Don Laine Campground

Stayed here while visiting family nearby. Scenic view of the back side of the Blue Mountain. Nice owners, clean campground. A lot of seasonal trailers but in good shape. Campground’s store had supplies, food, and a short order grill. Pricing is “a la carte” with everything extra over electric. Our site had electric, water, sewer, cable +$4 for AC. On the negative side $40 deposit for cable box, no Wi-Fi, $10 deposit for after hours gate key. On the positive side there is a gate that needs a key.

They really paid attention to making the sites flat and level when they built this campground. Every site I’ve seen looks nice and level. There’s a nice bit of space between the sites. One down side is the “buddy sites” (side by side sites where the front doors face each other). One of the sites is a back in and the other is a pull in. There is very limited access in front of you when you pull into those buddy sites. It’s going to be interesting trying to hook up when we leave. UPDATE: It wasn't too bad. Mostly because of my really short trailer. It's only 20 feet.

The staff seemed to be friendly the few times I interacted with them

The restrooms look nice and clean.

They have a very nicely stocked store/ office/ snack bar.

The swimming pool is quite a distance away from everything else. Vehicles are not allowed to go to it. You have to walk a few hundred yards to get there. You’re going to have to decide for yourself whether this is good or not. The lack of access to the pool vs. all the pool noises being farther away.

I would give this place a four star, maybe even a five star, review on the noise if it were not for the guy who took his family home, left the camper with his radio playing loud enough that I could hear it while laying in my camper's bed.

Cell service was rather spotty. I was getting either 1 or 2 bars of 4g LTE service most of the weekend.

The campground is a lovely setting of rolling hills. It has FHU but the sewer pipe has no threads to screw in and too small to insert a sewer donut. So you have to be very careful when dumping. It is not a closed connection. The site is a mixture of small rocks and dirt. They don’t send you any type of confirmation. Now comes the unusual part, the owner allows people to double up on single sites. I’m not talking about a buddy site. I’m talking two full size RV’s on one site. So double the amount of people and animals on the site next to you. So if you are looking for a little space to relax just be aware that your camping neighbors maybe doubled or more.
