This is one of Washington's best state parks if you like: a forest setting, mostly shaded sites, and the occasional jet (you are very close to a naval base). If you are planning on camping here over a weekend, you will need a reservation. Note; have only camping in the serviced sites (electric and water) which is called The Forest Loop. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful campground within tall pines. Sites varied from very large and private, to smaller and less private. Wonderful beaches on the sound as well as a good sized lake for paddling and fishing. Only 2 downsides-- showers required tokens, which were only available at the front gate (which I was not informed of until I tried to take a shower), and the park is located near an active Naval Air Station that had many extremely loud military jets taking off and landing the first day we were there. Fortunately, they did not have much activity the rest of the weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is great! However, the campground is very tight to pull a big rig around. In some places there are just a few inches of space to fit through the trees. The paved roads are narrow and passing calls for going in the mud. There are large rocks placed in the sites that can interfere with maneuvers. Once you get in great! Enjoy fishing, hiking, biking, boating, Geocaching, and access to local attractions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We agree with previous comments regarding the management. Extremely rude and unfriendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would rather use a negative number, but it can not go under 1. Our family came to this campsite for a nice weekend. Instead my husband was assaulted by the manager for having a fire outside our trailer. She told us to put the fire out because it was too windy (the fire was within the pit, very small). My husband told her if you are asking us then you better go to the other campers and put their fire out (their fire had 3ft flames). Her comment was no one else had a fire. My husband went up to the other trailer to see what she would say, and instead she pushed my husband out of the way so far back that he almost hit the ground and told him to mind his own business. My husband is not a light weight either. He didn't want to hit her in fear the police would put him away. The campground used to be great, with great managers. It wasn't until the new manager came that the camp has become non-family oriented. She is extremely rude. We had been going to this campsite for more than 8 years, and now we tell everyone don't bother going. Someone needs to let the owners know how much business they are losing for having such a loser for a manager! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would give it a 1 rating were it not so conveniently located. First and foremost, the manager lady is extremely rude and very difficult to speak with. My wife and I are full-timing here and we just avoid her as much as possible. Second, they claim to have cable TV. They don't. What they DO have is over-the-air broadcast TV that doesn't come in at all. They acknowledge that there is a problem but they refuse to get it fixed. Third, they advertise free WiFi. It rarely works and when it does, it is very slow. Slower than the old 14.4 modems. We just use our cell phones. For long-term stays, electricity is NOT free so add that on to the $400/month you'll pay. The spaces are pretty close together but allow a small amount of room. Larger RVs would be better off finding a different park. Restroom facilities are well maintained as is the laundry room (laundry is fairly expensive at $1.50 wash/$1.00 dry). I work at NAS Whidbey Island and there are a few of us Navy personnel living here full-time. It is very close to the "back gate" so commuting is easy. It is also right across the highway from Deception Pass State Park which has a great ocean view and some nice, solitary camping spots. Overall, I would NOT stay here if I had a choice. The RV park is nothing to write home about but does have more trees and is less windy than the RV park in the city of Oak Harbor. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first visit and we will definitely return. Campground is owned & maintained by the City of Oak Harbor and sits directly beside the beautifully maintained, very large city park. The city park is many acres of water front property although you can't see the water from the campground. Campground is combo of gravel and paved. Although clean the actual sites are a bit close. This ISN'T a resort campground. Some have a small patch of grass between the sites but most do not. The big sell here is the amazing city park, with every park amenity imaginable. I understand that during the summer the park has all array of weekend activities. Big down side is that they don't take reservations as there is no on-site attendant, it's first come first serve. We have been told it can be very difficult to get a site during the summer months. It is my understanding that the $20 a night fee hasn't increased in many years and is the same price all year. This one is definitely worth the stay. A big thanks to the City of Oak Harbor for a lovely, affordable, maintained campground! There should be one in every city! We camped here in a Motorhome.

City RV park located in the Oak Harbor City Park adjacent to the beach. 100 yard easy walk to the beach. 56 sites. No reservations. 30 consecutive days max stay. Check-out at Noon. Check-in anytime a site is available. Sites 1-19 and 44-56 are satellite friendly (DirecTV and DataStorm internet). Nicely maintained. Great July 4th city fireworks show. Tent sites available. Stayed three weeks. Never liked the old name of City Beach Trailer Camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
