Chinook RV Resort

Campground with large, grassy, shaded sites. Small children’s playground.. Some back-ins sites are shaded. Separate tent area. Small store with game room, puzzles, and books to share. Clean bathrooms with small showers, abundant heated water. If you want a quiet site far from the city and traffic noise, this is your place.

I made my reservation 6 months early. 1 month prior to my stay I get a call that they have a new owner and the discounts they agreed to were no longer available. To make up for this they guaranteed me site 36 which is a river-view site, no problem. Then a week before the stay they call me and say I can only have site 36 for 1 week. I tell them to stick with what they agreed to, but they would not. I would avoid this park as they have to integrity.

We stayed here on a Saturday night in mid August and had no problem getting a spot. We paid $28.50 (incl tax) with Passport America for full hookups, so expect to pay double that without the discount. They also offer Good Sam, AAA, and veteran discounts.

Showers were decent. Clean enough, water pressure and temperature were fine. There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers (at $1.50 for wash and $1 for dry) that worked well. The park offers wifi but signal is very weak/ unusable unless you use the wifi offered in the office/community room. There are a few basic (very basic) snack and food items for sale in the office. There is also a pool table available for use. 

Park has dumpsters but no recycle bins. 

Park is right on the Klamath River and is very peaceful and fairly quiet, other that hearing your neighbor’s TV in their RV because the sites are packed so tightly together. We were told by another long time resident that the place isn’t usually this packed and should quiet down at the end of summer. There are tent sites and a group camping area. We were told by the office staff that RVs are welcome to dry camp in the tent area, though we aren’t sure how that would work with fitting an RV in the tent area as the gate was tight. We asked if the RV would be able to dump and fill water and the staff person wasn’t sure and would have to check with owner. 

There is a fire pit set up on a little cozy deck on the water. Office staff was very friendly but park owners seemed not to be. It’s possible that they don’t take kindly to Passport America guests. While walking our dogs out on the main road, two dogs from two properties over came charging out at us, teeth bared, ready to fight. By some miracle our yells and screams were enough to get them to back off. The owner stood there, watching the commotion, and didn’t say a word to us when we were walking past her on our way back to our RV. Just seemed odd. We were also told by another long time resident that this park double booked sites for the July 4th weekend and had to turn people away when they showed up for their reservations. Just something to keep in mind for this place. 

Propane for sale here at $2.80/gal.  

Good cell reception with ATT and Verizon and weak TMobile.
