Campsite: Harbor RV Park

Be aware, Highway 1 from Leggett to Fort Bragg is NOT BIG RIG FRIENDLY. A large sign at the beginning says no rigs longer than 40 feet. I would recommend no longer than 30 feet because of some hair pin curves.

The park is located in the city of Fort Bragg. We chose it for it’s location and views of the ocean which were amazing.. There is pavement all the way until you are in the park. Signage is adequate. Check in did not exist. We arrived mid week at 3:15 PM. The office closes at 3:00PM. There were directions showing available sites and to fill out an envelope include payment. We arrived during poring rain. The Campground Map is poor and the sites not well marked. We chose an empty site that was gravel based and not a grass mud pit. Fortunately it was available. The interior roads are sparse gravel and not in great shape. We never received any contact what so ever from the park operators. Our VISA payment was processed early the next morning. We were never give a wifi code or even a thanks for coming.

Our site, 31, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is poor even for an urban park. NO sites had a vegetation privacy barrier. There were NO Tables or Fire Pits which made swnse because there was NO ROOM to put them there.. Overall, it appears that the park was an afterthought because space was available after the mobile home park was filled.

There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did find a cable connection but no channels were found. There were a few OTA channel but no major networks. Satellite would not be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or showers nor could we check them as we were never given any codes.

Part of our wanting to visit the Fort Bragg area is because of the world famous Glass Beach. Be aware that it has been picked pretty clean. One almost needs tweezers to pick up any of the remaining sea glass.

Needless to say we were pretty disappointed with the whole Fort Bragg experience except for the Noyo River Grill that is next door the the RV Park. We had a delicious meal that was reasonably priced and the service was excellent/

We paid $48.00 per night and feel we had probably the worst stay in all of our years RVing. We will never be back

Campsite: Sand Hollow State Park

The park was easy to find. It is located north of St. George Utah near Hurricane. There is pavement all the way including interior roads. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic and Mister Ranger patrols to make sure they are followed..

Our site, 16, was a pull thru that was plenty long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp and water only) were to the left side. Distancing is great even for a rural park. Each site has an aluminum table on a concrete patio under a sun shade. There was also a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was clean and tidy .

There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did find a few OTA channels. Satellite will not be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean.

There are OHV trails from the park as well as OHV rentals, Boats, Personal Water Craft, Kayak and Canoe rentals on site.

There are no restaurants or stores within walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores in Hurricane. We found this park to be a great place to relax and enjoy ourselves. Jeeping the sand was awesome We paid $46.60 per night including tax and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.

Campsite: Kid Valley Campground

The park was easy to find. It is located right off of Spirit Lake Highway It is the closest park to Mount St. Helen’s. There is pavement all the way until you arrive at the park. Signage is adequate. Check in this early in the season was self serve. Find a site, fill out the envelope and pay CASH only.. The rules are fairly basic.

Our site, 20, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp and water) were to the left side. Distancing is somewhat close for a rural park. Most sites do not have a vegetation barrier. Each site has a table and most have a fire pit. Our site was flat but sloped to the rear. Overall the park was pretty and well manicured. There is a big grassy field, Basket Ball hoop. Ping Pong Table and a Sand Box for the younger set. On a very hot day, one might want to venture a short distance up the logging road behind the park to find, under the bridge, a pair of rope swings over the water.

We could not obtain any Verizon cell service thus had NO internet. We did not find a few OTA TV. Satellite might be difficult because of the trees if you don’t have a portable dish. We did not use the washrooms or pay showers (25 cents for 2 minutes) but we checked and found them dated but clean.

There is a pathway that starts between sites 7 and 8 that runs alongside a steep bank that leads to a restaurant a short distance away. The restaurant was closed while we here but it looks like the views from the deck would be amazing.

We found this park to be a well run rural RV park. We paid $30.00 per night and we feel we received very good value. We will be back if in the area again.

Campsite: Game Farm Wilderness Campground

Scroll to the bottom to see the new review edited from original review date January 2022

The park was easy to find but it is located about 10 miles from I 5. There is pavement all the way including in the park. Signage is adequate. Check in was friendly but took an unexpected turn. We had booked our site prior to our arrival. We were allotted site 1. The telephone attended noted that it would be long enough to suit our needs. We were informed by the Camp Host that they had given away site 1 and we would have to search another one that would fit our rig. Just an FYI, we are not all that long. Our coach is a short 28 feet. At first, we didn’t think it would be that big of a deal until we discovered that the sites were still snow covered and not all that easy to see how long they were. Plus, we really didn’t like the idea of us doing their leg work. We are not familiar with the park. After a long drive, all we wanted to do was set up and sit back. We were told site 6 might be vacant and we should fit so we decided to just take it. After disconnecting our Jeep and backing into the site we thought it was NOT a long site. We were as far back as we thought we should go. Any further looked like we might be on dirt. We stayed where we were as we were not going to walk the park looking for a longer site. We just parked our towed on the street (with the approval of the host). This was not a good start to our stay. The next morning we found that site 6 would have been long enough. What we thought was dirt was just snow covered ice.

Our site, 06, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach but not the Towed in it’s present condition.. Services (30 amp and water) were to the left side. We discovered the water was not available as the plumbing is not heated. This park is advertised as being year round. The lack of water should have been advertised and the price reduced for off season. Distancing is close and there is no vegetation barrier for privacy. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat but had severe slope to the front. When the coach was leveled the front wheels were off the ground. This makes for a high first step into the motor home. We did not use the washroom so can not comment on it;s condition.

We found this park to be a poorly operated urban RV park. Being advertised as year round, the roads and sites should have been plowed. No water available should have been advertised. The Camp Host should not be allowed to give away booked sites on a whim. We paid $35.00 per night and we feel we received very poor value. We will not be back.

Edited review October 2023

There just isn’t a whole lot of options for RV Parks in the area. We found ourselves here again. Not much has changed since we were last here two years ago except this time it wasn’t snow covered and the Park Host was exceptionally good. Our site,10, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp and water) were to the left side. Distancing is close and there is no vegetation barrier for privacy. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. We did not use the washroom so can not comment on its condition.

We found this park to be a very well operated urban RV park. We paid $40.00 per night and we feel we received very Good value. We will be back if in the area again.
