Yes this place is in a "backyard" of sorts. The owners are kind of eclectic if you will, but very friendly and helpful. So here are my take aways from the trip. I am not sure of the bathroom /shower situation, but the owner did tell me that there was showers that took quarters and not for very long- We had our own bathroom so there was not a need for that. There are full hook ups, but no cable at the time we visited, but the WiFi wasn't too bad. Spaces were reasonable. You have a picnic table and a fire ring. Most of the people there live there, but everyone pretty much kept to themselves. We were in space 6 and had a fun chatty neighbor with a kitty. Like I said, lets keep the area weird. This isn't like a commercial park, so no set or established rules, but I think you can use your own common sense on what you should and should not do. The park was very quiet but there literally is no cell signal so no way to call out so I would keep that in mind. This is also a lot further away from Astoria. I say, if you want quiet and away from it all, this is perfect. If you want to be near town in the thick of it or closer, not for you. Overall, a nice and place and pretty laid back. I'd go back. read more

See all

Oh where to begin. First of all, this place is awful pretty. The spaces between RV's spots are decently spaced out and the campgrounds are well kept. The cons wildly outmatch the pros. This is basically on the managers property. There are no rules posted. No receipts given. And certainly no respect to those of who are different. Let me explain. My husband and I are in a same-sex relationship. We had been relocating to Astoria and we had been moving from site to site to site, from campground to campground to campground, in Warrenton every 2-3 days at this time given that we were their during the height of summer (i.e. tourism) until we could find a home. We were told by my brother-in-law about this place. We thought...great! Turns out the owner allows month-to-month space rentals during the summer. Awesome right!? About a few days after we arrived the owner asked for some contact information for us. When my husband wrote down my name...he asked if "Ricky was a girl." My partner replied, "No, that's my husband." Effectively ending that conversation rather quickly with the owner and awkwardly. We are traveling with the two dogs and the owner was aware of this. People seem to have dogs here all the time. Unattended. Barking. However, it seemed like we were singled out for some things that I will list below that involved our dogs. My mother-in-law came down to visit and and came by the trailer to pick up a few things while we were at work. The dogs were barking for like a minute. My dogs hardly ever bark, but given that it was her vehicle that was parked in our driveway that they didn't recognize...I would say that's typical dog behavior. The wife of the owner decided to scold my mother-in-law stating something along the lines that "they can't behave like that." My mother-in-law explained what she was doing there and why they were barking. However, the owner's wife replied, "I know, I've been watching you." Seriously!? What a weird thing to say. Was she concerned that she was stealing something? Because funny enough no one called us concerned about her being there. This next incident we will take some responsibility for. We both work in Astoria and our dogs got out of the trailer. I am not sure if I forgot to lock the door, the dogs somehow unlocked the door, or in the worse case scenario someone was trying to get into our trailer and fiddling with the lock (I never leave my doors unlocked). I don't know what happened. The fact is that they got out and I apologized for that when the owner called to alert me and said I would leave work and take care of it as soon as I could (I got there like 20-25 minutes after I had called him back). However, instead of trying to be sympathetic or understanding at all the owner decides to scold me that the dogs are NEVER to be left unattended even in the trailer by themselves and that he somehow communicated that with us. This guy couldn't give us a consistent rent price for the month...now he saying he told us we couldn't even leave them in the trailer when they have water and the windows are open? I've stayed at KOA, Kampers West, and Fort Stevens. None of them had this policy. I asked him, "well what am I supposed to do what when both of us have to work?" He said quite angrily, "I don't know!". He left me no choice, but to take my dogs with me in my small Toyota Corolla where they stayed while I worked IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER until we finally got to Kampers West. We didn't have another place lined up for a week and we didn't want to get kicked out. Plus, he couldn't care less. I am lucky enough that my employer allowed me for a whole week to take extra breaks so I could give my dogs some water and take them for a walk. We ultimately left a week or so earlier than we had to, because we couldn't stand the stares we were getting or the way we had been treated up until that point. We didn't even ask for a refund. Why bother? Oh and one last thing...when I am sleeping in the morning I would highly prefer if the owner doesn't blast Rush Limbaugh radio while he's working on his property right outside my travel trailer. I should've known from then on that he was sending us a message. That we weren't welcomed here. read more

This is my third time coming to the Klaskanine River RV Park. Before the first time I found a very negative review telling about the owner changing the price after getting there. So, I asked for written confirmation concerning dates and the price. I wish I had done the same this time. I told him we had three kids with us this time and there is where the problem started when we got there. While making the reservation I asked him what the daily rate were and I wrote it down. When we got there he charged us extra for four children (we only brought three). I showed him his quoted daily rate that I had wrote down while making the reservation. All he wanted to do was argue with me. He didn't even refund me for the invisible fourth kid! The camper next to us told me that he charged them for an extra car. As soon as we got there an old man that lives there asked my husband to drive him to the store. He bought booze and cigarettes. At this point I don't feel that the children are safe walking to the restroom by themselves. It is definitely NOT a family park. I will never stay at this place again! read more

This park isn't a KOA-it's in the owners backyard, sort of. It's also not fancy and 11 miles from Astoria. What this park is - quiet, pretty, chill vibe and relaxing. It is surrounded by a huge grassy area with a swing set and room to run around. There is access to the river behind the grassy area and a place to sit there and chill out. The owners aren't around much to bug you and you're basically on your own for behavior but we enjoyed the tucked away feeling and the privacy. Large spot to park and water, electric and sewer. No tv in the park so time to read and draw or whatever. I accidentally stumbled upon the park trying to find somewhere in the area and I'm glad I did. I would recommend an open mind to the quirkiness of the place. read more
