This is a beautiful park and a Top 100 park from Good Sam. While it is quite beautiful and right on the river, the rules and office staff are a little off-putting. From the very first phone call to make the reservation to the check in and out, the office staff was quite curt and short, just short of rude.

I can see why this park gets good rates as the amenities and grounds are outstanding. The grass is lush and full and heavily watered even in an extreme drought. The beachfront access and beach is amazing. However, behold the RULES!

The rules are HEAVILY enforced when making the reservation on the phone and even more so in person. While I don't have too much problem with the rules, as we always abide by them, the way they are enforced seems a little excessive. They do not mince any words and go over them with a fine tooth comb - all 2 pages of fine print!

She stated that if you even park a tiny hair over the grass line they will make you move and don't even think about your dog barking - even once. They strictly say barking dogs are not allowed on-line and in their printed rules. Now, when do dogs not bark? We don't allow ours to bark more than just a first few barks of hello because we don't like it either but how can you stop them from completely barking? They also do not state anywhere on line or any of their literature, but they charge $2 a day for 3 dogs or more.

Also, they repeatedly state that dogs cannot be off leash and the leash must be in your hands at all times. HOWEVER, that must not apply to the people who work here as we repeatedly saw someone driving a golf cart on the grass with two dogs in the cart. This person would throw a tennis ball ahead of the cart about 25 feet and then the dogs would jump out and run after the ball, get back in the cart and start over again.

Rates include up to 4 people. If you have 5 or 6 or any visitors, they are charged a daily use fee. Also, you are only allowed 6 people at any one RV, including registered guests and visitors, including children. I feel sorry for large families who are not allowed to stay here. They also charge for extra vehicles. I do not like places that nickel and dime you to death.

The noise is non-existent except for the ships passing by and this is in beautiful farmland so there isn't any other noise.

Wifi is marginal as it would always die and lock up for extended periods. AT&T Cellular had 4 bars.

This park would be a 5 if they had nice, courteous, welcoming staff and loosened up a bit.

Actually located in Coburg, just north of Eugene right off the Interstate, but the noise was actually quite minimal. It is beautifully maintained and staff is very helpful. The roads in the park are asphalt and very wide and clearly marked.

The sites are very long and most are pull thru. They have several back-in sites located next to the pond. These sites next to the pond are set up with sewer and electric on both sides to allow motorhomes to pull in to view the pond or 5th wheels and trailers to back in and have the view. The sites are very wide, with lots of green grass in between you and the neighbor. The picnic tables looked very new. Each site has a morning paper delivered every day. The park is adding a few new sites but did not interfere with our stay.

One negative is that there are some very old RVs living here full time. They actually have at least ½ the sites with full timers. Most keep their sites clean but there are several RVs that look horrible. We spoke to the manager who said the RVs have to be 10 years or newer for a monthly site but if they can look at the RV, then they may waive the rule. Not sure how several of those were approved because they look horrible, with mold on the RV, torn awnings, etc.

The Facilites are top notch. There is a room with a pool table, couch, TV etc., a nicely equipped fitness room and very clean laundry rooms. It costs $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. The clubhouse is very spacious and has a large screen TV, fireplace, couches and room to play games etc.

There is a nicely equipped store but we did have one issue. We are an active duty U.S. Coast Guard family and they only stocked 4 of the 5 armed services flags. The even displayed the flags outside on their curb as you drove in to the park, but again, only 4 of the 5 displayed. They did not have the U.S. Coast Guard flag for sale or displayed as they did the other services. Another issue was that the U.S. flag flying over the pond was tattered and in shreds. This is very disrespectful to the flag and to those of us who serve our Country. I hope that this is corrected soon as we did bring it to their attention.

They have started a new feature called Ducky’s Diner. It is a trailer on site that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Grand Opening was the day we left so we weren’t able to try it out.

The location is very convenient from I-5. It is just off the freeway but the noise was not bad at all. There is a TA Travel Center at the same exit with an RV Wash, which is very cheap and convenient.

The park appears to be very pet friendly until you take a closer look. There is a grassy area set aside at the side of the park for dogs to walk. They have one small fenced dog park, which is gravel. It is nicely lit at night and has a bench and trash can but it is a little small and dogs cannot run in this area. Near the pond is a larger fenced in dog park but it is mainly mud. It even has a very low area right near the entrance where water ponds in the rain. It was so full of water, there was no way we could even enter the area. The rear of the dog park had a little grass but the dog park area was so poorly maintained that we could not use it. It would not take much dirt to fill in the low area and then either sod it or put gravel in. Would make the area at least usable because as it is now, it is not usable at all.

The cell service with AT&T was very strong. Full 5 bars and worked great. We do not have Verizon so we don’t know how it is. The park wifi was nonexistent. We could never connect on our laptops, phones or Ipads. It was useless.

We would give this park 4 out of 5 stars. If they would improve the dog park area and the wifi, then they would get a full 5 stars.

Extra info: Coburg is just 5 miles from Eugene and there is lots of restaurants and things to do in the area. We stayed here because we came to AM Solar, which is located in Springfield, just 15 mins away. AM Solar is known nationwide as the experts in RV solar installations.
