Stay at the Marina, Walk to the beach!

The "facility" is just a few parking spots with hook ups, at the end of the Marina. You have room to park a car and put out your awning, but not much more - check the picture. There is some shade and a nice view of the boats in the marina. But it has its upside - I gave it 3 stars for the location and convenience to the beach and restaurants at the marina. The location is probably worth more stars. You can walk to the Crowsnest on the beach (and other restaurants) for dinner which has fantastic views and great food at really amazing prices. The service is just ok but you can get a $50 dinner for $20.

The guy who takes your rez and "greets" you should not be in a job dealing with the public. He will ignore you until he is ready, he will not take your money until he has you parked to his satisfaction and puts his little cone in front of your rig. Well, he's not friendly, but he get's it done and that's just your first hour - so you can recover. The marina is nice and lighted at night and has lots of places to walk your dog. It's no RV resort but a great place to park to walk and bike Santa Cruz. We ended up extending a day. Make a rez because it was full in November.

Great Location for San Antonio River Walk

This park is very well maintained and pretty, once inside the grounds. It looks a bit dated but has some tall shade trees and 50amp service. It's not the best surrounding neighborhood outside the park , but it does feel safe and it's close to downtown San Antonio (5 mi). It has a trailhead right at the park, to the River trail system, which are well maintained trails that run along the river with picnic tables, parks and kayak access. The laundry facility is nice, with 8 washers and 8 dryers which are inexpensive ($1.25). It has good cable, a chlorine pool and jacuzzi with nice chairs, lounges and umbrellas, a huge hall, a nice sized fenced dog park and a nice playground for the kiddos. The office has some good supplies available.

There are a few downsides like they have quite a few old broken down junky trailers around which bring the place down a bit, too. The outbuildings are in pretty bad shape on the outside. But overall I give the place 4 stars because the facility is above average and a great base to explore San Antonio. There is even a very convenient bus (42) that picks up right in front and takes you downtown and back for $2.75 for an all day pass.

The wifi is Tengo, which is spotty and they limit you to 2 devices which is silly. We would return and recommend to friends. The lady in the office has worked here for 25 years and is fantastic and full of helpful info and coupons.

They offer a Good Sam and AAA discount. We paid $118 for 3 nights after tax and our discount.

Shady retreat

Good base camp for exploring Astoria and surrounding coast. It's heavily wooded (dark), damp and can be muddy in some spots. Their "reservation" system is silly, if you roll in after Ranger hours (9am-11am), you can only pay for a spot for one night, then you have to move. Some pull-throughs for RVs, be careful you chose one with a dump/sewer. The trash is very inconvenient at one location, so haul it out! They have a cool ship wreck and you can drive on the beach with your 4x4. Be sure you don't miss the Columbia River Maritime Museum and the fantastic view from the pizza top floor at Fort George Brewery.

Great Little Grassy park

The website doesn't do it justice, this is a lovely park. Call ahead for reservations, they were full. Nice spacious spots with lush grass and tall trees that offer a bit of shade. There are even apple trees they allow you to pick for a snack.
