Detailed Reviews
The campground is located about 200 ft from the railroad tracks. Trains went thru 4-5 times a night plus more times during the day. They blew the whistle each time!!! It is super noisy and hard to sleep. Skip this one!

We stayed in a tent site and there was little separation between us and our neighbors. The bathrooms had been updated with laminate wood floors, but they were installed poorly which may be one of the contributing factors to why they smelled a little off.
I wouldn’t recommend this as a destination camping spot. Okay for an overnight on your way somewhere, but we didn’t find our stay to be peaceful or restful. Neighbors are too close, lots of “car camping” which equates to lots of doors opening and closing, horns honking as people lock cars, folks starting their car in the middle of the night, etc. The tent camping area is very, very dusty. We’re washing everything we took. We need to break out the tent to clean it before we use it again.
If we go back we’d likely stay in a cabin. Those looked alright.

The site was nice and level. We had a pull thru patio site. The only complaint about the site was all the pine needles that I had to sweep so they didn't get in the trailer.
One other downside was the trains... they were there and went by all hours of the day, but we were still able to get some sleep.
Most amenities were closed, either due to COVID, or because it was the end of the season (pool closed after labor day)

I stayed here last month for two evenings. The stay itself was pleasant but the staff was extremely rude. I decided on a late check out so I knew I was going to be charged a $10 late fee and I was fine with that. After I left I noticed an additional $25 late fee on top of the $10 fee was charged. Nowhere in the KOA website or on their literature was this additional fee posted. I contacted them and the manager proceeded to tell me that there is an early late check out fee and a late late check out fee, and since I didn't leave the park until 2:00pm I was assessed this second fee. They then informed me that although I had left my actual camp spot before then that by parking my car off to the side of the pavement so that I could shower before I left that I was blocking others from being able to use other camping spots. IT WAS 2PM! NOBODY WAS THERE!
I have stayed in other KOA campgrounds around the country and have always been treated courteously and enjoyed my stays. This is the notable exception. I will NEVER stay at this campground again and I warn others to stay away and only stay at this location at their own risk. The management is shady, condescending, and has no problem assessing random, questionable charges against your credit card after you've already left.

We recently stayed for two nights. The employees were very friendly and the check-in was also great. We were in a great location so the trains were not a problem for us. I'd recommend staying in of the sites #98 - 111. We were in 112 and although it's wonderful with huge trees and a concrete patio, we were seen by every car/camper entering and exiting the park. It wasn't all bad but just a suggestion. We loved this park because of what the site offered but also because we could bike into town. We took the ferry boat ride and our granddaughter loved it. There were not many people on the boat so it was easy to socially distance.
The bathrooms and showers were closed to those not renting a cabin, I was able to use the bathroom while I was doing laundry. They were very clean and large. The store was also open. We also had no problems hooking up to cable tv.
We will definitely be back to this campground!

We stayed here in June 2021 for a couple of nights on our way home. Nice location for a quick stop. There are few touristy things to do within 20-30 minute drive although the town seems deserted but I think the area is still recovering from Covid. Lots of trees so it feels like your "camping"! Spots are well maintained. Overall, the campground is nice. You do hear the trains coming through so it is a bit noisy.

Love the concept of this place. Very efficient way to order and quickly receive food and drinks. However, the food is not good. Overcooked and burnt brunch meals. Great place to come just for a beer though.

We wanted a quick weekend getaway close to home so we came here. We were taken to a corner spot, close to the never ending train traffic. We couldn't get satellite reception because of the trees over head. Campfires were so close. Our neighbors started a fire right outside our bedroom window. My husband and I have serious allergies and had to close our windows. We couldn't put out a mat, and the ground around us was nothing but dirt, pine cones and rocks. We didn't even set up our outside chairs and grill.

A good one night stay for travelling. Nothing special but it definitely worked for us. Might be a good point to explore the Columbia River area. The train does come by so be prepared but they are pretty open about that so there were no surprises.

We stayed 3 days at this KOA. It has its pluses and minuses. Pluses are full hook up and we had a paved site. Distance from our neighbor wasn’t too bad. Lots of trees for shade, but also makes it dark inside your RV. Minuses were the noise. Highway 84 with trucks, a construction site across the street digging with large equipment, and the trains. They are right on the back border of the campground. They have to blow there horns when near the campground. Was woke up 4 times in the night from them with ear plugs in. If this doesn’t bother you this is the place for you.
