There is a tent area which is wooded - no hookups but a dump station, and an "RV Park" which has small trees. The views are gorgeous! We were here during the week late spring so didn't experience boat noise. This is a great stop-over park along I-5. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Emigrant Lake is truly a beautiful location. And, if you have some sort of motorcraft, even more so. I would have given this location a higher rating if it were not for the following: the current hosts, while quite friendly, did not seem to have much of a grasp or concern about this place, perhaps because this was their first time in such a position. It was very frustrating trying to get any assistance from them. During the summer, this place gets VERY crowded, especially with families and lots of kids. If you don't like noise, radios blasting at all hours or screaming kids, this is not the place for you. No cable, no TV at all with the antenna and definitely no wi-fi. This is a terraced location and some of the spots can be a might steep, so be forewarned. Check the sites first. Again, the lake and view is gorgeous (visible from all the sites) and you can't beat the price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New park, trees are small - so not much shade. There was a $6 reservation fee (in
addition to the $20/night). There is a waterslide for the kids. It would be a great place to bring a boat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If this were $20 a night it might be barely acceptable. At $32 it is a rip off as it is badly in need of paint, gravel, and cleaning. It is full of trashy trailers, dead cars and rusting unused trailers. The road is paved but the sites are plain dirt. It is too bad because the setting is beautiful, nestled in Oak tress on a creek. At one time it must have been one of KOA's flagship parks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not worth it. Keep on going and stay in Phoenix. Glenyan was dusty and dirty and run down. Full of shabby semi-permanents. Lots of barking dogs and the proximity of the road (noisier than a freeway) made this a real drag. The pool was covered during a heat wave and looked to have been covered for months. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I agree with the previous reviewers. First and last time we stay here. I did not feel safe walking our dog after dark! Almost forgot.... no hot water in the shower! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The web site makes the park seem nice. I was unpleasantly surprised when we arrived. There are lots of long term residents and some sites are very trashy. All of the sites are dirt and the small amount of grass is mostly dead. The only plus is that it is only a short distance from Ashland. We definitely won't stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at Glenyan Campground for the last five years because of its proximity to downtown Ashland. The facilities are adequate. We thought the owners were going to upgrade the park, but it seems that each year there are more permanent residents and some sites are very, very shabby with wash hanging on lines outside and junk piled around the sites. There are lots of tent sites and less than a handful of sites suited for motorhomes over 35 feet. None of the sites we have stayed in had asphalt, concrete or grass. They were all dry, dusty dirt. With over 60 sites, it is pretty quiet. The owners are friendly and helpful if needed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't always depend on the TL ratings. We drove 3 1/2 miles each way from the freeway and when we got there at 3:30PM the office was closed and it said register and then find a site. We drove through and weren't impressed with any of it. Narrow roads with overhanging trees, messy spaces, and a lot of junky permanents. I have stayed in places with worse ratings and were nicer places. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is the cleanest park in Ashland. It is wonderful to find a clean, heated bathroom and shower house. The owners were not very friendly towards us however. Rarely would the husband smile and he stopped us at the entrance to the park when we returned in our car. It made us feel unwelcome. The park itself was beautiful, nice creek, and allows dogs. Lots of long term renters so we did not get a good spot. Only long term renters get full hook ups. Overnight stayers do not have sewer. That was inconvenient. The trailer parked next to us had its tank overflow. I bet this happens often in these spots. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, but we were there early in the season so not yet fully spruced up. Nicest, cleanest bath/shower rooms of the 7 parks we stayed in during our Olympia-San Diego trip. Rated 8 instead of higher because we were assigned a scruffty site on the fringe of the park when lots of nicer ones, closer to the facilities, were available. We would stay here again when in the area. Highly recommend the Iron Skillet at Talent, Ore for meals out. