River Park RV Park

This is a diamond in the rough! The inner roads are a little tight, but maneuverable, and the majority of the sites are are either concrete or asphalt. There are some that are either gravel or dirt. They have a dog park for your pets to play in. The area is well maintained and taken care of. They do have full timers that live on the property but the only way you can tell, besides the brochure is the organized and neat appearance they project. The space between the sites varies by site. Some are close and others are spacious. There is road noise due to I75 being close to the CG but it really cannot be heard from inside our rig. While sitting outside it may be a little distracting or welcomed, depending on who you are, but we found it to not be of a nuisance to us. This will definitely be a place on our come back to list! Highly recommend!

It was August 2021 and we were moving my daughter into the dorms at Valdosta State. We had ourselves set up at River Park, in part due to great location to everything in Valdosta. Unfortunately the night we arrived she fell terribly ill and we had to take her to the ER. She was treated and released but still very sick and had to go back to the ER the next day where she stayed for the next 6 days. Obviously this was a stressful time but Pete and Victoria were super helpful and let us extend our stay with no issues. They were very attentive to check on us as we went back and forth to the hospital. They even allowed a late night laundry detail when normally they lock it up at 10ish. They showed genuine concern for my daughter as she was dealing with a major respiratory, not Covid related believe it or not…they tested her twice a day for 6 days. I ended up working from the camper with no issues as I already and a remote employee and Verizon cell service was fine for hotspot off iPhone. The place was quiet other than the occasional landscapers blowing off sites with gas blowers. Nights were no issues. I suppose if you are outside you may hear I-75 traffic but never inside the camper unless a tractor trailer was Jake braking. Site was at the front of the park, maybe designed for the one nighters with easy pull through, but level with very nice grass so no outdoor carpet needed (or allowed, to protect it, they take pride in the beautification of the park and it was evident from the time they spent tending to it). Kind hearted managers made that part of our lives as stress free as possible and remained flexible with us since we didn’t know day to day what would happen. I’m a little late getting this posted but felt our experience was such that I had to share the kindness they showed my family. All is well with the kid but couldn’t stay at school and ended up remote this year. But it was all for the best. When she plans to return to in person we will certainly be back at River Park.

We arrived in Mid-May and stayed here through Mid-Aug. The park is divided into two areas: overnighters and seasonal/long-term. We were in the long-term area with several other travel nurses. First, let's get the negatives out of the way: traffic noise from I-75 and unlevel lots. Both of these issues vary depending on where in the park you are located. If you can handle those two issues, the rest is great. All of the overnight spots are paved and many have picnic tables or concrete patio areas I think they are all pull-thru as well. Most of the seasonal sites have paved spots to park a car, but the RV pad is dirt or gravel and few are pull-thru. All sites have 30 and 50 amp hookups, water, sewer, and cable. Weekly and monthly rates are available. Management has changed since the previous review and they have been wonderful.

Unlike Valdosta Oaks, this park is treed with lots of shade which is great for the summer season. Access is very easy off of I-75, with the entrance directly across from the Raceway gas station which has both diesel and gas. Maneuvering into some of the lots can be challenging but unless you're a brand new RV'er it is very doable. You are within a mile of the Valdosta Mall, Publix, Lowe's, many restaurants, and if you like Ice Cream I highly recommend Bruster's on Norman Drive behind Red Lobster.

Just in the time we have been here they have done a lot of work improving the property, and it really shows. They do have a small fenced dog area and very clean showers and restrooms if you need them. They do not have a pool (it looks like the dog area used to be a pool). The area is well lit at night, but not so bright that it's annoying. We will certainly stay here again when we are back this way.
