Campground Review and Description
Description: This was our destination after a long day's drive and we arrived after dark (it was too late to find another option). To our gross disappointment, the tent area was directly across the river from a lumber mill, which operated throughout the night. As sound carries over water, it was as if we had pitched our tent amid forklifts and heavy equipment with the din of the noise in our ears throughout the night.
There was no one at office when we arrived or when we left the next morning. We did provide a written request for a no charge or a discount, however we were charged in full.
This park should really provide full disclosure on their website about offensive noise levels. This sleepless night will not be soon forgotten and we hope no other tent campers suffer as we did.
Also to note: the grass was in desperate need of cutting, rubbish rested in the BBQ, the toilet stall door did not secure, and the toilet was loose and wobbly.
Pros, Cons and Additional Comments
Pros: Nothing as far as our experience goes.
Cons: NOISE.
Additional Comments: Do not pitch a tent here unless you are not bothered by noise.
