“The camp site is in a beautiful area. There is plenty of room between campers. The couple that run it are some of the nicest people we have met in a long time. Iowa is a beautiful state! Not a bunch of stupid rules just simple living at its best. We loved it!”

“The RV park is very unique place. It is in nature, with lots of trees, quiet, big spaces and greenery all around. The people there are very nice! We needed some help to take care of our dog, and Tina, Karen and Mike were there to assist us! We are so grateful, and will never forget them. We wish we had more time to spend there.”

“River Oaks RV Park is an amazing place to relax, kick back and enjoy the scenery! Not to mention the property manager (Tina) was an absolute angel. She treated us as family! Gave us a ride on her golf cart, touring the entire property and sharing some amazing stories and facts of the campgrounds! Yes, I can honestly say, Oak Park RV Campgrounds is Gods Country!!”
