Roamer Sites — Hotel in Sandy

We recently stayed at this camp and want to share an honest, balanced review. The camp is well thought out and visually beautiful, nestled in a forest next to a really impressive action sports school for kids. Having access to the school’s amenities like the skatepark, gym, and bike trails when not in use was a unique and fun bonus. Jim, the host, was friendly, helpful, and clearly cares about the space.

The canvas tents are set up in a large communal circle. While the tents themselves felt private, you are very close to your neighbors, and it’s a full communal experience. We appreciated the heaters and heated mattress pads, which made the cold nights more comfortable.

However, a few things didn’t meet our expectations. The tents, while clean inside, had visible mold/mildew on the canvas walls—understandable in a damp forest for $55/night, but still off-putting. The beds were also quite hard. Quiet hours start at 10PM, but noise carried easily and other guests stayed up talking around the fire until 2AM, which made sleeping difficult. Highway noise was also present.

The biggest challenge for us was dog management. We chose this place because of the leash rules, as our senior dog needs space. Unfortunately, several dogs were off-leash or poorly managed, including one from a neighboring tent whose long tie-out let them reach our tent, and other dogs completely off leash and uncontrolled by owners who approached our leashed dog. This made our stay more stressful than we hoped.

There are only two single-use bathrooms for the whole camp. They weren’t as clean as we would’ve liked, and one was out of paper towels for a full day, with others’ personal items left behind in both.

Overall, it met our basic needs. The gated access made us feel comfortable leaving bikes unattended, and the proximity to the Sandy Ridge trail system was a plus. But the close communal setup and lack of rule enforcement made it clear this style of camping isn’t the...

Amazing campground, amazing host! You can either stay in the van / RV section or there are super cute tents with beds with a community fire and cute twinkle lights.

Bathrooms are really clean (free showers) and heated, and only a short walk away from the sites. Wish I took advantage of the other amenities like fitness center (open certain times). You can walk to a nice hike that goes for miles.

Had great cell service and the site had Wifi too.

Very dog friendly. Maple made some friends and had a little field to fetch in.

Did I mention amazing host? Jim was the perfect combo of professional and friendly. Rad dude and really easy to get ahold of. As a millennial I liked the texting option lol

All in all a great value, great time. Will...

Absolutely the best weekend getaway I’ve ever had was here. My partner and I skate, so we decided to rent a tent for two days in the roamer sites and skate the B.O. B. The rates are BEYOND reasonable, it’s winter but the tent stayed warm, dry and cozy even when it was below freezing outside at night, and the heated bathroom/showering rooms were PERFECT. It was too wet to skate the concrete jungle, so you better believe we will be coming back on a dry weekend because it looks incredible. The B. O. B. was an absolute gem, hands down the best indoor skatepark anywhere in the NW, to have it to ourselves was unbelievable. I am so stoked to have found this place, thank you Jim for a magical...
