Very nice park with helpful managers and a very quiet atmosphere. Shaded sites though ours was more sunny We will look forward to staying there again soon We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has an ideal location, nearby to delightful Leavenworth and Wenatchee. It has wonderful views, many large grassy recreation areas,excellent cable tv, and other highly attractive features. But, it does not have wi-fi nor does it have a modem connection. The roads are atrocious, and the gravel sites need tons of gravel to make them useful. This park, with some investment, could be a top 10 park for Washington. As it is, the terrible the lack of wi-fi or modem connections, the poor gravelling of sites, and other factors that could be fixed, bring a 10 rating down to a 6. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Have stayed here dozens of times over 20 years. Our favorite anywhere. New management took over about 5 years ago & tremendous improvement. Sunny or shady sites, whichever you prefer. Seasonal types keep to themselves & never cause any problems for campers. Quiet time & dog rules enforced. Great for group (15-30) I take there year after year. Not posh, but a great place for a fun weekend or longer. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at Blu-Shastin RV Park for 2 nights in the fall of 2002. This park is located on the Blewett Pass Highway-HWY 97 about 12 miles from Leavenworth. The site we had was along the river and was spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful. We are planning to stay 3 nights again this fall. There were seasonal sites that at first made me concerned, but don't let them put you off. The overnight camping spots are very nice. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Sites on the river have shade, the only other shade is in the seasonal (permanant) area. When you first enter the park, you see the seasonal sites in front of you. Seasonal sites had some trailers that looked permanant, and the trailers were old and unkept. The overnighter area looked fine. Sites were unlevel on the riverfront (didn't check the interior). Could use another layer of gravel on the roads and sites. Management let you pick your own site if they aren't booked up. Sites were all fairly decent sized. Picnic tables and fire rings at all the sites. This place is about 10 miles from Leavenworth. If you want to go there, you are better off at Icicle River or the KOA. A little fix-up would definately improve the place. We camped here in a camper.

We lucked into a site (#111) which is a little bit of a climb but sits on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Icicle River. The sites are close as previous reviewers have noted. But, it is a very nice park and ideally located. It's probably the nicest one in the area. I don't believe I felt "packed in like a sardine". They were full but we didn't feel all that uncomfortable. Their WIFI is a little lacking but it is free. No pool but a nice spa that my husband used and liked. Office staff very nice. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Some of the sites are right on the river, but you can hear the river throughout the park. The sites on the river are back-in, not pull-through, and they tend to be narrower than the sites set back slightly from the river. There is not a whole lot of privacy. Some of the riverside sites were dusty; others were gravel. Wifi was weak and spotty, and the same is true of the cell coverage. Great location -- lots of hiking nearby, throughout the Icicle Creek area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have read the past reviews and have found this park to be the best in the area. It is well maintained and cared for. Both the manager couples were very friendly and helpful to all the people we saw them with. They even would stop by if they saw you outside, to see how everything is going and to offer insight of events that are currently going on in the area. The showers are pay, and some of the river front sites are close together for units with slides. We were off the river and had plenty of room to stretch out, and could hear the river running all the time. We had a great time here and we stayed for 5 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great views, great location close to Leavenworth. Managers were very nice and helpful. Very clean laundry facility though only two washers and dryers. Showers were clean. Had several common eating shelters for family gatherings etc. We were in site 17 backing onto the river, great location. Will definitely set up a future trip based on staying at this park. Nicest Rv park we've ever stayed in given the park, scenery and proximity to things to do (Leavenworth, Wenatchee). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in a river front site. Very nice, however there was no grass at our site. We were in a 31 foot motorhome and it takes some maneuvering to back out of the site. Check in is very organized, the managers are out on the road to greet you and have walkie talkies on to communicate with the desk personnel. They have very strict leash rules on pets. Would recommend calling 3 months in advance if you plan to stay in the summertime. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We usually make it to Leavenworth about once a year and Stay at the KOA in town. This year we decided to try Icicle River and were severely dissapointed. First, there must be new campground managers since the previous reviews because these people were not one bit friendly as we expected. Also, the sites are packed in like sardines. Our particular site shared a drive with our next door neighbors. One good thing about the place is that if you can get past the packed in feeling, the scenery is gorgeous. The sites right on the river are just that - right on the river! I'm talking a few feet from this raging force! I wouldn't recommend staying at these sites with small kids when the river is rushing that fast. The restrooms and showers were clean. Unfortunately we won't be staying here again as long as the same managers are running the place. