I cannot recommend this RV campground. The management was never cordial, rude may be a better word. After staying a night there I discovered I had a leak in my roof. I tried to cover only the roof with a white tarp. It was not noticeable from the ground. The manager came and said that no tarps are allowed. I had to remove my tarp and let the rain do it's damage. When looking around the park I saw tarps over boats and there were ugly pieces of machinery out in the open. Why was this allowed? Happy Thanksgiving to me. I could have kept out the rain with even a little understanding on the part of the management. I would think people would help someone when help is needed. Hoquiam River RV Park management is not that kind of people. I cant recommend this RV park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As others have stated, this park has almost all the desired facilities: FHU, pull-through sites, good cable TV(70+ channels) and free, at site, Wi-Fi. It is a great park for the travelling RVers or groups but I would not recommend this park for families as there is no pool or other kids to play with. It was one of those parks that was almost too quiet: I walked around the park several times between 3PM and 9PM and there was almost nobody out and about. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Gravel roads and sites. Older park with a lot of long term rigs staying there. Some even had wooden decks and storage sheds. Wi-Fi was fast and worked well. The owners are friendly. Good central location to Ocean Shores, Westport, and ocean beaches. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They said they were pet friendly: but if your pets make any noise, they shut off your power. If they keep making noise you will be asked to leave the park. So while my husband and I were at work, our dogs had to come with us, we were not allowed to leave them in the RV. Also, we had guests over one night and they were stopped at the gate and told they had to leave or park outside of the park. We moved to a different RV Park after that. I've never been to an RV park where no one is allowed outside their rigs to enjoy themselves. We have never felt so unwelcomed at an RV park before in our lives. So if you are planning to be in the Hoquiam area, stay elsewhere. The operators at this park are very rude. I would not recommend this RV park to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older RV park but is a nice stop for a night or two. Interior roads and sites are gravel, interior roads can be a little rough in spots. Clubhouse with laundry and showers is very nice/clean. Managers were very friendly and helpful. Pull-thru sites are very long (maybe 60ft) with all services at the rear of the site. We stayed in an end site (#38) which had a small concrete patio and looks right out on the river with a great view. Only 3 end sites in the park with this view and privacy. WiFi and cable TV worked fine. Easy drive to Ocean Shores and a drive on the beach. Would stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The grounds and landscaping are so-so, but the Office and Clubhouse appear to be relatively new and just cute!!! Laundry and shower rooms were very clean! The Clubhouse appears inviting, and people were playing games and watching TV in the Clubhouse. The managers were very friendly and helpful. The pull-through sites are quite long! If you are in a shorter rig (30 feet or less) and get put in a pull-through, you need to park near the back of the slot. If you pull all the way to the front (as you might be tempted to do), you will be far away from the connections. I asked for a "river spot" and the managers said, "we laugh when people ask that question." There aren't any "river" spots, but it's a short walk to the river, where you can sit on some benches and enjoy the view. The wireless worked great! They have it locked down with an access key. The one negative about this park is that the spots are close together in that you can look out your window to the patio and picnic table of the RV next to you. If your neighbors are eating on the picnic table, you can open your window and say, "Pass the ketchup." We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent a week here. This is not a "resort" by any means, but it's one of the quietest campgrounds we've visited. We had a nice view of the river and a family of deer walked through our patio. There are many permanent residents but they are friendly and quiet. They do have a little junk spread around but much less so than many parks we have stayed in. The town of Hoquiam has experienced some hard times and is somewhat depressing, but Ocean Shores is nearby and this is as close to it as you can get and still have Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are spotless and the owners are friendly. We'd definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stay here every year and do enjoy the park. The monthly sites are in a separate area and did not detract from our visit. Site #8 is the best. We enjoyed the river from our living room. Staff is great and the place is peacefully. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for one night . The people were really nice but there are a lot of full timers at the park. The river is close by but it's not river front in that you have to walk to the river and you can't really see it from any site. We felt uncomfortable in the park and the sites are really really tight and close to each other. Our RV main door was basically on top of the dump for the next site over. We did a quick one night stop and we left early. Everything else was good, but we would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly staff running a peaceful park. Lot of long term rigs in here, but they were also friendly. This is a busy park that fills up often, but they try to keep everyone happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is still the nicest campground in Grays Harbor. Owners/staff very happy to have you and it shows. Quite, friendly, beautiful. We will stay here whenever we are in Grays Harbor area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the first time of probably many stays here. They were really nice about my checking in early and out late as they weren't really busy. The owners are very pleasant, as was the camp host. The sites are level gravel, the hook-ups were handy, there was plenty of room on the interior roads for any size rig and were long enuff for my TT and TV. It is right on the edge of the river and has fishing, kayaking, and rafting possibilities. BD. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Roads are gravel. This is a new park and it shows! Everything about this place shows care. Beautiful setting along the river. Great to sit and watch. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here in the summers of 2003 (the year it opened) and 2004. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and maintain a clean, neat park. It is big rig friendly. They did not have picnic tables at that time which would be nice to have. Our Verizon cell phone had a poor signal strength here resulting in "dropped calls", likely due to the nearby hills. The owner accomodated us by connecting us to a land phone. A great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
