We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.
I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.
They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.
Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.
We arrived at 2pm on 7/2/24 hoping to find a first come first served spot big enough for our rented RV (30' x 10' x 12'). Much to our surprise, the campground was at least 50% empty!
We passed by two great looking spots (one with RV hookups) before settling on site 7, which is situated right next to the river. It has a great picnic table and the fire ring is well maintained and has very little ash left behind. We have a little trail from our site down to the edge of the river with a rocky beach and what appears to be great fly fishing.
The campground itself is very well maintained, clean, and quiet, and it offers plenty of shade in a beautiful temperate rainforest setting. No trash in sight anywhere. Even though it is close to the 101, the only sound we hear is the river. The loop for sites 1-20 seems to offer a bit more privacy than the other loop. The vault toilets on this loop are clean and aren't even smelly. It seems like this campground doesn't get a lot of use, which doesn't make sense at all. Maybe the vampires scared folks away? ðŸ¤
Highly recommend this spot.