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is an older campground, lots of full-timers. It was an overnight stop on the way to California, but next trip, would probably stay somewhere else. Recommend big rigs avoid this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The hosts are friendly. There are limited number of full hookup sites, and the ones that have sewer are not located in a great area. It is pretty tight, especially when they have tenters located behind your site. It can become quite noisy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We chose this RV park because it was the closest to the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. Older park, with paved but narrow roads. Sites were tight and close together. 50 sites but only 9 pull-thru and only 11 with sewer, but they do have a sewer dump. Staff was friendly, and it appears the new owners (2004) are making some improvements. Clean restrooms and showers. Cable TV and wireless internet included in fee. Very quiet park with stream running through in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is located about 20 miles east of Ashland but has an Ashland mailing address. It is well worth the drive if you are looking for a quiet, cool and friendly park next to a great fishing and boating lake. I would have given this park a "10" but reserve that for parks with WIFI. You can plug your laptop into a phone connection in the restaurant but the connection is slow. There are boat rentals, a great restaurant with SOFT SERVE ice cream. This park opens about April 15 and closes October 15 of each year. Virtually every spot is in the shade, good for the summer months, but cold during the off season and of course rain drips off the branches onto the trailer. We have camped here early, middle and late season and aways enjoy this resort. Don't count on getting a holiday weekend spot unless you arrive early. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
WARNING!!!! DON'T HOOKUP TO THE RV PARK WATER! Make sure your tanks are full before staying here. The sulfur water is not only smelly, but attracts flies as the smell is kin to a carcass. This campground is more for people coming to use the Springs. As stated there is only 5 available spots, the rest is taken by hippie-oneness. Management accommodating & hard working, the rest of the staff is not. Nice facilities for the Springs. Nice pool, hot springs pool, sauna & spa. It seems they only use the sulfur water as the secondary water & tap into a separate spring for the pools. Good place to rent a tee pee, swim naked after dark & remember your youth. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is not an RV park. It is a run down, full on friendly hippie commune. Weeds, dirt, vile, stinky, sulfur-water with 90% permanents in ratty rusted trailers, and nasty bathrooms are what's here at the park. However, the Wellsprings is semi-separate from the park, and it's pretty good. They have a huge colder springs pool and a huge hot springs pool. It's a great place to to take the toad to and soak your aching bones. Highly recommended! Due note: still more hippie vibe than not. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The atmosphere in this camp ground is very hippie and kind. The access to a Sauna is also included when camping here! We were able to pick up a weak wifi signal at our spot. The water is the worst aspect of this resort. It is a sulfur spring water that STINKS like rotten eggs. You do not want to use this water in your RV. The smell lingers. Aside from the smell, it also leaves an oily/slimmy residue on your hands. Someone who works at the park knocked on our door two hours prior to check out, hassling us about where we were going next. This was a negative for me because I like my privacy. Lastly, let me describe the bathrooms. The main lodge has a larger bathroom/shower and sauna that is descent. (They only clean it once a week, Monday afternoon). This main lodge is only open 9am-10pm. It is an attraction the park has, so many people may be paying to use the sauna as well. The second bath house which is particularly for the RV Park is COLD, and not clean. I wish they would heat this building, because there is no way I could shower in there. It must have been 40 degrees in the cement building. Over-all, it is a friendly park, with nice people, but it has a run down, too laid-back feeling at times. No good water. Fine for overnight. Safe. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Located on site of Jackson Wellsprings sulphur hot springs. Overgrown grass/weeds, almost all long term trailers/mobile homes not well kept. Nice residents, hippie-like lifestyle. Water hook-ups provide sulphur water. Facilities in very poor condition, not clean. OK if only overnighting, but not for short/long term stay while on vacation. Free admission to hot springs while in RV slot. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very convenient park for overnighting. It's literally right off the freeway, easy to pull in, pay, put the jacks down and hook up, and go the next morning. No shade to speak of, but all the hook ups work. It feels exposed, being basically part of the econolodge parking lot, but we felt safe, and it was really quiet. You get use of the laundry and pool at the motel, which was a bonus. Cable is very good with 90+ channels. Decent Wi-Fi signal from inside my trailer all the way across the motel parking lot. If you're either doing an over night stay, or if you'll be out of the camper a lot, this would be a decent option. The others in this area are a bit more spendy, and farther away. Worked perfectly for me. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
