Eric & Jennie Hultquist

We were in town so we could get a aux fuel tank installed at Transfer Flow (great people) and needed WiFi because we are both working from home. The park is very clean and well kept, with green grass between sites. Each site has a picnic table and many have shade. Although our site was on the end and facing a busy street, we were far enough set back that we hardly ever heard the cars go by. When we were there 8/1 to 8/8, the park never got more than half full. There is a small pool and shower and laundry facilities and all are clean and well maintained.
Dinner at Rice Bowl down the street is very good, but watch out for their portions. We ordered two dishes on top of rice and chow mein and there was enough 2 dinners and a lunch. Not a bad problem to have if you ask me.

Stayed here two nights (after leaving Zion on our way to Bryce) in our 41' fifth wheel and had no problems finding a site. Once through the gap, you enter a large bowl of a valley with plenty of space for lots of rigs. Counting us, there were only six rigs when we stayed here, from a class As, toy haulers, trailers and vans.

We chose to park on the left side as we came into the valley, that is where the high ground is. The ground was hard and there was enough vegetation so there was not blowing dust. We were level side-to-side but had to use a few blocks to get level front-to-back.

There were a few ATVs driving around, but only now and then and they slowed down as they passed by. We have Starlink, so can't speak to AT&T or Verizon coverage.

We stayed here on 4/12/21 for 3 nights and it was nearly empty, maybe 6 other sites were occupied. The views are amazing, but the winds can be amazing too. I'm sure it was gusting to 40mph the second day of our stay. We picked it because it had good reviews and the parks in Ellensburg didn't and while I think this was a nicer place to stay, it is a good 30 miles east of Ellensburg.

When we were there, only the loop next to the water was open. But we walked through the other loop and noticed that some sites would have been difficult for larger rigs, du to the placement of the water/electric post. They are too far into the site and so the entry angle could be difficult. Most sites are fairly level, but some are sloped or are very short pull through. We have a 41' 5th wheel and I'm not sure we could have gotten into some of them.

There is a petrified forest visitor center nearby, but we were not able to visit during the hours they were opened.

Unfortunately we were here for the recent (ongoing) forest fires so have spent the last six days inside our rig. Before the smoke came to town we did get out to see Smith Rock SP and it is worth the drive if you like scenery and hiking. The town of Redmond has quite a few good restaurants, you just need to get off 97 and into town. The RV park is paved, with concrete pads and gravel (not grass) between sites. The sites have a picnic table and a bbq stand (ours was not cleaned out and we did not use it). There is grass next door, at the fair grounds, for walking your dog or playing. It's a good location, the facilities are clean and well maintained, but the staff could be friendlier. When we check in, we asked about the fires in the area and they didn't seem informed or concerned. Signs in the office window says "No Refunds". We are next to an airport, but flight were cancelled because ground crews could not work outside, due to the smoke. We were able to get more local, free TV here than other places.

On the north end of town with lots of room, we stayed here for two nights in early May 2024. We were under some trees but still managed to connect with Starlink with no issues. The park and restrooms are clean and well kept and family run. The views are great and the location is good. We had some road noise, but I bet if you were further back you would not hear much. There were only a half dozen rigs when we were there, so we were all in the front row. We would definitely stay here again.

We booked a site because we wanted to use the hot springs. When we pulled in we found out the site was directly in front of us, so had to execute a 180 degree turn and then back into our site. The site was nice enough, fairly level and partly shaded. They only have 30 amp service and the pedestal has no circuit breaker so it is always hot. We have a surge protector so it was ok, put I'd be hesitant without one. The "hot spings" consist of a regular swimming pool and a 'hot pool' that is shoulder deep when sitting down and you have to sit on the floor. It's not as comfortable as it could be if there was a bench or seat. The water pressure was only 20 lbs, so not enough to was dishes of flush the toilet very well. There is a separate $10 fee to enter the hot springs. The facilities are nice enough though a bit run down.

This is a great park to stay at if you want something quiet. There was no road noise and no trains! We were there off season, there were less than a dozen rigs in the entire campground and we were on a row all by ourselves, until the weekend. But those people showed up on Friday and left on Sunday and they were quiet neighbors. There are two lakes on the property, with different speed limits, but very few boats were out when we were there. They stock the small of the lakes, but I didn't catch anything and didn't see anyone else catch anything. Supposedly it is heavily fished immediately after stocking, which was two weeks before we arrived. They have a TON of squirrels who have torn up the grass and burrowed holes all over the place, making walking on the grass a difficult proposition. The bathrooms were small, but clean and there were very few trees which was great for our Starlink, but I was told it can get very hot in the summer. The site was one of those curved pull throughs but the pedestal was on the inside of the curve, so easy to get in and out of. Some sites had a sign on the outside of the curve and that would have been more difficult for a longer rig.

We stayed here in Sept, in order to meet up with some friends and enjoyed our stay. We were camped on a waterfront site and the view was beautiful, looking over to the town of Wakefield. There was very little road noise from the town. The park is smaller, older and there are lots of seasonal trailers but it is clean, quiet and safe. The bathrooms and showers are very nice. The showers take quarters, but I took two showers for $0.25 each.

We stayed here with our 41' Solitude and didn't have a problem, but that would be about the longest I'd bring here. Besides the space length, the road in crosses the spillway and we scraped the rear bumper on the way our because it dips so much. Unfortunately there was a fire 20 miles north of us so there was smoke most of the time. The biggest problem was the water level. A local said it was at 10% capacity and while their was still enough for swimming and kayaking and fishing, getting close enough was the issue. The level was dropping 3' day so the shore was so muddy (and at places steep), you could not launch. The boat ramp was 1/4 mile long, but ended way short of the water. All that said, we'd stay here again, but in the springtime when the hills would be green and the water level higher. They have full hookups, some shade trees, great views and you are very close to Ashland and all it offers.

We arrived on Halloween evening (10/31/20) and lots of kids were out with parents, trick or treating and either didn't see our 1 ton truck pulling a 38' 5th wheel or didn't care as we snaked through very tight turns to get to out site. Several times we sat and waiting for groups to get out of the middle of the roads. Our site was nice, but it was near an airport and when planes took off they sounded like they were going to fly through the rig. They were loud, but they stopped taking off around 10pm. Getting out was a lot easier than getting in and if we were going to stay again, I'd stay in a different part.
