I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riverside RV & Camper Park in Houston, Alaska with my family, and I'm delighted to share how much fun my kids had during our stay. The park offered them a unique and exciting experience, particularly with the muddy river bank and the Central playground.
One of the highlights for my kids was the muddy river bank. It provided them with a wonderful opportunity to unleash their inner explorers and embrace the joy of getting dirty. They couldn't resist the allure of the mud, and I was thrilled to see their imaginations come alive as they squished, splashed, and built their own mud creations. It was an adventure they'll remember for a long time.
The Central playground at Riverside RV & Camper Park was another hit with my children. The well-designed playground offered a variety of engaging activities that kept them entertained for hours. From climbing structures and swings to slides and interactive elements, there was something for children of all ages. It provided a safe and enjoyable space where my kids could run, laugh, and make new friends.
The fact that Riverside RV & Camper Park offers such diverse and exciting experiences for children is commendable. It's refreshing to find a place where kids can connect with nature, unleash their creativity, and engage in unstructured play. These experiences are invaluable in fostering their imagination, physical development, and social skills.
While my kids were having a blast, I appreciated the natural beauty and serenity of the park. Being surrounded by the stunning Alaskan landscape added a touch of tranquility to our stay, allowing me to relax and unwind while my children played and explored.
Although there were a few areas where improvements could be made, such as the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers, the positive experiences my kids had at the muddy river bank and Central playground overshadowed any minor inconveniences. It's clear that Riverside RV & Camper Park understands the importance of creating spaces where children can thrive and make lasting memories.
Thank you, Riverside RV & Camper Park, for providing a haven of fun and adventure for my kids. Your dedication to providing engaging experiences in a beautiful natural setting is truly appreciated. We look forward to returning to your park for more muddy escapades and playful moments at the...
   Read more47 States and countless RV parks - this was the worst experience by far. Maybe this use to be a nice place but I believe it has new owners recently.
Where to start. When we arrived nobody was in the office. Sign said they were doing chores. Rang the door bell that was there. Nobody. Called the number that was posted everywhere and the office phone rang. Eventually a friendly guy came in and said the person that ran the place was not there right now, they weren't really sure what to do, but did get us checked in. No big deal... Small hiccup.
We arrived on a Saturday and there were a lot of weekenders there having fun. Again, no big deal. Live music next door ran until about 11pm. It was Saturday, no big deal.
Sunday we get woken up at 6am from 2 young boys playing football right outside our trailer in the park road having a cussing match. Wasn't happy but shrugged it off.
Monday we get woken up at 430AM! The same 2 young boys playing football and having a cussing match. Was not happy. Called the office. Someone answered, said they would handle it. My wife had to go out and tell them it was 430am and our bedroom was right there. They apologized and moved to behind our camper and played until about 6am.
My wife went to the office once it was open and told them what happened. They apologized and said that was not acceptable. "Maybe they are adjusting to the time difference." Well, there are a lot of Alaskans that live in this park full-time, that is where the boys were coming from so we knew it wasn't a time difference thing. But the real kicker was when we went to do laundry (located in the office) and one of the boys was in the office because he was their kid!! So they just lied to us and it was the people running the place allowing their kid to go out and play in the park at 430am.
1 load of laundry is $8 FYI. Also, there are no "riverside" sites. There is a half of the park that is CLOSER to the river that they will charge you extra for but nobody has riverside sites. There is a little part where anyone staying in the park can go down to the river.
Would not stay again. This was the only bad experience we have had being in Alaska for...
   Read moreWe live only about 45 minutes from Riverside Camper Park and wanted to just get the rig out for the weekend and relax a bit. Weâve driven by this RV park many times and knew the location due to a well-known ice cream shop close by, but had not stayed at Riverside prior to this. All sites have full hookups (30 amp plug only) and the sites are wide enough for RV slide-outs (and then some) without being right on top of your neighbor. They also have a small boat launch (when the river isnât flooding) and is close to easy-access spots to fish on the Little Susitna River. The only negative is it was a bit noisy due to the proximity to the Parks Highway. ||||What prompted an âexcellentâ review from us began when a broken shear pin on one of our slides left us stranded and unable to go anywhere. With no tools, spare bolts, or locations close by to assist, I asked the park owner if they might know where I could get a replacement bolt or pin. Their son-in-law, Ed, happened to be there at the time and jumped right in. He took a significant amount of his morning, getting soaked in the rain in the process, trying different bolts, screws, etc,. He couldnât find anything that fit, so he used a hack saw to cut off a longer bolt and eventually nursed the slide back in so we could at least get our rig back home. Great Alaskan folks - we recommend highly to anyone needing a spot to park in the...
