We stayed here17 yrs ago when it was a KOA. Was marginal then and is questionable now.

Pros: super cheap nightly rate, super friendly owner on staff 24/7/365, new electrical, free decent wifi.

Cons: run down. Needs far too much work for this single female owner. Full of weeds puncture vines in the dog run, broken picnic tables, debris, a pool that has weeds growing in it, and a train track across the street that has a train going by most of the night horn whistle blowing each and every time. We came and stayed just because the owner was so nice on the phone. I doubt we would stay again only because of the train and keeping you awake all night. There is a Walmart nearby where we saw other RVrs staying for the night. Truly if there was no train we would stay again just to support this owner in her endeavors but not with that train. No sleep at all.

Trains go by constantly. Literally all night long blaring their whistles. If you want a park close to the Arch this is it. You can see it from the park. As many have said it’s a parking lot with hookups. I can deal with that. But the train noise. Worst 3 nights ever. And hubby stay to warn you all that you need lots of electrical power cord, sewer hose and water hose as the hookups at at the street and not in the middle of the site. Neighborhood is run down. Hard to get to the park and their minimart they advertise is non existent. There is nobody there, you are given a gate code after making an online reservation which by the way they charge you a fee for that I don’t recall being given a warning the reservation was subject to an online fee. Our Garmin 760 did get us right there though and WAZE instead had us go to the Casino. If it’s a day trip to see the Arch I would stay again. Beyond the day trip. No way

First of all, we chose this park from its Good Sam rating of 9/10*/10. Thought it odd that when making reservations, you had to call, call, call due to no answer or instant busy signal. Second, the don’t do credit cards...cash or check...which has to be mailed in. No email either...they snail mail you your confirmation. This doesn’t work if you are on the road. Their billboard advertises they are the best park in the area. Well if they are, avoid them. Yes, the park is big, yes you have some privacy sites, but their internet is awful, and I mean awful. Half the time it drops you or is unavailable. Cell service is terrible in Fort Bragg for Verizon. To say we were disappointed was an understatement all because we are use to a 9 and 10 star Good Sam rating meaning a clean nice big facility with stuff. How they got this rating is beyond me. You pay $4 extra for 50 amp per night. The sites aren’t all that level and most are back ins. There is a lot of dust and overgrown shrubbery, which is there site privacy. My allergies have been terrible since arriving. Their cable for cable TV is okay tho. No sure what the attraction to this area is. We are native Californians and have wanted to come up this way but now that we have...been there done that, and frankly wouldn’t recommend you bother. The roads to here from the North, South, and West are two layers and full or curves, some extremely tight. Take yourself somewhere else. And the one thing I learned is I am going to Google Earth every reservation from now on to see a birds eye view. Had I done that, we wouldn’t have been there, and wouldn’t have lost a day of prepay due to our leaving early to go somewhere fun and better.
