Waterwheel RV Park & Campground

Great camp. The sites re pretty tight. No sewer but there was a free dumping station. The camp is on the Willamette river. Great for fishing if you do. There is a little island to take your dog there. Location is perfect for a base to go to Crater lake and it's on the 97 highway. Not too noisy. The lady at the reception was very nice and helpful. The Wifi service was pretty weak. The sites were almost flat. Great grassy area around the sites.

Sweet little campground, friendly and helpful staff, very clean and newly updated laundry room, gorgeous island for tent campers, right on the river with fish cleaning station, dock and boat ramp. Only con.... sites are extremely tight , impossible to use picknick table or fire ring.

I stayed here because my folks were camping with us in a class A and needed hook ups. Only 30 amp service. Next to the river and popular fishing area. Nice little playground. We parked our rigs next to each other and had a tent camper set up between us for the first night. They booked the site that was maybe a 10x10 foot area so it was awkward for all of us. On the other side of my RV was a rig that was turned as the hook ups were placed oddly so our door opened up to theirs. Never felt comfortable and NO privacy. Close to Crater Lake so that was a plus. Mosquitoes could have carried us away. Bats were active and fun to watch.

Loved this campground! Very accommodating to our unique situation with having to winter camp. Very friendly staff that treats you like family. Amazing bath house. The rushing river and wildlife are unbelievable. Highly recommend this campground. Can’t wait to visit Oregon and Water Wheel Campground again.

Good overnight stop on your way north or south, there is a river for fishing and a small gravel boat ramp. we were headed south so had no time for fishing. this is a good location for exploring the area or if you are going up to crater lake.

Nice, clean, RV park. 50A service and water. Riverside with lots of birds--meadowlark, swallows, ducks, geese, finches, red-winged black birds, magpie and a pair of eagles! Close to some nice hiking at Klamath falls. Some sites, including ours had a fair bit of slope front to back.

Would never stay here again. Very tight sites; some can’t even open their awning. Some sites share electrical poles. Some sites have gravel, others grass and dirt and not very level. Some nice shade. We are full timers for over a year now and while some other parks have not been stellar, this one takes the cake. I never stay more than two nights without full hookups; our tanks are small. We made a reservation for 3 nights but were not told our site wasn't full hookups. When we checked in we found out and were told there was no way I wasn't told during the reservation phone call. I even checked my notes to be sure. Then, we started having power issues. We were told that site sometimes reacts that way especially with surge protectors. Now our inverter is not working and the A/C unit acting strange. We ran our generator to see if it corrected. Who knows what else is damaged. The staff and owner know this site and apparently others have electrical issues. Not making that known ahead if time shows profound lack of integrity. I was told it was something with our RV. The male camp host said some have problems some don’t. I bet they ALL do later but don’t connect the dots! My husband is an engineer; these people had no clue. Before we hooked up here we had no problems. Thank God for the surge protector and when we figure out exactly what has happened to the inverter and A/C, we will decide how to proceed. Further, we were told the wifi only works at a few sites. We could not see the connection from our site or any others as we walked around and only when near the office porch did it show up. Right on the front porch download was .84 Mbps and upload 1.23 Mbps. Advertising wifi that does not even work for data, not mentioning the lack of sewer connection, and renting sites with known property damaging electrical connections is unethical. The female camp host did her best to offer solutions but there were no other sites available. While the bathrooms and laundry were the cleanest we have seen and the river beautiful, I cannot recommend this RV park to anyone.

I'll begin with the great and work down the list. Greeted warmly by Terry at the front desk; along with Randy who does everything outside, this couple is an excellent team and the resort is fortunate to have them! Easy access, beautiful location, great (personal) WiFi as we work from the road. Laundry room has new, large wash/dryers, bathrooms and showers are new and top notch. No quarters needed. Everything was super clean and has been recently refurbished. The Williamson River is peaceful and there are plenty of ducks, geese and birds to sit and enjoy your day. Or enjoy a cocktail on the floating dock. The not-so-good is extremely tight sites. This lends itself to a one-night-resort. Firepits are precariously placed and totally unusable due to tight sites and infringing on your neighbor. Would be better off removing them as they are a tripping hazard. Yes, I would stay here again and feel the best sites in the park are #31 & #32 which gives you a larger patio and you can actually use the fire pit. Other pet peeves, while the laundry room is fabulous, I always like when the washer/dryer times are noted in the room; and with all the land surrounding this park, a fenced dog run would be a plus! To sum up, this is not a destination park but rather an over-nighter resort; a little longer if you work from the road and want great WiFi.

Stayed in May 2021. Beautiful spot on the river. Great warm showers. Good laundry room. The office has little things for sale like ice cream. Convenient spot!

We stayed in full hookup pull through site #12 for four nights and it was very comfortable. The electrical post had 30 and 50 amp plugs so we were able to run 2 air conditioners on several 100+ degree days. Very nice! This campground is right next to the Williamson river. We took our beach chairs down and placed them in the water to stay cool. It worked like a charm! Excellent bathrooms with very large showers. The free campground wifi worked at our site and it was pretty good. My AT&T phone had 2 bars and my wife's Verizon phone had 3 bars. The office manager is named Tracy and she is super nice. We did the Highway 138 scenic drive based on her recommendation. Our favorite stops were Toketee and Watson falls. Crater Lake National Park is about an hour away and it is a must see as well. Overall this was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tracy!
