A group of us recently stayed here at River Forest and had a great time! The campground location is extremely convenient for rafting on the rapids along Wolf River. We originally were going to raft with another company, but River Forest recommended we use Big Smokey Falls Rafting. We’re so glad we did because the equipment was great to work with. Both the campground and the rafting company provided transportation to and from the campground which made it easy to enjoy some drinks on our trip down the river. The owners were incredibly nice and laid back. Highly recommend staying!
We had a wonderful experience at River Forest Campground! I was especially impressed by the small cabins we were able to rent. All equipped with a window AC unit and a mini fridge. They have everything you could need right on site at their convenience store, so I wouldn't worry if you forget something. They also serve delicious ice cream all day!
You can tell the owners have put a lot of work into making it a wonderful experience for their guests! We drove 3.75 hours from the Twin Cities and it was well worth it. Can't wait to go back and do some kayaking this time!
My significant other and I just left yesterday from our four day vacation. I will say I felt like I was at home. The customer service was amazing and the two owners were amazing people to talk with. And had a wonderful puppy named Bella, who you’ll see saying goodbye and hello to you. The cabin we stayed in (1 in the village) was super clean and was a nice break from the tenting experience. In that location there was little cell phone service which is what we both needed to disconnect. The rafting was also such a great experience. The first day we planned on going we got rained out but the owners were so wonderful and let us move the tubing experience back a day. I plan on coming here with my friends and my significant again and again. This was just such a great family place, with beautiful views. I can’t wait to come back for a concert on their stage and enjoy some more fun.
Mark and I had a great first time experience here! Our site was towards the back of the grounds where it was semi private and still close enough to the clean bathrooms we could walk to.
The owners are a wonderful couple who take the time to understand your needs and go above and beyond to ensure they are met. Our experience literally started when I called to make the reservation. Amy spent a good amount of time with me over the phone asking the right questions, and to thoroughly explain the different options available to us. Their commitment to welcoming you and making this a great place to make memories comes through at every step.
It was a perfect weekend of good weather, great accommodations, and several activities on the river to choose from. We opted for a guided tour on the rafts through the falls, and it was well worth the money spent.
We look forward to our next trip back and we will be recommending this place to others.
River Forest Campground is the perfect place to relax and get away from the city. Amy and Rafael are very personable and accommodating. We got engaged during our weekend trip up north and it was perfect to come back to the campground, enjoy our cabin and have a nice fire. It was even more special to share our experiences of the day with others around the campground. They have a great team that helps them in the summer, especially Eddy and his family. We went Rafting on the Wolf river with Eddy and he is such an interesting, knowledgeable, and fun guide. Our trip down the river was more than just a fun recreational activity as he had lots of good advice and clues for us to have a successful marriage. Big Smokey Falls rafting company, who they work with, is a fantastic partner. We also did a solo tubing trip on a more calm section of the river and transportation was provided for us! River Forest Campground also has a new music venue in the back corner of the property that would be a great place to hold small outdoor events, live bands, or even weddings! I would highly recommend a getaway here!
