What you should know
Site size limitations: RV sites in Albany-area parks can be restrictive for larger rigs. "Overall site was clean and well maintained. Sites were level and good WiFi. Bathhouse was clean and modern. Some road noise since it's close to the highway."
Noise factors: Highway and airport noise affects some campgrounds. "While the park is nice and well maintained, the B lot backs right up to the highway with unbearable road noise. Had two nights planned but will be leaving after the first."
Residential character: Many parks have long-term residents. "Not at all what I was expecting. The photos that others have posted about this place are VERY deceiving. It looks very peaceful and park-like, however its right next to a POWER STATION."
