Several parks provide concrete pads that accommodate larger vehicles while maintaining proximity to the river for fishing and recreation.

Water recreation: Campsites at Follow The River RV Resort offer river views and water access. "There is pool access, a tree for shade at every lot, a picnic table at every lot and water access as well.

It has a small fishing pond with a beautiful fountain that provides a neat camping experience," mentions a reviewer who appreciated the natural surroundings and peaceful atmosphere.
