RV Park reviews

I typically don't bother with park reviews, I post a question on this forum and ask for input from our members about campgrounds or an area that I'm interested in.

Since the forums have been in existence, I have never been steered wrong by fellow members on campgrounds.

Go to Tripadvisor.com and type in the name of the campground and it's location. There may be more reviews there.

Old reviews is why I now use Tripdavisor or Good Sam ratings

Double the price tells me it is cheap - you get what you pay for

Check the good Sam rating

Now, that right there is funny. I think the Good Sam reviews are the worst gauge of how good a campground is.

One old rating could be lots of things. Number one is the fact that people are too lazy to post reviews. The CG may be a little one off the beaten path. It could be closed. Website? Check the other possible sources of info as suggested. Have a plan B if it does not pass the driveby test.

Its Sunset Landing in Lincoln City Ore. Its a Passport America site and they offer the discount for a full stay while the others don't. The reviewer usually gives good reviews and his objections sound valid. I guess I'll just try to stay at the state park, you generally can't go wrong with that.

I agree. All reviews are mostly opinions. I may look at them but I don't rely on them totally when deciding. I have found some gems that had mixed reviews. OP- I'd go there and try it, you may enjoy your stay. After all how much time will spent at the campground vs visiting local sights.

Double ditto. Their website shows some very nice features from the photos. It's the kind of place we'd enjoy I'm sure. The suggestion of state parks is an excellent one as well.

They have a facebook page that was last updated in July 2012 maybe the campground is belly up

I would try for Devils Lake or Beverly Beach state park

There is another PPA park listed in Lincoln City: Chinook Bend. It has more recent reviews and they're fairly good.

i drove out to look at it a couple of years ago and yes it is in a field,
it looked like almost all were seasonal residents, mostly fishermen.
not a lot there but was very reasonable for the coast
