Review Date: Sat June 28, 2014 Would you recommend the campground? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3 

 
Pros: Access
Cons: "big rig friendly" really depends on the staff at the time; Office usefulness has steadily deteriorated; vegetation overgrowth has overcome the staff; the water supply is of poor quality/actually "stinks"

We have stayed here annually for over 5 years - and probably will again because of mandatory visit to Corvallis. but we would no longer recommend it for the traveler that has a choice.

This last visit was the worst: the phone was actually busy over such a long period of time we thought they had finally closed [no "your call is important to us, please hold while..."]; after telling them our exact length - they seem to have carefully picked the one spot [of many open] where access would require 15 minutes of careful maneuvers

They have also succumbed to the Tengo WiFi scheme - for "free internet access"

Review Date: Mon July 13, 2015 Would you recommend the campground? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 2 

 
Pros: fairly easy access off I15
Cons: Staff; Wifi still iffy; landscape needs serious trim [bushes/small trees]; short pull throughs

We have stayed here for years [family in area] - yet seldom felt welcomed. this year the park seems to be slipping even more.

trash is significantly overflowing - and no sign of their caring

Pros: KOA - so one can make online reservations
Cons: grounds still need attention; staff remains unfriendly; Wifi iffy

staff unchanged in their NON-welcome attitude - this year: when asked where car should go if it did not fit in spot, 'received a "Owners" will catch you if you hang into the street.

when i mentioned that hanging into the street was not my intention [that is why i asked about alternate parking], i received a completely blank stare. i am disappointed that "Owners" is a threat word to someone trying to be a good citizen camper [i believe i uttered something about the gestapo on the way out the door!]
