First I understand different travelers have different expectations, but this has to be the worst park in Central Oregon. It is hard to imagine a more unfriendly, ugly, or uninviting park.

I am greatly puzzled over some of the past reviews saying this is a nice park. I can only surmise that management has changed and this park is not what it once was.

First this park has a website which contains a map and photos. The park is NOT like the on-line photos; including the photos on google too. These are old photos and do not represent what the park looks like now. The grass is all dead, there are no flowers, and items displayed in photos no longer exist. The park appears to not be maintained... So Do not be fooled!

Specific problems are:

1- No staff at park. When you arrive you must call number posted and eventually a "manager" will arrive. No staff on duty to address issues.

2- Trashy appearance.

3- Spaces so narrow that they will not fit large double slide outs.

4- Very unfriendly staff and owner who refuses to resolve problems (read below for details.)

5- Unsecured credit card information! Your credit card number is written on post-it style note with your information and arrival date, and paper-clipped at desk for anyone to possibly take or see. (Office is locked when no one is there, but still a huge concern.)

6- Park is mostly full-time "greatly discounted" monthly guests. This park is NOT geared to weekend travelers.

7- SHARED space outside your RV door. Yes that is correct. You must share your table space with your neighbor (see photo)

8- No room to walk dog or grass area for dogs to do their "business". Again see photo. Even If you want the dead grass area, you must walk your dog directly next to someone else RV.

9- Park is located in LOW INCOME trashy residential area. As in run down single wide mobile home, and cars which do not run, next to park on other side of park fence.

10- also weird is that the only number posted near the phone is the "Sheriff Department" phone number to call when there are problems. (Like trouble is expect it seems... wow!)

I strongly recommend holiday travelers to avoid this park. The State Park is just a few miles up the road. But if you need "budget minded" property with no supervision, then this is your place.

=========================================

Personal experience at this park follows...

Upon arrival I observed the trashy condition of this park and thought I would just stay one night and move on instead of the 4 days I had planned. They refused to alter reservation to fewer days and stated I would be charged anyway.

However I soon discovered that the spaces were so narrow that it will not accommodate the double slide outs of my RV. I was assured that my 36' 5th wheel, would fit in the reserved space when I made reservations.

I had to walk staff to RV and show them it would not fit. They said that it would fit even though trees clearly blocked the slid-outs. They said that it was okay that branches would rub against RV... but it was not acceptable to me. Central Oregon bark and pine needles rubbing against RV would scratch it.

I was told that they would not refund my money. After an argument in which the owner refused to review the situation, the staff member agreed to do a partial refund of $52 out of the $122 total charge. I did not understand the logic of this amount as I could not stay there even if I wanted to (which I sure didn't at this point.)

In conclusion, this is a horrible park and advise you to sleep along side the road before spending a night at this park..
