If you want a real honest review of Riverland Report, keep reading. If you want a dishonest review of Riverland Resort and a personal attack on management because you didn't follow the rules of a park or were booty tickled because you didn't make your reservations on time for the following year, then go cry and sulk somewhere else.
Our groups of six RVs have been camping together for a couple years. We have boats, jet skis, off road toys, etc. Recently, we have been quarantining since March 23, 2020. For the first month, we were at a resort just a few miles up the road, where management was rude, unprofessional, disrespectful, and some were downright racist. We have had our reservations months ahead at Riverland but we're forced to stay at another resort due to Crapid-19.
May 1st came around and Riverland opened up, honoring all reservations for six RVs and six families. Upon entering the park, we were greeted by the front office staff and grounds crew. It was a breath of fresh air that we have never experienced before. Laurie, Teri, and Michelle were very professional, accommodating, and courteous, but they were still under quarantine orders. This was not understood by many customers as we witnessed rude behavior and comments by other customers when entering and leaving the store. Put the mask on if asked to do so! If your face is ugly, wear two masks!
This park is very well maintained, perfectly manicured, and it's obvious that pride is taken by the residents of the park. As for the residents, most are very friendly once you have gained their trust. Would you want someone coming into your vacation and destroy what you have? In many ways, I can't blame the residents for how they behave, but at the same time, campers need to understand that you must take pride in the park for your short stay. Yes, some residents have that entitled mentality, but it goes away quickly with a kind approach from the campers.
Here are a few items to consider when choosing a park and why we love Riverland..
1. The management patrols the park themselves.
2. The grounds are well manicured and the gravel is watered down twice a day to keep the dust down.
3. The store is stocked with many essentials, including Claws!
4. Management responds to all incidents of trouble within the park.
5. Residents take you in as their own once you've proven yourself.
6. They allow reservations one year in advance.
They have some of the nicest beaches on the strip.
7. Power pedestals are newer and provide clean power.
8. Beach front sites are steps from your boat.
9. Everyone here looks after each other's belongings.
10. The management is top notch, fair, equitable, and live on the premises.
Here is some advice for everyone, to ensure you have a great stay..
1. Read the posted signs and follow them.
2. Keep your dogs on a leash!
3. Clean up after yourself, family, and friends.
4. Don't feel entitled just because you've stayed here before. You sound like an inmate.
5. Keep your campsite and beachside clean.
6. Walk into the front office with a smile and those ladies will do anything for you!
7. Learn how to Karaoke.
8. Don't think people don't see or smell your goodies! Marijuana is still illegal (Felony) on federal land, and I'll turn you in to BLM. It's my job!
9. Respect everyone!
10. Smile, you're at the river.

This is a response to the review from Breanne. If you are a business owner, I feel sorry for your patrons. Your depiction of the experience you had with Riverland and it's employees was far from the truth. Let me paint the correct picture for everyone here.
I was also in the store when you and your friend came in with a young child. Yes, you were asked to put a face masks on but were insulted at the request. You and your friend had terrible attitudes, going as far as to call one of the office workers, the B word! The two of you then exited the store after being asked to put masks over your face. You came outside to a crowded dock area with men, women, and children present. At that point you decided to take your bikini tops off, using them as makeshift masks, while exposing your breasts and then wearing your life jackets. Everyone in the vicinity was appalled at your despicable acts, let alone the fact that you failed to tie off your skis correctly, allowing them to strike a nearby boat as you were inside the store.
You then re-entered the store and proceeded to verbally assault the office staff further, at one point stating how no other Rv resort on the river required face masks. One of the office ladies responded, stating that Riverland followed guidelines set forth by the CDC. If you did your research, Gov. Newsom two days before your incident, had ordered Californians to wear masks in public. But instead of following park rules, you continued to berate the office staff. After many minutes of patience and professionalism displayed by the office staff, you were then asked to leave the premises. read more
