No road noise from I-80 a rarity for a KOA

Most recent stay was 6/16/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a Little Rig “Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We’re right across the road from the restroom/showers. It’s an older 50’s type facility clean & neat. Shower stalls are private with glass doors and very tight 3x3 I think – so is the adjacent changing area with a little stool/bench for seating, plus rubber floor mat for feet as you exit shower; includes a couple of hooks, but would like to see shelves added for your stuff. Also need hooks and shelves at the shared sink/vanity area. Updating the place including new fixtures would do wonders.

This is Wyoming after all and is more of a campground, not an RV Park per se. Gravel roadways and somewhat roomy, level mixed gravel & grass site pads with picnic table; large pull through site can accommodate Big Rigs. Some staggered back to back ~ back in sites; grounds include rental cabins and clean swimming pool, and tent sites all on flat ground. We’ve been here 4 time now ~ and will be back

Don’t pass this one by!

Most recent stay was 6/14/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a Little Rig "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We are return guests ~ several times; it’s one of the nicest rv parks on all of I-84 – but it’s not a campground believe they do not allow tents. Their restroom/shower/laundry facilities deserve a 5 star, very clean, very modern, and laid out in roomy 9x10 individual & private “home bathroom” style rooms each with a sink, toilet, shower stall, bench, shelf for your stuff, hooks for your clothes and towel, + a bonus towel bath mat for your feet as you exit the shower. Cooled by AC in summer months and heated during cooler months.

Rest of facilities also a 5 star paved interior roads, paved (level) site pads all pull through w/extension patio, picnic table, young shade trees, large lush grassy green-space between other sites, w/privacy fence between, full hookups w/cable and in-ground irrigation sprinklers, and of course a sparkling clean swimming pool All this for extremely reasonable price w/Good Sam Discount – believe me you’d pay much more for much less at other parks.

If you want nice, this is it; a camper’s campground among the pine trees

Highly recommend advanced reservations - It was full during our stay; very popular for access to Sisters, Redmond, Bend in high desert of Central Oregon. We’ve camped here regularly over several years and never disappointed

We did get close to restroom/hot shower building w/dishwashing station – this campground is well laid out with restrooms placed in middle of loops and sites circle all around for easy access. Showers are unisex private individual rooms + changing area with lockable door. Showers were clean full on tiled walls and floors w/hooks + shelves for your stuff and wall bench for seating. Not cramped at all and good water pressure and spray. Community restrooms and sinks are in another part of building.

Just awesome park for smaller RV’s up to 35’?, and tents with sturdy picnic table + fire pit + paved roadways + asphalt RV pads. Both full hook-ups and dry-camp. Some sites could be problem for the Big Rigs be sure to check site lengths. Only CON: No rv dump or potable water fill station. Find one at Creekside Municipal Campground in Sisters for a small fee $10.00

Shady park 5 miles off I-5 – Roseburg So Oregon Wine Country

Most recent stay was 05-01-2016 (I’m late on my reviews) We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table & set up our dining canopy for sun/ weather protection so we rely on condition of campgrounds facilities being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

Locking gate for security, paved roadways, lots of shade trees, large level grassy sites with gravel for the rv and cement patio with picnic table – not crowded at all. The seclusion is nice away from noise of city and the interstate – older park 50’s era with some monthly full timers scattered about but still everything is neat and well kept.

Got a site close to restroom/showers which is in a cement block building; they were very clean although old and outdated from the fixtures/sinks, vanity, toilet, & shower stalls and reason for 3 star rating. A trip to local Home Depot would do wonders for the place. The shower area is large and includes private dressing area in each stall, including a rubber mat when you step out of the fiberglass shower, with hooks for towels and clothes, a shelf, and a corner bench – perfect set up. Wish they had hooks and shelves at community sink area a convenience necessity that many campgrounds seem to ignore. Older washers / dryers that work.

Nice RV Park + Campground yes – RV Resort Not

Most recent stay was 05-13-2016 (I’m late on my reviews) We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table & set up our dining canopy for sun/ weather protection so we rely on condition of campgrounds facilities being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We were in the older section of park across bridge but still very neat and tidy. Obvious upgrades and remodel done with pedestal sinks and nice secure /private tiled showers/fiberglass stalls that were not cramped + changing area w/nice corner bench. Extra nice touch was rubber floor mats when you exit shower, + shelves w/hooks for all your stuff / same as at the sink area – wish all parks would have these. Paved roads, cement pads, good space between sites w/vegetation green-space that included picnic table w/plenty mature shade trees.

