OUR RATING (1-5): I - 4.7

NOTES: This was only the third time we've stayed at a commercial RV park in the past four years, but we really wanted to include this in our data because of its location and its cleanliness. It was a rainy afternoon. We had checked out a NFS area about 10 miles up the Rogue River. It was lovely but not really for us. For whatever reason we decided to stop by this commercial RV park right on the Pacific Ocean. The man in the office was very nice. He even helped me back in because I couldn't see anything in my mirrors because of the rain. Our site looked out at the south jetty of Gold Beach. We could see the waves crash. We walked along the jetty and beach several times during our stay. I imagine that the place is packed during season, but we were there in mid-April so we had things to ourselves. For an old commercial park it was quite roomy. It was far from the usual putting your hand on the side of your neighbor's unit when you walk out your door. The facilities were clean and well maintained.
