The resort provides spacious pull-through RV pads suitable for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels with 50-amp service available. "Clean, well maintained RV spots just steps away from Foster Lake," notes one visitor about the layout of the resort. Nearby, Edgewater RV Resort and Marina features waterfront RV sites with 30-amp electrical hookups, water, and sewer connections, positioned close to Foster Lake with convenient boat access for RV travelers bringing watercraft. Both resorts maintain clean facilities with showers and restrooms, though sites are typically positioned close together with limited privacy.

According to one visitor, "This is a great weekend location with Sweet Home and Green Peter nearby, and a great first park if you're new to RVs with sites in very good condition and easy in and out."

GuideBlue Ox RV Park
Very nicely kept RV park in Albany,OR 2 minutes off of I5 N/S. 30 minutes from Salem, 20 minutes to Corvallis. Firm rules keep this park quiet, tip top and clean. This sites are close together, level paved with limited established foliage. The park offers laundry and indoor pool for campers. The staff is accommodating and friendly. We would recommend this RV Park for a stopover or extra nights for launch point to access the surrounding area. There is an RV repair center directly next door if problems arise and acres of soccer/softball fields adjacent to the RV park if you travel either kids or pets that need to stretch their legs.

My dog and I were attacked here. Park Host admitted she should have kicked them out
It would be 5 stars if it was not for my experience. That should never have happened. Park Host admitted she should have evicted vicious dog owners. $2k vet bill, I have a broken pinky that is still open and they wanted to do surgery on. No supervisor has called me. Barely an apology. So if you want to take those kinds of risks. Also they DO NOT honor online reservations. They allow people to stay who are not paid up and take sites that have been reserved online. Management needs to step in! This could be a 5 star park if managed at all. What happened to my dog and I could have been a child, killed. But they don't seem to care?

Foster Lake RV Resort
Please explain how a resort is located adjacent to a noisy mill?
I lived in Sweet Home for 30 years. It's fun visiting in my RV, but this place is quite silly. Very noisy log trucks coming and going. Let's call a spade a spade and stop being silly.
Four pages of rules. They are terrified of being sued. So don't use the pool cuz you certainly can't have fun. Not allowed to leave your dogs in your RV is a big surprise rule. You should have ALL of your rules posted on your website. Not hard to find and a very small list.
I've been to lots of RV parks now. You are just like them. I would think a resort would be quiet, peaceful, room to spread out, and have a nice time. This is crammed, like everywhere. Very noisy. Uncomfortable to even try to explore the "resort" as there are many rules and signs posted everywhere. Reminding you what not to do. And cowgirl or cowboy? I'm just shaking my head over this stuff.
A real world look at what someone experiences here might benefit your customers but I'm sure you are raking the money in. So no worries. I cannot imagine how tourists feel when they come here. It is nothing like your website. I already knew but I thought people DESERVE HONESTY. NOT LIES. Not a resort. A park next to a very noisy mill across the street from a lake. No fires. No tables. No dog area except one which is camera monitored. Very uncomfortable place to be.

Shamrock Village RV And Mhp
Nice river, mid everything else
I called to reserve 2 nights & was told I would be at a full hookup site. When I arrived on a Sunday the office was closed and the papers they left had me at a site with partial hookups. When I went to resolve the issue with the office the next day they said there is no price difference between full hookup and partial hookup sites and told me to dump at a 76 ten mins away. Felt shady/scammy. No rates posted anywhere.
The electrical hookup and water hookup were about 40 feet apart. You will likely need 50 feet of hose to use the water hookup.
The riverfront site was pretty, but my neighbors left dog poop all over their stretch of lawn and neighbors on the other side also left trash all over their site. No privacy and pretty noisy throughout the night. Bathrooms were clean.

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Beautiful Forest
Beautiful camping sites. Very busy. Lots of families and people. Roads are very windy and curvy be extra cautious. Wish we had more time so much to explore. If you bring your dog, you will be very limited on where you can hike too. RV sites are pretty private. Bathrooms and showers look brand new. And Camp post are extremely kind and polite.

Good Public Park
Paved almost level sites with 30A and potable water. Flush toilets with hot water sinks in restrooms. Individual showers. Easy walk to day use lake area with docks. Lots of shade. Dump station CLOSED. Free Eugene Municipal Dump Station at 410 RIVER AVENUE... NOT 410 River Road! CHEVRON STATION dump not there anymore! Wish the listed campground alternative dump info would have been correct...

Gills Landing RV Park
Beautiful spot next to the river
There are lots of trails right nearby. Easy bike or drive to town. There are some locals that go through who are loud or look like trouble but I wasn't bothered by anyone. And I am a single woman with a dog traveling alone. I had the site next to the trial and overall there was less noise than I expected. The train is quite loud when it rolls through but that was only during the day. As long as you have no problem keeping an eye on things, it's a great place to stay. I would recommend people to stay here even with kids.
