Longview North / Mount St Helens KOA

Description

Welcome to the Mt. St. Helen's KOA! Revel in dramatic Pacific Northwest scenery from this KOA, terraced into a hill-side with inspiring views of a Douglas fir forest and beautiful sunsets. You'll enjoy the campground's peaceful country setting and convenient location. Situated about an hour from Portland, Oregon, and Olympia, Washington, it's an easy 2-mile drive from I-5, yet far enough off the highway to offer a quiet respite. One of the nation's most dramatic natural events occurred close by in 1980, when Mount St. Helens erupted. At the campground, you're just a few miles from the Mount St. Helens Visitor Center at Silver Lake, where you can learn about the eruption and visit scenic viewpoints and trails in and around the blast zone. This KOA is an ideal base for exploring the area or a convenient overnight stop in your RV. Your hosts: Brian, Ingrid, Adam and Hunter Orndoff.And for all you fishermen or ladies, we have some of the best fishing sites all around us and just minutes away. There are so many things to do, such as go to the ocean or find a festival - there always seems to be something going on! So, set up your camp, then come to the office where we can help you find the adventure you desire. Come back in the evening and relax, planning for your next day of fun. North, south, east, or west, there are always things to do and see - some just down the road and some just an hour away. Nature is all around and it's calling you!

Will be back !!! What a REALLY great location. Large deluxe tent sites .. Close to showers and bathrooms... Bathroom & showers were cleaned and maintained daily. Staff is very friendly . Sunday morning coffee & donuts fresh. Activities for kids ... Luandry room ... Small store ... Highly recommend & can't wait to go again
Wow lots of bad reviews, but we thought the place was nice. True no shade trees & some spots were very tight but other things made it a good stay. I will post enough pictures so you can be the judge. Terraced rows of sites puts you not Looking into others RVs. Very clean & maintained park. Full timers are on the very top tier, giving them move room & privacy. Staff was very nice, the young man Adam even gave me tips on good hiking near by. There is a large fenced in dog park with large field beside it. Dog park is a little walk away & lights didn't work, but it was nice enough. Showers & bathrooms were clean, water was very hot/plenty of it. Great water pressure, outstanding. There is a hidden moss covered trail off the dog park area that we enjoyed stretching our legs after our drive in. Mt Saint Helens is very close as is the local town of Castle Rock. Very quite park & got a good nights sleep. Kids play area was great see pic. Cheapest gas locally was near park at turn off, you don't need to go into town. Call them and ask if you can get site C-2 or C-3. They also have a couple pull throughs. We only stayed couple nights, because we were just passing through. Got a full day hiking in on Blast Zone Trail, near Mt Saint Helens. **DON'T EAT AT Chinese restaurant in town worst food ever**
We stayed a couple days before the 4th ,no complaints ,we use our own shower and bathroom in our trailer so I couldn't tell u what bathrooms were like, great location to Mt St Helens only about 45 min from top which is beautiful on clear day .Manager was very nice to me ,and had a dog park with obstacles set up which my pomchi liked .view at night is very pretty of mountains. The game room for kids is nice too ,small but for a few nights great place to stop .
Everything worked well. Bathrooms and showers were clean. The playground was fun for the kids. The service was friendly. It's not a place I would call nice overall. Functional.
This was an overnight stop for us on the way to Oregon. The entire campground was tidy and in good condition. This KOA is not extravagant; I believe it is listed as a Journey campground, which is in the lowest tier in the KOA franchise system. Access roads are paved, but all campsites are packed gravel. The locations is up a fairly steep hill and is terraced. There are 4 rows of camp sites, with some additional sites on the far north side of the park. A lane, and maybe a good portion of B appear to be long term tenants. C and D lanes appear to be for short term stays. There is a mix of full hookup, partial hookup and tent sites at this location. All of the campsites are very narrow, with a bit more space and landscaping up in the A and B rows. We were located in the D row with full hookups. We noticed a number of after hours arrivals, one of them arrived and parked to our left. They were gone the next day before we even got up! Be warned, there is little vegetation or trees to shade you during the day. Many campsites are bordered by the tall stumps of cut down trees, so at some point in the past they used to have more vegetation than they do now. The laundry room is clean and tidy. Wash prices seemed reasonable. They have a bill changer for quarters, but it only accepts ones. Two washers of four were out of order when we were there. All four dryers were functional. Dry time is 45 minutes, but you’ll need twice that to actually dry your clothes. Camp store and check-in area are one in the same. Store has some supplies, but appears exceptionally limited and very expensive. Aside from having hookups, laundry, and clean restrooms and showers, there are few other amenities. A small playground with equipment you’d buy at Wal-Mart or Costco kept the younger kids entertained. Most of the play equipment was in safe condition, other pieces looked very worn, but not unsafe. If you wanted a wood fire you could borrow a fire pit from management. No doubt they also sold wood. Our stay was too short to spend the energy on this, plus there may have been a burn ban in place. We didn’t see anyone with wood fires during our stay. While our stay was fine, the park wasn’t a destination in itself and the lack of space in our site was disappointing. The park would be more attractive if it had more trees and vegetation, especially around camp sites. This is a fine pass through location; A good jumping off point to visit the sites of Mt. Saint Hellens, but with other state and county parks in the area, look at all of your options and your camping needs to make the best choice. The view down the property into the valley where I-5 and Castle Rock are located is quite spectacular.
Owner was very very rude. She cursed At me and my wife multiple times about speeding. Honestly never one thought I was speeding at all. She then kicked us out on are last night stay of the week. Seemed as all workers and family members were upset with the way she behaves about slight speeders per say. The speed limit is 5 miles per hour in the whole park and you better not do any faster. The camp Sites for campers were also on top of hill and you better know how to secure you camper from rolling. I would move to any other camp ground in the area. There all over the place. The manager nailed the coffin for me. Poor shame too….
Everything is clean. The showers have hot water and the laundry room is efficient. Someone did a lot of work to decorate the lady's rooms. But the camp sites are way off level and there are no safety walls on the dropoffs which are at the back of most campsites.
Long time since i stayed at KOA i love this one the people here are supernice and the place is spotless. Clubhouse is cute everything is nice and clean. And staff is super helpful. If you have a bad experience here, it's your own fault. Will stay here again for sure. Every campsite has its own faucet and electrical outlet even for tent camping.
Nice campground. Bathrooms very clean. Close to Mt. St. Helens. Pretty sunset! Playground: Well maintained kids area. Restrooms: Clean and large.
We had a tent site and it was perfect! We only booked one night then added another night. We showed up late then explored around in the morning. They have a nice dog run area fenced in as well as a good area to run them without a fence. The site had elec and water hook spicket and was close to the bathrooms. They kept the bathrooms and showers super clean!