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The park is nicely decorated and several miles from town, many sites are right against the river. Not a large park for the number of rigs squeezed in there. We drove through it and stayed elsewhere because it was so cramped. Seemed more appealing to adults. However, continue on about 10 miles further into the canyon and find the well-maintained Icicle Gorge Loop Trail (3 miles). It was stunning in October! Much of it runs along the river and our dogs loved it too. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Agree with early post--good but not a top 100 campground. Clean and good repair. We were in an upper space (90) that backed to the road--some road noise in early am and early evening. While the park had wifi, it did not reach the upper locations--had to take the puter to office area. Their brochure advertises shuttle to town (4 miles) but when asked the office to use, they did not offer. Lots of kids in campground but not really much for them--in fact number of "rules" baring under 14 from spa and putting green. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean well maintained park. It appears to be an older park with sites scattered here and there. A lot of the sites have side by side hookups. Our site was one of those and we had to pull in facing a hill (no view). The neighbors slide and our slide were only one foot apart. We could look into each others living rooms. Some streets are paved and some are gravel. We were in a 39 foot motorhome and didn't have any more problems navigating this park than others we have stayed at. Sites were concrete, gravel or grass. Most were reasonably level. They only have 30 amp. We could have used 50 amp since the temperature was approaching 100 degrees. WiFi was free and worked good at our site close to the office, don't know how well it worked at the other sites. The park is surrounded by mountains, but it looked like a lot of the trees have been burned in a forest fire. It is a nice park, but I don't think it is "one of the 100 best campgrounds by Good Sam" or "one of the Top 2 Washington State Resorts" that their advertising says. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I read earlier comments about the tightness of this park and the difficulty in getting in and out, and they are correct. Nevertheless, we just completed a week here, and would come back again and again, even if we had to slather the sides of the RV with vaseline. This beautiful park is surrounded on all sides by soaring, majestic mountains,and has a bold river, the Icicle River, running right through it. No matter where you are in the park, you can hear the river bubbling and gurgling over the rocks. Also, I cannot adequately describe the people who run this park but I can say they are the kindest, most helpful people I have ever encountered in an RV park. The staff is constantly roaming around the park, helping people park, making sure everything is okay, bringing anything you might need, and doing all they can to make your stay better. We have stayed at parks that cost millions to build, but have never stayed at a warmer, more cozy, more comfortable one than this one. Despite the "tightness" of the park, it is well worth your visit. And, speaking of visiting, you must plan on spending time in the city of Leavenworth. The town is totally and completely a Bavarian village with wonderful shops and outstanding German restaurants. You will love this place! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have never bee crammed in so tight in 2 and half years of fulltiming. The site we were in and most of the river front site are side by side. We could not open our blinds because of the other rv's were 3 ft away. The river sites require a year advance reservation. I had to rake up the pine needles up in my site they were so thick after two nights of wind. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Would get a 10, but nothing for the kids to do. Management says that's what the KOA down the street is for. Rated one of the 100 best campgrounds by Good Sam, and for good reasons. Very clean, employees always walking around to make sure everything is clean and running. The site I had was very well shaded which is nice for a pop-up. It was a very warm weekend for June. Fire rings not available at all sites. Firewood sold at camp store. Fair amount of basic supplies if you forget something. I'll go here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice park, quiet, not as much for children todo but does have a river, putting green and a nice clean atmosphere. Some spaces were a bit on the short side. We could hardly park our tow vehicle out of the road at our site. Stayed there a week while touring the area. Would go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We recently spent 5 days here and overall, liked it very much. The RV Park is situated along the banks of the Icicle River and some sites back to the river. There is a small swimming and wading beach on the river which delights young children. There is a laundry facility, hot tub, putting green and pavillion on the premises. Many large rigs camping here are renting spaces for a month or longer. The overnight spots are limited and all in the same area. Reservations are a good idea as the park is very crowded during the dry summer months. The management is helpful and friendly. The park was very well maintained and facilities were clean. You get a 10% discount with your Good Sam or AAA card. Our only complaint is the overnight spots are too close together - so much so that a slideout was just inches from our trailer window. Some of the sites are short so that it is difficult to park your car without sticking out into the main road. There were traffic jams in the morning as big rigs were preparing to check out. We camped here in a camper.

