North Whidbey RV Park — Attraction in Whidbey Island

Probably the best thing about this park is the location. Very close to the Deception Pass state park which is great. Clean facilities as well. But what turned me off from this park and why I won’t be returning is the Rules. I understand that for the comfort for all guests basic rules will need to be instated. But if you stay here, expect the rule book to be constantly thrown into your face (well email box), even when the violations are not your own! I had received a call from the park manager regarding a carpet I put down by the front door of my RV. I was told that putting carpets on the grass, even though the grass was dead, is a direct violation of the rules that I signed when I checked in. Okay, we rolled up the carpet. The rest of the stay my email box was bombarded with 2+ emails a day from management pointing out small violations people are committing and how it’s a direct violation of the rules that we all signed when we checked in. These emails even continued after we checked out for a few days.

I’m a huge believer of Letter of the Law vs Spirit of the Law. Yes all these emails did correlate with actual rules that where broken, and we did sign those rules at check in as continually pointed out. But Id like a little bit of latitude on putting my carpet on the dead grass to make the outside of the RV more comfortable to utilize.

Every time we got an email it’s that feeling of “oh god what do we have to go back and fix” until we read through it and find it’s probably referencing someone else in the park. Really adds unneeded...

We have stayed at this campground before, but never again. Extremely narrow sites, where your slides infringe on your neighbors space. The pictures on the website show well maintained green lawn, absolutely false, there is nothing but weeds, and make sure you dont drive on those weeds, they will fine you. You are required to sign a list of rules, which we did, sadly. We were getting ready to leave for the day and moved the car in the space next to us so our 80 yr old handicap mother could park in front of us. Less than 3 minutes, they came trotting up with their dogs and said that will cost us $50 and to further add insult they charged us tax on our fine. We have been traveling for over 2 months and the only bad experience we have had. We should have known when they had numerous spaces available that something was wrong and they are removing all negative from reviews. Only campground within 100 miles that has vacancies, that says it all. Also need to mention the late arrival at midnight, who had no clue how to back up and I have no doubt everyone was awake when he was done. Also twice we went to the office and it was locked, but they claim it is manned from 11-6. I guess the multiple cameras all over the park is how they play their game. Be prepared to move a picnic table when you arrive, they block the sites with the picnic table and you are on your own to move it. Not...

I would never stay here again. My friends and i decided on a last minute camping trip close to home. We called the week before we wanted to stay and reserved 2 spots right next to each other and gave our card number for the deposit. We show up the day of our reservation for them to tell us that they forgot to run our card so our reservation was canceled. they no longer had two spots next to each other. So we settled for a little bit bigger of a lot. But then they charged us 89.00 for the campsite for 2 nights. when the reservation for 2 spots was only going to be 115.00. And the woman we spoke to had no answer as to the price difference. And to top it off they charged us for EVERYTHING! examples: we were told that we could have 3 free parking passes, when we went to get them we were told that it was filling up so they had to charge us $2.00 a peice for them. And then they charged extra per person over the limit when we had originally tried to get 2 spots. and they charged us for the children who were 2 years old and not even a year old. even disneyland doesn't charge for children under 3! I wont be going back because to add a cherry to all of this the management was VERY rude and disrespectful. They never even apologized for not running our card and holding our reservation, which was THEIR fault. I DO NOT...
