The RV spots are nice. The bathrooms/showers could use some updates or a really good cleaning. The showers for RV guests are free.

I don’t even want to leave a review because I don’t want this spot to become popular! lol Really small RV park but I still gave 5 stars because they were very accommodating and affordable. We kept adding a night because we were so comfortable. It was a perfect quiet spot even with small paved trails to the Bay. If you’re traveling with a boat this would be perfect being they have a dock on the bay. We looked last minute for campsites and this site was close enough to sleep at night and get up in the morning and explore northern western Oregon also being 20 mins from Portland. Definitely will come back again whenever we come up north to visit Oregon again. Only thing is it doesn’t have sewer hook ups but does have a dump station for $25 bucks, but considering the price for each night totally worth it!

This place is clean. They dont tell you showers cost coins. I left in my notes when paid I was in a standard minivan. Nothing mentioned about that. I woke up the next morning and was putting everything away and the guy says, are you packing up your tent? I said no, I created a rv out of my minivan. Then he proceeded to tell me that they don't usually allow this kind of vehicle to be used because they've had problems with people sleeping in their cards at their campground. I flat out said I don't agree with that. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that. It is a CAMP ground. Emphasizing what their place was. They are an UPPITY place, they don't tell you, you need coins for the showers even, so I only was able to use the sink in the 1 of 2 full bathrooms they had. The bathrooms aren't technically on the campground. They're outside of the campground in the boat parking lot, and when the guy said my was not usually allowed, but said that, if I had a standard rv style camper van, I would have been okay, but they hopetonsee ke back soon. I told them I would never be back, ever. I will not push this place in any way, shape l, or form for anything good about it to anyone.

RV camping was lovely. Space marked reserved, we were notified of the space # before arrival. Great for the price of $35/night w/water and power. Minor complaints, shower takes quarters (didn't have any), dump station cost $20, I was told...

Clean, nicely landscaped and quiet at night. There are walking trails behind the campground and access to fishing asking the shoreline. The camp is next to a martins, so bring your boat, kayak or SUP board for some fun on the water. Black Cherry trees are at their peak early July and free to pick. Water and electric available and one pull through site. Friendly staff. No other camp amenities, firewood sales, camp store or playground, just basic camping and outdoor fun.
