I was just passing by but they offered water at $3 per 40 gallons and $7 to dump. Best price I found around. Lady in the office was extremely nice.

This is a decent rv park with good amenities, friendly service and fair pricing. There's plenty of wildlife, a pond and the beautiful N. Umpqua River is just across the street. Many pull thru sites with full hookups.

Such a clean, quiet and safe place in an amazing location for an affordable price. Tammy and Tom are 2 of the kindest landlords I've had at an RV park in Oregon. I've mostly had negative experiences. I was lucky enough to score a monthly site here for several months. I worked nights in the hospital and everyone was so considerate of my sleep schedule. Neighbors were respectful and friendly. The river is across the road with public access to deep swimming holes. I would give 100 stars if I could.

The resort has its beauty for sure and great potential to be much better. There are ponds, a beautiful looking lodge, lovely trees and green grass, with plenty of space between the RV’s so a person wouldn’t feel packed in like sardines. HOWEVER, when we drove through recently, we noticed a manufactured home inside the resort that doesn’t look very well maintained. It looked run down and had a lot of stuff piled around it, as well as several junky cars parked next to it under a tree that appear to not have been moved/driven in some time. We also noticed that there were a number of older run down looking RV’s, and that many of the tenants were allowed to pile stuff under and around their RV, which made the overall appearance of the resort look a bit undesirable. The ponds, though wonderful to have there, can not be seen very well as they are mostly hidden behind thick shrubbery and brush. The ponds themselves are also coated with thick green algae, which could be removed with chemicals or even naturally with fish that eat algae and plants that help prevent algae from being able to grow. I also spoke with the lady who was filling in for the managers who are currently away, and she was unprofessional and rude. So for that I give it one star. But, I feel with a bit of clean up on many levels it could be a great place.

Nice, large sites with picnic tables, full hookups, and grass. You can bass fish in the ponds. Very fair price for daily rate. Easy check-in in the log cabin house to the left and back when you pull into the resort. The laundry was really nice, $1.50 each for wash/dry. Perfect location for Umpqua waterfalls. The Umpqua river has fishing, swimming, tubing.. I loved it. Local bar with super good food that serves the menu until about 10pm just 1/2 mile away.
