the restrooms. The air conditioner was a great addition and we were thankful to have it, but our littles were over the moon with the dvd player and movies available. We would totally visit again!

Amazing Place

This was a very quiet and peaceful campground. Falling asleep to the sound of the river was so relaxing. The host was friendly and kind.
