Rating: 4 5 3 3 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: After checking in, we were given this route: north drive, right turn to east drive, left turn on main street, right turn into pull thru. There was a huge problem with the turn onto main street. It was a tight turn, there were 3 vehicles in front of trailers on main street at the turning point, there was a large bush and a utility post to the left and a large tree to the right. In trying to swing wide right, I was caught up in tree limbs. I called the office to advise I couldn't make that turn. She replied in a condescending manner, "others have made that turn". Fortunately a great employee there, Phyllis, showed up. She immediately saw the problem and took action to cut the tree limbs out of the way. She recognized the problem with the turn and suggested we take another route to our site...which we did. The site was grass and required leveling. There were no sewer hookups because of proximity to river. We figured no problem staying contained for three days. When we used the showers, we discovered they charged paying guests (like us) a dollar for five minutes. And they also charged a dollar a day for our very small dog. Also, no WiFi at our site. Laundry was 2 bucks a load each for both the washer and dryer. There were tent sites across the road from our site. There were two trash barrels near the tent site. Both were overflowing with trash! When we were pulling out, we discovered our landing gear was dragging because the site was a couple inches below the road level. We had to raise the wheels to get out. Needless to say, we won't be staying here again. We don't care to be nickled and dimed. - marvls
Primarily a place for people to fish and/or reside seasonally or permanently. This park is right along the banks of the Kalama River in a pretty setting, but it's also very close to I-5 and some train tracks. Given that it was early spring and cold and we didn't keep any windows open, we weren't bothered by noise from either. The office was closed when we arrived, but we were able to check in at the bar, where the bartender/owner/manager(?) broke off his cribbage game with the only customer in the place just long enough to get the job done. Our site was small, but adequate for our rig. The main restroom/shower building was closed ("we're remodeling it") and we didn't use the other facility which was farther away from our site so i can't comment on them. Besides the bar, there is a camp store and a small cafe where we had breakfast in the morning. Service was friendly, but the food was only so-so. Seems to be a popular place with the locals though. All in all, this is a pretty old, slightly run-down, basic sort of campground that will appeal mostly to those who want to fish the river in season. - BruceandKathyWA

Rating: 8 5 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: 4 days over Christmas....Had a blast! - Saddlesore
Stayed 3 days on our trip. Had a great view of the Columbia River and the traffic on the river. Did some nice touring while here. Now for the negatives. Their cable is faulty as you can't get a CBS channel, (tried antenna - no go) reported to office and they said we have that problem. Then the management allowed a motor home to park beside us at a bad angle so they encroached on our site - they were only 6 or 7 feet away yet these sites are nice and wide. Also be aware that the hookups are at the back of the site so you have to unhook a towed. All in all quite expensive for what you get. - Idletime
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Columbia Riverfront RV Park »I read all of the bad reviews, which appeared generally to be 3 to 10 years old. My experience was different. I left a phone message and received a return call within a few hours by the owner. She had me bring up the website map, and walked me thru the sites that were available. We picked one and I was quoted the price, minus tax. When I arrived several months later, the first thing the check-in person did was to ask if I had AAA or Good Sam. She asked to see my card, and the original quoted price was reduced by 10%. Our space was nice, level stone. The stone was a good size; not too big to interfere with your walking on it, and not so small to get stuck in your tire treads. The park is beautifully maintained. Two grassy areas near the office are off limits to pets. However, pets are allowed on the grassy area along the river, which is larger than two football fields. It is open in the middle and has large trees at either end. There is a sandy beach at the river's edge, but swimming is not recommended. A park employee stopped by and warned me about the Sheriff's Dept writing "Fire Lane" tickets if any part of your vehicle sticks out over the asphalt driveways. There was no fire lane signage so I was skeptical, but it was easy enough to pull my truck completely off the asphalt on to the level rock site. I can't tell you how often I've had trouble backing into a site because someone's vehicle is parked stick beyond there site. I had a dedicated electrical pedestal. But I did notice that some motorhomes drove straight into "back-in" sites (I guess to take advantage of the river view). This would put their hookups on the wrong side. There are a lot of written rules, but none of them seemed to affect me. I'm not sure what the local attractions are, but I'd return just to sit and watch the river flow by. - Quig

Rating: 3 3 6 4 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rude! Rude! Rude! From the moment of check in. We were there as traveling nurses from January-April this year. They claim to be pet friendly but they aren't. They expect you to walk a good block in the middle of the night to an area right off their property under a city bridge with no lights. It's scary. The town is safe enough but, as a woman, it freaked me out. Always looking over my shoulder for strangers. The manager is a witch. VERY RUDE! We were harassed about so many things and we felt like we had to suck up to keep the peace. The managers live in a house that sits above the RV sites with large windows and cameras everywhere. Big Brother is ALWAYS watching. It was weird. And we own a nice RV, are good, clean, professional people. We left as soon as we could and moved out to a friend's property. Would never go back again. It would be fine for a couple of nights but if you need a long term place to stay, think twice. Especially if you have kids or a pet. - goofygirl2004
People on the front desk very unfriendly. This place is run like a military base. The site was not plowed and we had to deal with trucking through snow. I would never stay here again. - pretty girl

We stay here in order to play the Lewis River Golf course which is 10 minutes away and beautiful. Tight quarters, full hook ups but no cable TV. We were able to get TV with Antenna, so still some Sunday night football! Clean Laundry facility. Office is filled with lots of info on surrounding area. Dinner at the local Mexican food restaurant was great. We camped here in a 34ft fifth wheel. - Centralcoaster

