Meet two of the very heartbeats of River Oaks — Karen and Brian! ❤️

For nearly 20 years, they’ve called River Oaks home away from home… What started as simple weekend camping trips slowly turned into long weekends, lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and a place their entire family continues to come back to generation after generation.

Karen and Brian are the kind of people who make River Oaks so special. They are kind, welcoming, fun, and always ready with a smile or helping hand. They truly represent what our campground family is all about. We are so lucky to have such an amazing couple here at River Oaks Park!

When asked why they’ve stayed all these years, their answer was simple — the people. The friendships, the community, the laughter, the traditions, and the feeling that everyone here is one big family. From kids riding bikes and bouncing in bouncy houses to adults enjoying bands, activities, and clubhouse get-togethers, they’ve watched River Oaks grow while continuing to hold onto the small-town campground charm that makes it so special.

Karen and Brian, thank you for being such a wonderful part of River Oaks for all these years. Your story is exactly what camping memories are made of. ❤️🏕️

What an absolutely FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend here at River Oaks RV Park! ❤️

We cannot thank everyone enough for coming together to celebrate friendship, family, freedom, and God’s Country. From the laughter around the campfires to the kids enjoying the festivities, this weekend was one for the books!

A huge THANK YOU to Michael Bernard for absolutely knocking it out of the park with his down-home country music! 🎶🤠 The music, the memories, and the amazing crowd made for an unforgettable night.

Most importantly, we gathered to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

This weekend reminded us what camping is truly about — family, friends, community, and making memories that last a lifetime. Thank you all for making River Oaks feel like home.

Today, we take a moment to honor and remember a man who left a lasting mark on our campground family — Udell Mentola.

Udell was the kind of person you never forgot. His larger-than-life personality, stories, laughter, and presence brought joy to so many here at River Oaks. Alongside his beloved wife and family, he created memories that will forever be part of this campground’s story.

A proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Udell served his country with honor and dedication. This Memorial Day season, we especially reflect on the sacrifices made by men and women like him who wore our nation’s uniform with pride.

To honor Udell, we placed an American flag at his memorial — a small tribute to a man who meant so much to those around him. ❤️🤍💙

Our hearts continue to be with his wife, children, family, and all who knew and loved him. Thank you, Udell, for your service, your friendship, and the memories you gave us all.

Once part of the River Oaks family, always part of the River Oaks family.
