The problem with this park is that very few sites allow you to get TV reception because of the many very tall trees. We did have AT&T cell reception and on some sites our WI-FI connection worked. Thousand Trails parks are all in need of some TLC. This park is no different; however, better managed and cared for than most. Small park and staff was very pleasant. Previous descriptions of amenities are accurate. However, pool area and miniature golf, while adequate, could have been excellent with painting and some repairs. Only a few sites on the sewer side have 50 AMP. River side has 50 AMP and water; but no sewer. We stayed on the sewer side. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I really can't believe the previous high ratings for this place. We are long time Thousand Trails members and have been full timing for a few years now and this is just another substandard TTN park. The main part of the park is full hook up and separated from the river sites by a road. The river sites have no sewer and it is difficult to get Sat. reception anywhere in the park, though Direct is a little easier to get than Dish is, at least at the river sites where we were. As mentioned before, Verizon cell is good but we had to use the booster for the air card. Families will like the pools and the clubhouse is OK as is the mini golf. Our biggest complaint is that many of the sites are very close together, especially on the river side and the strangest thing we found was that they didn't bother to put showers or restrooms on that side. You actually have to cross a Hwy. to get to a restroom or a dump station from the side with no sewer connections. When you leave, if you want to dump, you have to exit a gate, drive down the road, enter the main part of the park, drive through the park and head back to the main entrance to enter the dump station. I would really like to meet the genius that designed this place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Thunderbird Resort is a Thousand Trails and affiliates campground. Wi-Fi in the lodge only, good Verizon cell and air card signal. We had no over the airwaves antenna TV signal here. Each site has a picnic table. The park is split into 2 sides with Ben Howard Road separating the 2 parts. We are in FHU on the main side with 30 amp, volts a bit low at 111 volts with everyone running air conditioning. The Skykomish River side of the park has 50 amp power, but no sewer drops. The river side is up on a bluff above the river, but has a access road (think walking trail) down to the river bank. Park is clean and well groomed for as busy as it is, perhaps 95% full. On main side there is an adult only pool, family pool, spa (whirlpool/hot tub) for adults only, and a kiddie wading pool. Nice playground on main side for the kids, laundry room on river side of park. Main side also has shuffleboard, volleyball court, mini golf, horseshoe pits, etc. Book well ahead in busy season, as this park is relatively small and close to major population centers. We would stay here again for short stays. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a membership campground located about 5 miles outside of Monroe. One of the best we have stayed at. Nice sized sites, most pretty level. Section next to river doesn't have sewer, but does have great river views. Excellent staff. Nicely laid out park. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
