Run down park & great staff

I was camping in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides. This park is located right off a major highway. Numerous sites, but very ill kept and had a run down appearance. Full hook ups, but site was very lumpy and grass dead. They have a pool, shower and laundry, but I did not check them out. Very limited area in the back for walking your dog. Some sites were very close to each other and some a reasonable distance. Staff was helpful and friendly. Very expensive for the condition of this park. Good for a one nighter.

Clean, noisy- horrid staff

This RV Park is located right off the northbound I-5. It is very clean & manicured. Full hook ups, laundry & showers. Sites are packed tightly next to each other on concrete pads. Several of the sites were being used by long term users. Dog walking area to the back of the park. Fast food and restaurants close by. I would of given this Park a 3 solely do to the freeway and cramped conditions; however, I am giving this park a 1 due to their staff person MARY. Mary was probably the most horrid person I have ever met traveling which includes Europe and the USofA. I made 3 trips to the office in the morning in order to acquire change for the laundry. On each trip, the door was locked & no answer to the buzzer although I could hear a TV on. After the third trip, I called a phone number that was listed on the door thinking that she couldn't hear the buzzer over the TV. I discovered during the course of the conversation that I had called some other location that was later revealed to be the Corporate Office! There was absolutely nothing on the sign that indicated that it was the Corporate number. The person who answered indicated that they would contact Mary. I left to check my laundry and when I returned to the office, I was met by a fire-breathing heathen "Mary" who proceeded to dress me down for calling the Corporate Office. She admonished me that I was NEVER to call this number again that it was for emergencies only. When I tried to defend myself and explain, she continued to ridicule and criticize me to the extent she would be fine if I never returned again! She inferred that she was cleaning; however, I had been all over that park with my two dogs, made numerous trips back and forth from my Rig to the laundry and the office and never once did I see Mary anywhere on the grounds. Make your own conclusions, but in any event, I was so shaken by this encounter that I had my Rig packed and disconnected within 20 min. I found myself too emotionally distracted to drive and had to stop at a restaurant for an hour to compose myself. I will NEVER stay at this park again for any reason.

Romantic, but noisy

This small park is right below HWY 14. It is very scenic and picturesque as it overlooks the Columbia River. There is an upper and lower level with the upper level being the most scenic. Anything over 30-35' would have difficulty although there was one 40' on the Upper level. Sites are gravel with full hook up, picnic table and grassy areas. Laundry and shower available, but did not use. Grounds were well kept although Upper level had a problem with Golfers in grassy areas. There is significant road noise from the highway above and the railroad below which runs along the Columbia River; otherwise, I would give this Park a 5. Plenty of areas to walk the dogs. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Something for everybody

This used to be a private membership only RV Park; however, it is now open to the public. It is a huge RV Park, with wide open spaces, plenty of play areas for kids, walking the dogs, two pools, hiking and so forth. Camped here in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides. Takes all size Rigs with full hook ups. Plenty of shade trees and vegetation. Pads are dirt or gravel and on the most part level. Membership only sites are clearly marked, public sites are just as nice. Laundry, bathrooms w/showers, but didn't use. Grocery store with small restaurant. Wifi is only within the 10 closest sites to restaurant. No cell service, but store has a phone for a nominal charge. Everything seemed well kept for this size of a RV Park. On-site staff were not on duty, but staff at the restaurant/store were and extremely friendly and helpful. This park is open year round although it is close to Mt. Rainier. I would stay again and for an extended period.

Camp disappointment

This RV Park is NOTHING like what is portrayed on their website which in my opinion was a total misrepresentation. This RV PARK is actually located approximately half block from the main highway through town. It sits amongst trees with dirt or dried grass throughout. Roads are a lumpy dirt gravel mix. The RV's and campers were right off these dirt roads which appeared cramped. I did not stay although my trip was planned with this RV Park in mind. The Attendant was friendly, but had very limited knowledge about area services.

Positive mixed bag

I camped in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides. Full hook up, lots of trees, grassy areas with picnic table outside your Rig. Reasonable distance between you and your neighbor. Very clean park. Dog areas are limited and located right outside the park within a reasonable walking distance. Laundry, showers and a pool, but didn't use. Definite highway and Industrial business noise at all times. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would stay again, but not for any length of time.

Free laser light show!

Located right on HWY 174. Gravel & dirt pads, limited grassy areas. Poor walking areas for dogs. Highway noise continuously. They had laundry and showers which were open to the general public. Full hook ups & will take a big Rig, but limited number of spaces which were close together. Staff very friendly and helpful. For free they will shuttle campers nightly to the Grand Coulee Dam laser light show. The laser light show is worth seeing, but not a heart stopper. I stayed in a 28' Class A with 2 Slides on a Thursday night. I would stay here again only for a one nighter.
