We stayed here for 3 weeks to explore the Seattle area. We had high hopes entering this park as it was new, the sites were huge, and we had a great view of the mountains. There was also an excellent construction rate on the table.
It's a lovely park -- yes, still under construction, but that's fine due to the rate.
The issues came with the worst neighbor we've had in our many months on the road. They chained their poor little dog outside all day, where it yapped. And not only that but they let their multiple small children (the youngest was a toddler) run free without supervision. The kids stood in the roads blocking them and seemed to delight in that, screamed outside after quiet hours, etc.
I happened to chat with a staff member later on, who knew the situations I was talking about. Apparently multiple other guests complained (and the children had been known to mess with the staff as well) -- but they had been giving this family many chances and warnings, and according to this staffer they were "on their last strike."
This seems far too lenient considering the many violations of park policy. It unfortunately did have an impact on our stay. We made the most of it, but it was very disappointing.
There was also another small snag, one I wouldn't have even noticed had this situation not happened with the neighbors and lack of rule enforcement. When we were coming into the park, we weren't sure whether or not our arrival would be late or not, so we followed the late check-in procedures on the website, which instructed us to call and speak with someone before an appointed time.
I did that at the proper time. No one answered the phone, so I left a voicemail. After receiving no call back after an hour, I called again and left a second voicemail. Per the instructions on their website, I needed to speak someone, so I promptly emailed them as well just to make sure they knew the situation. No response.
Thankfully, once we arrived, someone arrived to the office within 5 minutes or so. (Another guest was in the lobby waiting as well who had been there a bit; she was there to complain about the wi-fi going down.)
The woman who checked me in was lovely. I told her about the issues I'd had trying to call or email in - and she told me that their tech systems were all screwed up. That the voicemail and email weren't working.
I was grateful then that we hadn't been as late as I'd feared we'd be.
Again, a very small thing at the moment, but when combined with the issue with the family, it does give me pause.
Great location, great price, nice big open spaces, love the mountains, full hookups worked great. The staff all seemed rather kind. My neighbors other than this one family were all great.
But even given all that, I don't know if I'd stay at this park again. I am honestly worried about how the campground would handle an actual crisis, between their lenience to rule breakers and the difficulty I had in reaching them promptly.
Which is a pity. Upon entering the park, I thought I might have found a...
