My husband and I come here as much as we can. This is a great place to camp. The people who run Riverview are very nice people and easy to get along with. Easy access to the Osage River for boats or to fish.
We tried to cancel our reservations 3 1/2 months ahead and they wouldn't refund our money. When we made the reservations we wrote everything down and was told to get money back the cancelation had to be done before 14 days of arrival.
We have camped in many places and never done this way. We will never use their resort. Plus any of our friends will either. They have lost more than they have gained.
We tent camped and realized when we arrived that we had forgotten a few items. The management (John) was extremely helpful in providing us with what we needed and even went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The bathrooms were clean and showers worked well. Close proximity to all the activities of the Ozarks without being in the middle of it.
Nice facilities, clean bathrooms, and a nice small pool with seating. Had an issue with our reservation due to no fault of the campground (miscommunication in our group) however they were extremely kind, professional, and helpful in getting it resolved and ensuring our reservation was booked. Most spots are primarily gravel and fire pits are located very close to the adjacent sites hookups. Be prepared if you have a dog as there isn't much grass in the spots themselves, however there are a lot of great places for a walk. The spots by the river appeared to have more "lawn" space. A little disappointed at the response to an earlier commenter regarding the traffic noise, especially since the employees were incredibly kind and helpful while we were there. The park does sit below the interstate, however you can clearly see billboards at night and hear cars both day and night. It is not so loud as to be distracting and barely noticeable unless you are outside and paying attention. I don't see the point of denying that it is audible, its not a big deal. Anyone booking a spot in any park near a major road should expect to hear at least some background noise. Nice creek and pond, great area to take a walk by the river too. Good location for nearby attractions. All in all a good place for a short stay.
