Surprisingly pleasant

Agree with previous reviews. Quiet area on the Oregon side of the river, rustic with a little country charm. Nice folks. Great area for birding (osprey nests). Or park your chair on the bank and watch the occasional ship putter by just a stone's throw from shore.

Nice setting, hot showers

Enjoyed 2 nights here in a 20 ft trailer while exploring Ashland and Jacksonville nearby. Sites are tight but sufficient and quite pleasant wethinks. No hookups on the oak grove side. The larger RV sites around the lake are currently occupied by refugees of the horrific Almeda Fire that destroyed over 2,000 structures last September. The reservoir is still extremely low. But the free showers were hot and the birds were singing! What more do you need?

More than adequate

Location at fairgrounds in Fossil sounded a little iffy, but we agree with the previous review. Nice enough for a stopover, although it could feel sardine-ish if super busy. We had the place to ourselves. Easy back-in sites, hookups all good, but showers were closed probably due to covid. We hiked the short trail, wandered the streets and found the town oddly intriguing on a quiet Sunday. We'll come back again to check out the museum and Paleo Lands Institute.

Enjoyed 1 night here in summer, nice wooded tent site.

A fine, perhaps underappreciated park. We hiked and biked the trails and napped like slugs on the beach (a short steep walk). Agree that the tight row of sites near the lawn and entrance station were not very attractive, but in the woods above, sites were pleasant and nicely spaced. Definitely worth a night or two. Just 10 minutes from historic Port Townsend and the Whidbey Island ferry.
