American Sunset RV & Tent Resort — Attraction in Westport

We stayed at this park in August 2016 for a week with our family. My wife and I stayed in an RV, and across the road our Adult children and spouses along with our seven grandkids stayed in the tent area. We enjoyed the park and planned to come back in the future since we go to Westport a couple times a year. If had I written a review when we left I would have given it a high score since we were unaware of any issues. So why the low score now? Well my wife called to make a reservation for May and the first thing asked by them was if one of our sons (mentioned by name) was coming we said no not at this time. They said good because he is not welcome. We asked why and they said in our notes it stated he was drinking, partying and loud. Well he has never drank alcohol in his life and at 36 he suffers from early onset Parkinson’s after the removal of two brain tumors. So the only thing we can figure out is they got him confused with someone else or they saw him walking and thought he was intoxicated when it was really his disability. Then they read further and said that the people in the RV site was drinking, partying, and loud. Plus, we had large groups at our site and they can’t have that. Again, out of the eight adults only two of us drink anything and never was anyone intoxicated or partying. We were busy fishing and going to the beach. Yes, our family would come over to the RV for dinner and then we would go back to the tent site so the kids could go to bed. There was never music playing, loud noises and we respected quiet time. Then further in their notes it stated that we were over in the vacant RV spot next to us. This was true. Once, some of our family was at our RV site and had set their chairs over the line onto the vacant site next to us. We did see an RV go by and we said they may be wanting to pull in this site but nothing was said. They went around the park back to the office where they complained that someone was in the spot and wanted to be given a different site. The lady from the office came to our site and in a very rude and confrontational manner told us this. We tried to apologize to her and said we would immediately move but she wasn’t wanting to hear it. She was obviously angry. We moved off the site and I went to the person that was going to pull in that site and apologized. He said “no worries this is a better site anyway we can watch our daughter at the playground better” But the office never heard that. The only other incident that happened and I don’t know if it’s in the notes or not they didn’t mention it. but when we started a fire in their fire pit it was full of wet garbage from someone else so it started to smoke too much and a camper from across the park complained to us about that but we got that taken care of right away, he thanked us. We didn’t want the smoke either. We talked to all our neighbors that week and there were no problems. One trailer was there for a week or so and was fishing every day and they partied some and some of their party pulled into the vacant space behind them every afternoon to process fish. Another couple behind us that were full time RV’ers complained about the park to us and said they were not coming back. They thought the sites were too small and they didn’t like all the rules or the staff. So nothing was ever said to us nor were we ever given a chance to discuss anything with them. We were taken back after the call this year to make reservations. I have been going to Westport a couple times a year my whole life. None of my family has ever been told we were not welcome in a park before. There are several other campgrounds to stay at there. This was the first time at this park. Looks like they don’t get their facts straight. This is long but I wanted to add as much detail as possible so others can make a decision to go there or not. I know of four families who are not going back which is too bad we thought it would be a nice park. Kids loved the playground. Maybe they got us confused with...

I can't count the amount of wonderful memories that my wife and I had at this park. We spent our 1st Christmas here, after moving from Utah, trying to start a new away from where Utah was quite literally drying up and the fish seemed to be less than few and the few left were not good for eating. The park manager invited us to Christmas that they themselves took care of so many things and people, we were caught off guard by how kind and welcoming they were! They said if I wanted I could work here right before summer and I took to that real fast. This place was a change of the pace with a spark of authentic life that I had been reunited with, other than it was new and in a different place this time! It was new, it was beautiful, it was humble. I didn't even look for any sort of problem. Unfortunately, that all changed one day when I caught word that at that Christmas party I felt so thankful for, was the day I would grow to despise as I learned more and more about how little these people who run the park care, about your personal information and just HOW much they are willing to lie to your face about what they absolutely do share. At least in my case anyway. Which doesn't clearly concern anyone there the second they had the time to own it they all seemed to deny anything when it was embarrassing enough to confront them and they admit to shady things behind closed doors but not when their shady actions cause non shady people to stand their ground. I watched them fire people for no reason and run them out of this park just because the "one who feeds the deer" can't stand to be around hardly anyone who isn't under her thumb. I take pride with my work and however the community assembles, in healthy practices. Meeting others where they are at mentally, especially when they play a roll in management/any position they see as authority. I felt much safer and am much safer now that I have nothing to do with this RV park. I mind my own and enjoy getting to know others who offer mutual respect. We moved here from Utah thinking this park was amazing until we had no privacy whatsoever, were extorted, harassed and stalked. Too much small town jealousy that they take to extremes. I was so disappointed. I could have gone without this experience but they didn't ruin Washington for me, thankfully. I just want to throw out caution to anyone part of the LGBTQ community that even the owner of this park is a sad representative of any sort of leader and a sad example of what a leader should never be. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about being around such whatever "woke" people they claim to be. I know how to look out for folks like them now. If you stay here, word to the wise,...

This place is so beautiful, very clean and the positive energy of the employees is amazing. We feel welcome no to a place, to a family.

“Snow White”, like I called the manager, take her job very seriously. She make a “home” for everyone.

At first, she said very serious “How I can help you”, but when I started talking, she give me a great smile. Like Darla, her assistant, who have spoiled my dog, and Chuck and Stephanie that keep all very beautiful and clean. All of them have a great smile always no matter the weather or how them feel.

Bathroom and showers clean. Laundry room clean. I tell to my daughter today my surprise that they no have many place designated for trash, you need walk to the place they have the trash can, but at the same time, i notice that help to keep the place clean. You can find bag for dog 💩 at the office/store in a basket 🧺 at the entrance.

And of course with all are happening with Latin today, for me was a relief.

I’m not have racist problem, because i didn’t take personal and I know who have the problem with their own heart it’s the racist person, and either immigration problems, I am American because I born in PR and we are USA territory. But many people still ignorant of that and it’s hard and sad. However, I feel welcome and in peace here.

And the best moment here is at the afternoon when the deers 🦌 wait for “Snow white” for feed them. Is the most beautiful and exciting moment ever. Look at them walk around her place, wait for her take the food and follow her to the forest.

We are walk distance to the sunrise and the sunset because we are between the sun and the moon, between the river and the sea. Walk distance to the port and the sea lions🦭. I hear them from my bed.

Walk distance to a great pizza place. Grocery and restaurants.

For me, because I am autistic with OCD, it’s hard find a place I feel confident enough to enjoy. And because sometimes I wake up with panic attacks and need walk outside, one of the most important things is the cleaning and the security.

For that I can resume this, I feel comfortable walking around in any time, and safe, inclusive in the middle of the night when I am the only person outside. Mary have good eyes and sense for get the energy of the people. She knows her business.

I trained manager for more than 30 years and the service clients was a nightmare. But here have a great staff, with great facilities and great atmosphere.

I feel in my hometown in many ways, close to the beach, smiley faces, friendly and the best “good morning” “have a good day”. No matter what happen, I am fine and resilient. People here too.

I want my kids come here with my grandkids because is a great place for...
