Reservations are strongly recommended at River Run Park, an Army Corps of Engineers campground in campgrounds near Forsyth that fills quickly even on non-holiday weekdays. Sites run $24–$26 per night and accommodate RVs up to 45 feet with electric and water hookups. The waterfront is well maintained and accessible for fishing or swimming. One notable caveat: the access road is listed as rough, and flooding has put sites underwater during high-water events, so check conditions before arrival.
