My husband made a last minute decision to switch our camping plans from Bogachiel State Park to Three Rivers- boy, am I ever glad that he did! We stayed in a half hook-up site from 7/17- 7/22/12. All of the RV sites were easy access, either pull through or, in our case, on the bend of the little road running through our area. The campground is absolutely beautiful, with woodsy sites featuring picnic tables and firepits. We felt like we were camping further out in the woods even though we were only about 100 or so yards away from LaPush Rd. We had easy access to the Quileute village in LaPush (6 mi) and its beaches, Rialto Beach (2 mi), Forks (7 mi), and other sights in the area (Klaloch Beach, Hoh Rain Forest, Sol Duc Falls & Hot Springs).
The atmosphere at Three Rivers is very friendly. The two sisters who own it, Ruby & Donna, are total sweethearts, as are their husbands. They keep the campground & facilities very clean. Ruby even went out of her way to look up an old WSU dorm friend of mine who lives in Forks. We met a nice couple who are long-time Three Rivers campers and spend the whole summer there; they couldn't say enough nice things about Three Rivers. My husband would like to go back next year and try a guided fishing trip with our son.
We really enjoyed the Three Rivers restaurant which we ate at most days. The restaurant was pretty reasonably priced and the burgers were good. My mouth waters thinking about the Werewolf burger- YUM! We tried the new Bigfoot pizza and were pleased. Our son loved the shakes. The young women who work in the restaurant were all friendly and very customer service oriented. My favorite was sweet, shy Gloria, who gave me some great tips for enjoying Quileute Days (her mom runs an Indian tacos stand during the yearly celebration- be sure to try them if you get the chance!). The restaurant boasts a rustic, outdoorsy theme in the main section, with a Twilight theme in the back room. I enjoyed having my photo taken with a lifesize Jacob Black cutout. As for the connected store, it was well-stocked with small incidentals that you might find you need at the last minute. I was particularly grateful for the decent DVD rental section.
The only reason I couldn't give Three Rivers Resort five stars is because the bathroom situation was sometimes aggravating. Though I can appreciate being able to do your business in private, with only one toilet/sink per gender you are often left standing outside the bathroom for quite a long time while you wait for someone else to finish up (especially when it's a woman in there doing her hair & makeup). Generally we don't use the toilet in our trailer but I was forced to on many occasions during our stay at Three Rivers. There's only one shower per gender, which are kept very clean. I didn't have as much trouble getting into the shower as I did getting into the bathroom. I did have an issue with the coin operated shower not giving me as much time as I'd paid for, which forced me to make a wet & sudsy trek across the parking lot to the store. Donna apologized and very graciously provided me with more than enough coins to finish my shower- THAT is customer service! If the owners would expand the bathroom & shower facilities to accommodate more people I would gladly give Three Rivers a five star rating.
Overall, our stay was a very good experience. We will be back! read more
