Ashland's Creekside Campground and RV Park — Hotel in Ashland

I would like to give this campground five stars but I can't, so it gets three stars.

Early May I made arrangements to camp here. I called a couple days ahead of time and asked for a specific campsite. The person on the other end of the phone was polite and said it was available, and reserved the site for the time I asked, I paid with my credit card and was given a discount.

The day I arrived I pulled up to the campsite and it was occupied. The campground manager came and spoke with me. I informed the person in the campsite I reserved and paid for the site and was permitted to park there. The manager apologized and I was offered any open available site in the campground.

I felt a paying customer (me) who reserved and paid ahead of time for the campsite should have been allowed to park there instead of someone who did not reserve the site. Being that I was tired from the long drive and needed to settle in, I chose another site. However, I think the management should have asked the person on the site I reserved to move.

Later in May, I returned to this campground without making reservations. I felt making reservations is not effective and paying ahead of time is a waste of time due to the last matter. So I arrived and the park host was out front and spoke with me. I was asked what site I had reserved? I told her I didn't and explained the previous matter, she was surprised and said, "what???"

After a short debate over the fact I didn't feel comfortable reserving online or over the phone, I was allowed to look for a site. Before I drove away to look for the site I mentioned I have solar and don't need to hook up so I can use a tent site, the host said in a sarcastic tone, "well good for you!" I drove down the tent sites and found one I thought suited me then went to the front to pay at their pay station.

I was greeted by the manager. She was friendly and invited me into the office to reserve a site, I went into the office and reserved site #2.

Saturday, I was sitting in my RV writing and smelled cigarette smoke. I looked over and saw a lady smoking near my campsite out front of campsite #1. I got out and mentioned I smelled cigarette smoke, the camp host said sorry, I walked back to my RV and resumed my activities.

Today, I was writing and heard dogs barking from the RV repeatedly from space #1, they barked at everything passing by, I had a hard time concentrating. Eventually, I decided to speak to the camp host. The camp host had just returned in her car, there was a young man who was at the entry of the RV, I said hello and mentioned the dogs had been barking off and on constantly and sometimes they cried as if something was wrong. He said, "that's what dogs do," in a very sarcastic and dismissive tone of voice. I did not speak to him hateful nor in a confrontational manner beforehand.

The camp host got out of her car and said she can't take the dogs with her because of the heat in the car and next time she will close the windows in the RV and turn on the AC. She apologized and I went back to my activities in my RV.

I don't want to speak negatively about this campground but the sarcastic tone of voice when I first arrived by the camp host and then the young man who was in her company was uncalled for! I am a paying customer, I also think the site I reserved and paid for I should have been allowed to have camped in instead of it being given to someone who did not reserve the site at all.

Now that I write this review I have to wonder how I will be treated in the future if I come back here? I have no ill will towards them I just think I deserve to be treated in a respectful manner that doesn't involve sarcasm.

I think the camp manager has a positive disarming approach and has spoken well towards me. The camp host I do not feel is disarming or approachable, including the young man who was sarcastic and...

Recently we made a stop at the Ashland Creek campground and arrived at dark and left fairly early the next day. Bathrooms were okay but needed to be cleaned. Our spot was fine but we did have to unhook our truck from our trailer as it wouldn’t fit in the spot. For overnight that was kind of a pain but doable. After our week long trip in Oregon we again booked a stay at Ashland creek. This time we had to unhook again as the sites aren’t large enough to keep your truck connected and the bathrooms were filthy. The women’s room faucets and plumbing were leaking on the floor and a door handle that was attached the week before was now gone. Again, for overnight wasn’t a crisis as we could use our trailer restroom. Our reason for staying the second time was to swim in the pool as I have a medical condition that requires me to. We had hoped I could swim before crossing large passes the next day, which would assist me with my pain and swelling. We even stopped our drive early so we could stay overnight at this park as knew it was close to the main freeway and easy to maneuver our truck and trailer. The disappointment I had when we entered the pool was unbelievable. You cannot see the bottom, even on the stairs! The chemicals are very off, and potentially can cause illness or ear infections at the very least. When I asked when it had been tested recently I was told that morning. Well yes it may have been tested but it wasn’t treated properly at all. I was also told the reason the pool looked the way it did was because it was “old.” All in all what I see is a small Rv park that has potential to be a nice park if it were maintained! Even the outdoor pool shower didn’t work. Weeds and stickers were overflowing the playground and the entire resort looked like it could use some serious maintenance. Also, if your pool flood lights weren’t on 24/7 you might have enough money to pay for the chemicals for the pool. On the plus side, there were cans for recycle. PS if you moved your exit sign or made a large entrance sign it would avoid confusion for entering your park. Both times we experienced issues with leaving and drivers wanting to enter the exit. It causes a dangerous situation...