Newer section is in back of property on office side of river – boasts a separate building with modern clubhouse/private restroom/showers + a laundry. Also larger big rig rv sites + 3 yurts and 1 cabin that can be rented if you don’t have an tent or rv . There’s a pool and small playground. Overall a nice RV park/campground

CONS: Just 1 – our picnic table was too small w/narrow table top – only for 2 people

Big Rig RV Park - ok for little rigs too

Most recent stay was 04-27-16 [I’m late with submitting my review] ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining fly for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

Got a spot 3 sites from restrooms all heated which were very nice with tiled walls and floors; appearing to newer – maybe last 5 years or so with 2 large stalls ~ sink vanity area is roomy giving entire facility a 5 star rating. Sure would have been nice and more convenient if it had shelves and hooks in shower and sink area for your stuff.

CONS: Picnic table too small and not movable – need grassy strip between sites so we could set up our dinning fly – didn’t see any tents set up – not a recreational park no activities

PROS: Excellent restrooms – large cement pads – sparkling pool - park with locking gate at night after 7:00 access with code – great for big rigs and perfect overnight stop for little RV’s like us

An average campground where a little TLC would go a long ways

Most recent stay was 04-26-16 [I’m late with submitting my review] ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining fly for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

Evidence this was once KOA; with A-Frame shape of office building and sites all crammed close together with about a 4’ strip of grass between barely room for the small picnic table. It’s an older park – we got lucky close to restroom with an asphalt pad while many others were on gravel - didn’t need any blocks to level. Older shower / restroom facility but kept clean – looking at gallery of pictures on their web site, appears they “spruced up” the restroom/shower facility since we stayed their. I included our pictures and notice the apparent improved difference. Still don’t know if they have the older fixtures and my comments were to improve by doing some painting and upgrading the fixtures, replacing the rubber floor mats, in and outside of shower stalls, adding conveniences of hooks and shelving for your stuff. The stalls are very tight 3’, I think, and changing area same that includes a small stool. Sink and vanity area is roomy, but again no hooks or shelves to hold your stuff.

Also appears they improved overall appearance of the park with added gravel and sprucing up - Park is in industrial area along side of freeway, but sound barrier wall kept noise at bay – newer shopping center complex close by [approx 3 mi] with Wal-Mart and Home Depot as anchor stores with many others.

A Public Campground that won't Disappoint

Most recent stay was 04/05/2016 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop style RV" only 15' long w/o toilet or shower and thus rely on campgrounds facilities ~ so our critique is focused in that area.
All PROS - no CONS, just a perfect setting for a public campground without the crowding and commercialism of the private campgrounds you normally find at the privates. The best thing is, this Jackson County public facility has full hookups, asphalt pads, sturdy well maintained picnic tables with fire ring + a newer more modern bathhouse with hot showers that are full on ceramic tiled walls ~ individual private rooms with locking doors. There is a soap dish, hooks for your stuff and a bench in each room ~ wear your clogs. You have to enter another door in same building for the restrooms and sinks [wish they had hooks and shelves in there for your stuff]. The grounds are kept neat and tidy ~and~ you have a view of the lake from every site. Best campsites are in "The Point" campground #'s 12 thru 20 are excellent, but really there's no "bad" site. Also - registered campers do NOT pay the $4.00 entrance fee ~ it's included with your stay.
Wish they had better signage directing you to "The Point" ~ as you enter the main part of the park, there IS a sign with an arrow, but it does not direct you to “the Point” it’s for a different campground in the park; you have to continue straight on the main road to reach "The Point". When / if traveling through southern Oregon, we wouldn't hesitate to stop here again ~ but strongly suggest making a reservation as it's quite popular.

If you want nice this is it~Modern RV Park

Most recent stay was 05-12-2016 (I’m late on my reviews) We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table & set up our dining fly for sun/ weather protection so we rely on condition of campgrounds facilities being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We did get close to restroom/shower roomy very clean and modern w/full on tiled walls and floors w/secure private stalls and changing area. Lots of hooks for stuff, padded bench folds against wall in changing area. Good water pressure and hot. High ratings well deserved for modern restrooms & facilities, paved roadways, and all level paved sites which do not crowd your neighbor. Large pull through spaces, nice LEVEL picnic table with metal plate on 1 end for camp stove

CONS – did not like Astro turf could not set up out dining canopy over table. Sewer connect w/concrete surround encroaches neighbor site Definitely a Big Rig park, but ok for little rig overnight stay and not suitable for tents. Wish they had rubber floor mats as you exit shower + shelves in changing area and hooks/ shelves at sink/vanity area
