Vasa Park Resort - Bellevue, WA

The location was selected since it was convenient to the airport and we needed a spot that we could easily return to after a late night pick up. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very unpleasant woman. She looked at the RV and said rudely “What are you doing here”. We responded we are here to check in. She rudely again she said “Are you sure, well pull out of the way and I will check”. Once she determined we had a reservation she became friendly.

The sites are very small about 40’ by 12’. This extremely important if you have pets, as they are only allowed in your site not in the rest of the park. You pick nick table water and 15 AMP hook up is at the end of the site. The water and electric are on a shared pedestal, so your typical 25’ length may not be sufficient to reach the pedestals. The tables are lined up in a row with your neighbors. Some of the sites shared a grill, on many they were missing. On the side we were on the table was large chain-link fence covered in vines. That was nice barrier except the wild black berry vines hanging over the fence. For those of you not familiar, wild black berries have very large thorns on them. During the day the park is crowded and it looks more like tailgating before a big game then a campground. Once the day use people leave it’s a little less crowded but given the site size and lay out do not expect any privacy.

My wife left the campground after hours an off duty employee was standing around and watched her get out of the open the gate, pull the vehicle up, get out and close the gate. I understand they were off duty but I am from the south and its rude not to offer a helping hand, especially if you are just standing around. The final straw for me was in the morning when I went to the showers and found the coin operating machinery jammed. I could have waited until 9 AM for the employee’s living onsite to go on duty and repair the shower but decided I would rather head down town to the market.

I would recommend this place as an overnight stop near the airport but I would not recommend a multiday stay. There is access to the lake if you are traveling with a boat, kayak or SUP.

Koa in Kent is very close to Starbucks. Its also not necessary to get on the freeway for Airport access.

There are closer parks in Kent and Renton, and better ones too.
There are also parks in the Fife/Puyallup area would be easier to get to the airport from.
Heck, DashPoint SP is closer.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

Your review is pretty much what is reflected on RvParkReviews.com with most giving average ratings. Not surprised it was busy being summer and at a lake, sometimes even the best parks have issues when they are packed. We make every attempt to stay at non-private parks but this past weekend we had to endure a packed private facility, at least hookups were in good working order.

Near? It's 17 miles from the airport.

There is maybe ONE Rv park in the Seattle area I'd even consider, and that's Lake Pleasant in Bothell. Definitely not near the airport.
