My sister and I rented cabins for my father’s 75th birthday and it was a great place to do it! We used to come to Riverside as kids and it was awesome to bring our families back to the place we all had such fond memories of. Nostalgia overload! The water slides were fantastic as well as mini golf! So much to do, wonderful backyards and a common charcoal bbq area was a great addition. Pet friendly and everything was well kept. All the staff was fantastic…but Dennis was the GOAT! We’ll definitely stay again! Can’t wait for next time! Thanks Riverside!

We went for a spur of the moment weekend trip. Price was worth what we paid. Clean unit as well as the property. One of the beds wasn’t good for us but my daughters was good! Pet friendly, convenient location to the water. On site store, ice cream and pizza. We didn’t have time to use the pool because we went exploring. I would stay here again!

Such a great fun time, the is very clean and WARM. Staff were amazing so kind and helpful and smiling. Always went above and beyond. My only complaint is the playground. So many kids running arpund and playing RIGHT beside the highway with no fence. Crazy they could just accidentally run on the highway. Please put up a fence. Regardless we will be back. So fun for the kiddos.
