Go west from Interstate 5 at Olympia (between Seattle & Portland). Take the "Aberdeen" exit. Then follow highways 101, 8 and 12 toward Aberdeen. Although the highway numbers will change, you will stay on the same four lane freeway. At Montesano exit the four lane freeway, turn left at the stop sign and take highway 107 southwest toward Raymond and Astoria. Highway 107 ends at highway 101. Turn left (south) at the stop sign. Artic is 1.8 miles south of the intersection. The park is on the left (east) side of highway 101.
Small little park. Fairly quiet although being close to the 101(within about 100-150 yds). Trails take you along a little Creek and to a couple of large historical tree's. Price was reasonable.
Loved this great little campground. RV sites have some space and greenery in between so you're not right on top of each other. Nice, clean bathrooms with coin op showers, and a rec building for rainy day activities. Beautiful, fairly easy hike around the grounds and along the river.
For one night is very good. Bathrooms are super clean, no sewer but electric and water, and you have a pub right there.
Accommodated us for one night. Wish they had free shower rather than the coin operated. The owner was friendly. No Wi-Fi. Do have pub as part of site so convenient rather than going out for dinner via drive.
Was awesome of them to allow a hiker/backpacker to use the bicyclist site for less than $20 for the night.
*There are Some private campgrounds that have turned me away bcuz they only have RV sites…OR…they only have “bike” sites AND I could stay if I reserve and pay for a Regular site.
This place wasn’t like that.
The hospitality other reviews speak of…spot On.
I stopped at the pub first. Asked about getting a campsite. Was really easy. Then I got a super tasty Blue Cheese n Bacon burger and a couple drinks to celebrate breaking through 6500 miles walked.
The campsite was really quiet after dark, easily able to sleep. The shower does take a quarter. A Quarter…for 5 minutes! Not $2 for a shower. Not a Quarter a minute. A quarter for 5! 50Cents gets ya 10 minutes. Can’t beat that really.
If you are hiking or biking through….tired? hungry? want a drink? up for conversing with the locals? Be sure to stop.
And the owners even gifted me a food care pkg right before I went to sleep. A couple of #humanswithwings I tell ya.
Mile 6,506 was awesome.
