Laughing Alpaca Campground + RV Park
Reviewed Nov. 19, 2023

Small RV park in a convenient location

General: This RV Park is conveniently located between Grants Pass and the Oregon Caves National Monument, which is why we chose it. 

Site Quality: All RV sites are FHU and level, and the road and camper pads are a dirt/gravel mix. There is also a tent area. Some sites back up to the road with loud road noise but you will hear some road noise from all sites. Some sites (ours included) back up to the Illinois River with a filtered view through the trees. Typical RV layout and although there are plentiful trees throughout, there is little separation/privacy between sites. 

Bath/Shower House: Women’s was clean with three stalls (one was out of order) and two showers. There were no hooks on the stall doors so make sure you look underneath before opening a door! Did not use the shower. 

Activities/Amenities: Other than the caves, we could not find much to do in the off-season. There is direct river access but in mid-October, the weather no longer cooperated for water activities. There are some nearby wineries. There is a laundry room but did not use it. Our first night was very different from the second. The first, It appeared we were only one of two “campers” and that everyone else was a month-to-month resident but by the second night, all river sites were occupied (in advance of the Eclipse). 

The owners were very welcoming. I asked how the RV park got its name and was told the owners love alpacas. Unfortunately for us, they had already been relocated to a warmer climate for the season. In warmer weather, we would have enjoyed interacting with the alpacas and getting out on the river.