Very nice park. Entrance/exit road somewhat narrow and would make 2-way traffic kozy. Many sites appear to be only 25-30 feet long, but some are larger. This could mean parking your vehicle sideways in front of your coach hanging out into the road, making it interesting for others to get by. This caused minor traffic jam when leaving on Sunday when trucks would be hooking up to trailers, they stuck out into the road blocking traffic. Not much else you could do, though. May need to back your rig down the road to your site. Most interior roads are paved. Some sites have concrete pads, while others are gravel. My site (#82) was gravel, a bit downhill to the rear and an inch off from being level side-to-side. Needed to use several blocks for rear stabilizers. All have grass area, picnic table and fire ring. No pool, but nearby river is nice and cold. Exactly 3 miles from Highway 2, so watch your odometer because sign might be hard to see (kind of small and down low). Nice place to stay for a few days. We camped here in a camper.

Very clean park. Employees were always out walking around making sure everything looked good. Only 3 miles from town, real convienant location. We camped here in a camper.

The north camp sites are better suited for RV's as they have power and water. I believe all the sites have been upgraded to 50 amp service (our site was anyway). Awesome privacy. Wonderful hiking. Great swimming. Lots of play areas for the kids! Only improvement we'd like is sewer hookup - but it is a State Park. We left this campground to stay at Thousand Trails with some friends. Funny, we kept driving back to this park to swim and play! We would absolutely stay here again. It's wonderful! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was very full. There were only 3 sites available, one with deluxe hook-ups, one with water and electric near front entrance and a LOT of large families and one in the "meadow". After I paid my $45 I found out this was in the back across a small meadow from the back of the Safeway store. I was told it would be quiet, but you could hear the truck traffic clearly. The ground was very wet, but fairly firm. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This KOA was horrid! We were packed in so tightly you could barely breathe! The place was a mud hole and some of the workers swore so much it would make a sailor blush. It was too expensive and very noisy. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

It was very nice. It had a great location with a very nice river area to swim at. The staff is very pleasant also. Enjoyed stay very much. Don't know what anybody else on this page is talking about. They even have free firewood as long as you chop it yourself. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the meadow. The sites are 19' wide, and the next door awning was touching my unit. Would not stay again for free. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very good for a KOA. The property is very large with a great variety of site size and layout. We are here early in their season and find them still busy getting everything cleaned up and ready for the Maifest that happens in Leavenworth. Within walking distance of down town Leavenworth and "Worth" the price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our stay at The Pine village KOA in Leavenworth WA was a very dissapointing experience. The sewer leachfield was overflowing when we got there and smelled awfull throughout the campground. The site we were assigned was not level and was just a muddy hole in a crowded field. We could have accepted these minor problems, but the owner and his sister were the most unpleasant part of the whole trip. They were rude and uncaring, and seemed more intent on screaming at each other, and their harried staff, than on helping solve issues. We have stayed at several KOA's in the past with varied opinions, but this one is about the worst we have come accross. If you are seeking an overcrowded and noisy environment with no organization then this may just be the place you are looking for. For ourselves, this stay ruined our entire KOA camping experience and we will Never return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is pretty good, but we were in a meadow site this trip and I won't do that again. There are a lot of activities for the kids, but it gets a little bit crowded and the meadow sites aren't big. The playground is fantastic and the hay ride was really fun for our son. We would go back, but we would book earlier so as to not have to stay in a meadow site again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

