My recommendation as an RV destination depends on your situation.
I do NOT recommend this place as your destination for a multi-day visit to Beaver Bend and Hotchatown.
I do recommend it as an overnight way point.
And if staying in one of the cabins, sorry, I can't help you make a decision.
First the good. The owners take obvious pride in their property. It's clean. Spots include thoughtful touches such as motion activated lighting. Everything is fairly new. The bathroom while small (one toilet stall, one shower in Mens) is clean. A family restroom is available which is a nice touch. A small but functional playset is available. This park had one of the strongest, fastest, and most reliable WiFi hot spots we've seen in an RV park. Also, a few small businesses are adjacent and easily walking distance including grocery, coffee shop, winery, mini golf, and go-karts. These are all of the reasons why I would say it's fine to stay at this location overnight.
So here is what I didn't like, in 3 simple terms:
1. Noise and utility feel. This RV park is along the 259 highway, a major artery through the area, and most of the RV spots -- I would guess all of them actually -- are going to hear lots of highway noise. Majority of RV spots have no tree cover. So you are in an RV parking lot, along a major road, with no shortage of motorcycle, truck, car etc sounds. If you are visiting the area to get away from the city life, hoping for a spot nestled in nature, perhaps along a stream or hillside, this is not it. In addition, I'm not sure if this is the owner, people staying in the cabins, or something else... but I observed utility trucks -- some with small trailers -- coming through the park in the evening with some frequency that would see unnecessary for the park's size.
2. Safety. There are no gates, video cameras, or other features to keep out those who are not supposed to be there. There are no speed bumps, signs with posted speed limits, or signs warning of kids playing to keep traffic moving slow-- and far majority of vehicles moved at an appropriate snail's pace in the park, some drove too fast for my comfort. While nothing of ours was stolen, and our 2 small children weren't in apparent danger, given that the main highway was less than an estimated 50' from our trailer; I didn't feel like our stuff was secure or safe.
3. Disorder. At the time of our stay, no refunds are given within 30 days and -- no spots are assigned or reserved specifically. So when we showed up, we got whatever spot was available physically. I guess this could be OK -- but given that the park had vacancy when we checked in, I would have thought and preferred to have been given the best possible spot at the time of our reservation. The roads weren't designed particularly well within the small space. This is the first park I've every stayed in where a single road that is only one-vehicle wide was used for two-way traffic (for owner's reference, I'm referring to the middle road between the largest sites and the bathrooms). There is no walkway from the far spots to the bathrooms and dump site, meaning that you MUST walk through someone's camp to get to those spots. Something I have tried to teach my kids not to do in other places.
At one point during our short weekend stay our 30 amp power breaker appeared to get reset. I also noticed that the water initially coming out from our spout was brown and very dirty -- it got clear after a short while. We use an in-line Camco filter and also Brita pitchers inside, and the water once filtered like that tasted great.
So that's it. I am not a full timer, but I have spent over 30 nights 'camping' in RV parks while traveling close to 5,000 miles this summer. I hope both potential guests and the owners of this park find this review of benefit. Thank you. read more
