This park sets amongst Ponderosa pines and woody areas. It has a funky old time feel. There is a rustic old looking store, railroad cars and lots of charm. Part of the park is on level ground and some goes directly up a slope which can make RV parking interesting. The pads are gravel and level with full hook ups. There is little or no sitting or visiting areas on either side of the RV's; however, there were a couple sites near the top of the slope that had more privacy, dog friendly with many places to walk. Bathrooms were warm, very private and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Information on local services and entertainment plentiful. I did not try their Wi-Fi, Satellite or Cable TV. Would Stay here again. Grand Canyon a short distance away as well as numerous other things to see.
This park is scenic and well appointed; however, it seemed overly congested with campers parked too close together. Pad was relatively level, but mostly dirt as well as surrounding area. Shower facilities were located a considerable distance away, but were clean and functional. Staff seemed very impersonal, indifferent and had an attitude of "business as usual". Didn't try to use Wi-Fi, Satellite TV. Place just didn't have a good feel about it and couldn't wait to leave. Don't think I'd try to stay here again.
There are two RV parking areas at Wildhorse. One is free and is basically dry camping in a dirt lot off of the main asphalt parking for the Casino and the other is a fee-based full fledged RV Park a couple blocks away behind the Casino. In the freeby, RV's are packed up along side each other like sardines, no services other than a shuttle to the Casino. One hasn't lived until parked next to a noisy or diesel belching generator. I found the fee based RV Park by chance and thank God!. Park is well laid out, pads are level and paved, full hook ups, plenty of grassy areas, dog friendly. Easy to arrive after hours. Staff friendly and helpful with local resources. Didn't use their facilities so can't comment.
This stop was intended as an overnighter and it will remain that way. Staff were VERY helpful and friendly; however, RV's are jammed in this park like sardines. Sites are gravel as well as the roads. The place is dog friendly, but the only place to walk a dog is on the road. They market their "dog park", but it is nothing more than a fenced in dirt area about the size of a small narrow den. There are a lot of long term RV'ers there due to construction work and the park was relatively quiet. There is a small store on the grounds, pool, shower, but I didn't bother with any of these things.
I really liked this place due to its quiet and rustic setting. This is right on HWY 95 so, one does hear road noise in the background, but after awhile I completely forgot it. Several large cottonwood trees dot the RV Park setting. The road and the pads are compressed dirt. Picnic tables are throughout. Elec & water hook ups. The best thing about this park is its natural hot springs. There are 3 of them with varying temperatures enclosed in separate buildings. You can lock the door and go natural. The staff was friendly and helpful. I didn't use their bathrooms; however, I got a peak. They are relatively clean and functional, but definitely not 5 star. Absolutely no cell phone service or Wi-Fi. I didn't even attempt satellite TV. It appears that his RV Park needs a lot of upgrades, repairs and remodeling and it is on the market to be sold. Still, I would come again and stay longer.
There are two RV Parks at Stovepipe Wells Village. One is run by the National Park Service (NPS) and the other is a private concern run by Xanterra Inc. Both parks are behind the General Store and next to each other. Both are on hard packed dirt/sand with no shade. The private one has full hook ups and are pull through. One registers at the hotel across the street from the General Store and further amenities include the use of the hotel facilities including the swimming pool, showers/bathrooms, ice machine, guest lounge, soda machine and phone. The NPS site has numerous places to camp and is basically dry camping with limited times for generator use and is much cheaper to stay. I saw dumpsters and a small building at this site, but I don't know if there were showers there. Death Valley is an awesome experience; however, come prepared at all levels. Many of the off main road scenic sights have turn around areas for large rigs. I was in a 28' Class A motorhome towing a vehicle and had no problem.
Camped here in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides. Fort Stevens is a large state park located on the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River. Its 12 camping loops contain 174 full hookup and 302 electrical sites. Nearly all sites are shaded. The park offers miles of paved bike / hiking trails and easy access to the sandy Pacific beach at several points. The Fort, built to protect access to the Columbia has a small museum and several self-guided walking tours are available. Convenient to Astoria and the many historic sites in the area, the park makes an excellent base for exploration of the area. Excellent paved interior roads. Close to many attractions. Especially liked the site layouts in small loops with shower/restrooms in the middle; however, it can get noisy with children and dogs. There are "camp hosts" at each loop. Dump sites are at central drive through locations, clean and easy to use. Staff patient, helpful and friendly.
The best part about this Park was the attendant who was very helpful and friendly. The entire park is sitting on black gravel. Picnic tables are located on one side with a grassy area. Bathroom/showers were rustic, but clean. Full hook ups, big rigs no problem. The park sits right in the middle of a neighborhood, thus it looks like somebody took their extra acreage and made an RV PArk, but it works. Wouldn't stay here for any length of time.
I camped in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides. This park is located right next to the sand dunes with the beach being just a short walk away. Each site pad is asphalt with full hook ups, grassy areas & picnic tables. Reasonable distance between you and your neighbor. Some sites are huge with large grassy areas. There was a pool, I believe there were showers and laundry, but I didn't use. Area to clean fish. Plenty of spaces to walk the dog. You can rent a vehicle in nearby Astoria (I understand Hertz will deliver), plenty to do in nearby Long Beach. This Park located just outside the city perimeter. Staff friendly and helpful.
I drove through this park intending on staying; however, I left due to its limitations. This park is definitely right next to the Beach which is very nice, but all sites are lined up right next to each other with barely enough room for Slides. Definitely canned Sardines. One must back in as RV's are parked on either side of a central road. Staff friendly.
