A bit nickel and dimed

This little hot springs pool and RV park is a bit out of the way but it's generally a fun little place to go.  The RV sites are small and very, very close together.  Four sites shared hookups and even a fire pit.  We brought our own firepan so we didn't have to fight for a pit. There is lots of shade from the mature trees.

Swimming isn't included (or discounted) in the sites and will cost you an additional $8 per swimmer or $4 if you just want to watch.  They even want you to pay them to just be in the park as well as additional cars.  At some point, you can't help but feel a bit nickel and dimed as they try to charge you for just about every little thing.

The swimming is fun but the pool quickly gets crowded.  Most of the park is getting run-down and overall it doesn't feel very organized or regulated.  There were people coming in from all directions, switching spots, and all sorts of chaos during the day and into the night.  Guests were up being loud well into the 3 AM hour.  We had a major moth bug problem and I heard others complaining as well… moths everywhere!  We'll probably swim again sometime but probably not camp.  Can't win them all I guess.

First to Review
Busy but nice!

This RV park is on the south side of Wallowa Lake nestled on the river that feeds the lake. They have 49 full hookup sites and they definitely pack them in there. We opted for a river site which is dry camping but much quieter and a bit more dispersed.

The area is a great little getaway with a myriad of activities to do. Besides the lake there is a (pretty expensive) tram that takes you up the mountain, go carts, miniature golf, discovery centers, museums, etc.

The park was clean and well maintained. Although it was great to have the river right out your front window we constantly had others encroaching on our site trying to get at the river. A simple sign to direct others to river access would have been appreciated.

Overall we really enjoyed the park and area.

Nice but it was H-O-T!

Campground was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately we went on the hottest day of the year and got cooked. The car said it was 111F! No real trees to speak of for shade so we spent the entire day in the water. It cooled off at night but got a bit gusty.

We had to cut our trip a day early but hope to go back under better circumstances!