Rating: 9 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We are one of the locals and find it very accessible. Good central base station to sight see and visit. One hour from Portland the coast Mt St. Helen's. The grounds are kept up. We stay 2 times a year. - Larry1950
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hudson-Parcher Park »This is a county park, including playgrounds, play fields, ballfields, soccer, etc. There are only about 2 sites there are "big rig" friendly. In fact there is one entire loop that is tents/micro-trailers only. This is a very popular campground with the locals. While it was nearly full, only two of the guests were from out-of-town. There are many children's activities possible, between the playgrounds and ball-fields. We stayed there while attending a nearby meeting. If we were in the area, we would stay here again, and so would our friends that "camped" in a parking lot to attend the meeting. - wetterwashington

Rating: 8 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed here 6 nights while visiting mom..level site, 30/50 AMP and water..all good..lunch in lodge all week plus dinner most nights..great ER as she was very informative and helpful..good spot - Kaysha15
Open area for RV parking. Only 30AMP is available but a dump station is onsite. Great rate for Elks members and friendly staff during office hours. Lodge is locked during off hours and is next door to a church. Safeway and mall is right across the street. Grounds are compacted gravel but sites are level. Site are a tad short but for our 30ft and tow it was adequate. - ButterflyDogs
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Kelso-Longview Elks Lodge #1482 (Members Only) »A members only camping facility, but for Elks members this was set up very nice. All spots were pull-throughs, very convenient to I-5. You are camped on a dirt with a light rock base, so it could be dusty at times or muddy depending on weather. Very quiet at night, you do hear a train in the off distance, but did not seem to be bothered by it. We would definitely use this again if in the area. - monaco cruiser

Rating: 5 8 6 1 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The park is nice, but it is definitely overpriced. We're used to Passport America and Good Sam discounts and typically get much higher value for what we paid here. They even charge you for the showers. The site was not very level and was quite noisy because of its proximity to the road. There was no cable, but the air reception was good. Unfortunately, we were not able to hike the trails because of heavy rain, so we can't comment with respect to the natural scenery. On the plus side, the staff were very friendly. However, we would not return because of the high price. - John A Guderian
There is a new casino near this campground, and we are guessing that many of the people staying in the winter were at the casino. The campground was not crowded, and it was quiet. Most of the sites had some tree cover, but we picked one on the edge which did not. It is near (not exactly next to) the freeway (I-5). There is a lot of truck traffic, however the flip side is that this campground is very convenient to use and get back on I-5. There is also a new Shell station (which is quite expensive) in the same stop, so you can save yourself a second stop to get gas. There was certainly not any problems with the campground, but we paid less in Oregon the next night for a last minute reservation, for a nicer campground. Also, the website needs to be updated for WA State Parks. I talked to a Ranger later, and they said that they are only using the online reservation system for yurts and cabins, during the off season. This didn't seem as clear as it might be online. (Perhaps this is the fault of ReserveAmerica and not the parks.) In any case, many of us would gladly stay at a state park over any RV park - and they might get more off season business if it were clearer that this park (and Battle Ground Lake State Park), were open during the off seasons. - BScott33
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Paradise Point State Park »The staff is wonderful and very helpful. The camp host and volunteers were friendly and kept everything tidy. There were a few nights that the noise from the engine breaks on the semis was obnoxious, or a few other campers were less than friendly neighbors ,but the park itself was a fun adventure for my family of 5. The other guests were all nice and even helped us back our camper into our spot. Reserve online if possible, it gets busy! - The Bagner Bunch

Rating: 1 7 6 5 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We have stayed here a few times and initially enjoyed our stay. During this recent stay, we had horrible internet (something we had experienced once before), so we decided to leave after first night. Unfortunately we had paid for three nights. When we asked for a refund of the remaining two nights, they refused to give it to us. I honestly don't understand that. Definitely do not recommend. - Kelbud
We hadn't been at this park before. The office staff is very pleasant and helpful and check in was easy. All the spaces are VERY narrow and each space has a separate parking space for your tow/ed vehicle which is good because the interior roads are quite narrow as well. The pads are cement but ours wasn't particularly level and the sewer connections all seem to be uphill. Don't plan on spending time in your lounger as there isn't much "living space" between you & the rig next door but there are some nice grassy areas with trees & picnic tables if you want to sit outside. This park does not have cable and we were unable to get any channels on our antenna. Since we do not have a satellite it was pretty frustrating. We don't watch much TV but we do appreciate being able to see the evening news. There are 81 sites in this park and the laundry consists of 2 washers and 2 dryers so timing is everything. There is ONE coin-operated shower. We use the shower in our rig but thought it was pretty cheesy to charge people to shower when they are paying $40/night to stay there. The comments about traffic noise are quite accurate. The freeway traffic noise is constant but not horrible. But...the semi-trucks (and there are many) who Jake Brake all the way down the exit ramp (which is right next to the park) will set your teeth on edge...especially at 2am. It appears there are quite a few people living here year 'round but no eyesores. This is a great park for a dog as there are lots of places to go for walks. Across the road from the office is a small strip mall with a pizza place, a wine bar/bistro, a Subway and a Thai place, all with good food but there are no grocery stores closer than about 10 miles so plan accordingly. We might stop here for an overnight but another 2-week stay is not likely. - TwoE's
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Tri-Mountain RV Park »Staying here for a couple of days to get our RV worked on across Hwy 5 at the Western Star truck repair facility. Lady in office is very friendly and likable. Sites very close together but nice and clean with a picnic table. Great 30 amp power and great water pressure. Has free WiFi if you need it with a code. We would go outside and hear the I-5 noise but our Bluebird Wanderlodge is very well insulated so don't hear it when inside. All in all, a good value for the price. Would stay here again when in the area. - Bluebird Bob
