This park could be really nice. The staff and guests were very friendly, the pool was great, and the lake is lovely. Internet is fast, with three towers to insure a connection, and a 192/80 speed. However, there are ants. Lots of ants, which would keep me from staying here again. I felt that it should be the campground's responsibility to spray for them, not the guest's.

This park has friendly people and a good location. The driveway to the park is a little steep; we had to put our truck into 1st gear to inch up the slope to the office. A nice feature of this campground, since it is a bit unlevel, was the built-in deck at what seemed to be every site. There are trails down to the lake where you can fish or boat. I would have given the campground a higher rating save for the lack of Wi-Fi, a little upkeep, and that the dumpster was full both days we stayed. It was emptied the morning of our departure. The pool is always open, which increased my rating of this park.

This RV park is now under new management and a new name: Hanson Hills Campground. This is a nice park about 2 miles off the highway on a gravel road. The staff are friendly and helpful, our site was level and easy to pull into. For activities, the park offers fishing in a small, picturesque pond, swimming, horseshoes, a playground, and a kitchen serving breakfast and lunch. I would have given this place a higher rating except that the hot tub advertised on their billboard wasn't actually open yet, and no Internet. We would definitely stay here again if passing through, and for more than one night.

This is a small park with some train noise at night. Sites are a bit unlevel. The wireless Internet signal was strong, 160kb/20kb just on my computer. Cass, who checked us in, was extremely helpful and friendly. It's a good place to stop for a night.

We saw this park from the highway and decided to stop. Though it is located next to the highway, traffic noise was negligible. The owner lives on site and was very friendly and helpful. The park itself is very attractive with cottonwood trees, and grass level sites. It's really a meadow with hookups. Fire pits are located by the river. We saw a beaver, and moose are regularly spotted within the park, and on the 70 mile bicycle trail that runs by the front of the park. Internet was fast even with a poor signal. There are only 5 sites with sewer hookup, but there is a dump station. My rating was lowered because of this and the lack of pest control. Mosquitoes are rife! A nice relaxing place to camp. I would stay here again, and for longer than one night.

Jantzen Beach RV Park could be a great place to stay. The park is very well-maintained, neat, and easy to navigate, and though the staff isn't exceptionally friendly, they weren't particularly rude. They have a very reasonable weekly rate which we paid right away. We quickly regretted that decision for these reasons. The first is the incredible amount of noise here. You are nestled right between the train tracks and an air force base, so you get train horns all night and fighter jets flying over in the afternoon, impossible to ignore. Second, this park is on an island, and the only way to get there is on I-5, which is also the only way to get across the river to Washington. If you travel during rush hour, you will be trapped with all the commuters; no way to avoid it. At one point I was in park for 15 minutes 1 mile before the exit. Third, there is no beach at Jantzen Beach, not anymore. It is a huge mall space with Best Buy, Michaels, etc. Many of the sites (including ours) back up to the road behind the mall, with no fence separating the two. This led to a feeling of insecurity and additional noise from car traffic. If you plan to stay here and get a good night's sleep, make sure to pick up some earplugs.

This is an average park with some good points and some bad points. The staff is very friendly, but not very flexible. We extended our stay for two nights, but had to move sites for someone scheduled to check into our space for only one night. Though the park comes with a fairly scenic fishing pond with many ducks, the spaces close to it are taken by residents. The majority of spaces are a bit narrow and have a parking lot feel, mitigated somewhat by some hedges planted on either side. The dryers give you a whole hour of drying time for $1! The wireless Internet at the park is a hobby of one of the residents and costs $3 per day, fast even with a poor signal.

We drove past this park on the highway, and it looked so inviting that we stopped immediately. This is a beautifully landscaped park with tall trees and lush flowers. The pull through site we were first assigned was picturesque, but a little narrow for our 35' fifth wheel. We were able to change sites with no problem. The staff and campers here were extremely friendly, and a manager lives on site, so any problems can be dealt with at any hour. Laundry is still as cheap as it was in the last review, and the machines operate well. There were no river sites available, but a walkway/boat launch led to the water and more incredible views. I would have given this park a higher rating if they had WiFi. Absolutely lovely quiet park.