As a retired couple we did not find this to be the over-crowded, kids gone wild KOA others have described. The park was full and kids were being kids, but we have seen a lot worse. We were able to get quality pool time both days we were there and enjoyed walking to and from town. There is a scheduled shuttle for those of you not up to walking 4-5 miles round trip. Not for those seeking peace and quiet during the summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the second time we have stayed at this KOA. Spots are tight, found cigarette butts in our site and it is a little over priced. We made reservations and when we showed up I asked to look at the spot first and happy that I took the time to do so. They did offer us another spot to look at too, which was a lot better than the one they had chosen at the time of our reservation. The restrooms have been clean both times we have stayed and this is one thing I am very picky about. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Park has many amenities, pool, espresso-ice cream stand, store, many activities and the river has a nice sandy beach. The problem is the tightness of the sites. There is no privacy at all and all you see from your windows is other rigs or tents. It is also the noisiest park we have stayed in. The quite time is 11 and there is yelling and screaming right up to 11. If you like no privacy or natural setting and don't mind the noise it is a great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was like camping in a parking lot. It was so crowded - I will never camp here again. The sewer dump at the site next to ours backed up and they finally came to fix it, then sprayed down our entire site with a hose creating giant stinky mudpuddles that were there the entire 3 days we stayed. The kids enjoyed the pool but it was so crowded that they really couldn't play. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is close to downtown area. We even walked it once and large grocery nearby. They provide shuttle service if you don't want to drive. A large park, lots of sites, but not an overly cramped feel and in the woods. Family owned/family oriented amenities. Great Saturday morning pancake breakfast. We enjoyed chopping our own campfire wood from the provided log pile. We especially liked the numerous little trails around the park for walking our dogs. Several led down to the scenic river. Camp store offers camp items and gifts. We have a motorhome and will likely stay again because it's both scenic and close to town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely the worst KOA or RV resort We have ever camped at. We were so tightly packed in - the only view was of other RV's. The owners have a house across from the camp ground where they come and go at all hours - racing as fast as they can, raising dust, making noise, not to mention the danger to all the kids in the park. I have to admit the facilities we're clean, and staff were presentable, but not overly friendly. When we arrived, landed in the middle of a heated arguement between our new neighbors and one of the staff, who tried to draw us in on the dispute. They parked us in a mud hole, that would not dry up all week(we all know how much fun this is). They have a great site along the river for swimming, unfortunately they don't enforce the "NO FISHING" rule - So you have to take your chances swimming around ignorant anglers submersed hooks. They kept packing people in until the wee hours of the morning, everyone in the RV area was disgruntled and grumpy cause of the lack of sleep. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was the worse KOA campground that we have ever stayed at. Campers were packed in like sardines, it was dusty with children riding on go-carts in and among the campers and people trying to get to their sites. We had already paid for one night, and planned to stay for 3, but did ask for our money back after we saw what it was like and when they tried to put us in a campsite that our 22ft truck/camper would not even fit in. They did not give us our money back and had stated there were no other campsites available, but did give us another one, finally. There were approximately 8 childrens bikes in the first site right next to ours, and when they changed our site, finally, there were 4 bikes leaning on the post for out water, electric, etc. Campers and many tents were at almost each camp site, along with dogs who used the common grassy area for their "business". It was awful and I would never recommend anyone stay at this KOA. They brought bus loads of people to the campground for tubing on the Wenatchee River. Evidently a popular place if you like very unruly children and dogs and packed in like rats or sardines. One motorhome camper leaving yelled to us "KOA sucks, so don't spend your money here". Wish we had just turned around right then. This, as I stated, is the worse KOA campground we have ever stayed at. The local people at the Safeway and Gas Station called it the rat hole. We agree! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Sites are to close together and they don't seem to have strict dog barking policy. We will not stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As KOA's go, this one wasn't bad. You could hear the rumble of the train across the river, but no train whistles in the wee hours of the morning (or at any other time). Swimming pool was decent size. Sites were level (at least ours was). Office/store was cramped, but well stocked with food, soda, camping/RV supplies and souvenirs. Narrow roads and no check-in parking area caused some delays getting in/out. Large speed bumps on access road were a pain! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the second time we've stayed here and it is convenienent to Leavenworth.It's nice,but a little tight in places and our spot was right next to where you park to register and I got awfully tired of listening to P/s and Cummins diesels....Paid $28 for 1 nite and $38 for the second, not sure about that,but didn't notice it till after we left....The management was REALLY nice, all of it.... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
