We usually love this RV Resort and have stayed here many times. We have a 43 ft diesel pusher and most of their sites are easy in and out. However, we stayed there on the way to Eugene 11/22/23 and were given site 76. I did let them know when we checked in that we had a 43 ft motorhome and were towing a Bronco. The park was less than half full. The curtesy driver took us to the site, drove through and left before we had even started to pull into it. The site we were given was right after the refuge area and that blocked us from turning wider to go in so we were over the grass area in order to get into the site. It was dark and the next thing we knew, we heard a crunch and out motorhome was hooked on the pole marking the site. This pole is black when viewing through the mirrors and did some damage. When the curtesy driver came back after I had walked to the office, he told us that he would have had them switch sites if he had known before they issued a number since this site was such a tight fit. We were not allowed to move until security came out and all they did was give us some cards for tow trucks and mobile rv repair places. When we talked to the loss manager, we were told that they take no responsibility and that the curtesy driver stated that he had never told us that.
The RV park price keeps climbing, but there are are dry camping options for overnight stops. As previously shown, there is the lot next to the casino. But, the tribe has installed a rest area just outside the RV park that also can be used for an overnight stay. Truckers and RV travelers use it. We stayed overnight on both the way south and coming back north in June. The parking lanes are long, and wide enough to allow slides to be extended. The added benefit are restrooms at the stop. For smaller camper vans, the auto section is also a good option.
It got a 5-star because it's free. The RV parking above the fuel area is fee based. The free dry camp is beside the Burger King. Lots of large spaces. It's about 500ft to the casino from the far end of the dry RV parking. Another poster said if you got a Players Card it came with a discount for fuel. Fuel is already generally cheaper than off the interstate,

I've been thru twice in the last 6 weeks and the dry camping was wide open, It's a great first day's run from Seattle.
The food is good but not outstanding,
There is even a free waste dump at the south end of town, just over the bridge.
Stayed 12-17-18 on way to CA. Last year it seems we paid $45 less Good Sam, but this time $65 less the discount. Not very full, so maybe they needed the $$. But, it is an excellent park with nice clean restrooms with showers. Buffet is good and reasonably priced. Next time we may try the truck spaces, as another reviewer did. An overnight stay doesn't need a full service slot in an RV park, when an electric hookup is available for heat, etc.
RV park is great, but free parking still available

We've stayed twice before at the RV park, but this time they didn't have room for us because all the larger spaces were taken (we're too big, 68' total fifth wheel and HDT). We didn't realize that everyone else would be heading south at the same time! So we parked in the upper truck parking lot where there was plenty of room and it's free for dry-camping. Joy of joys (in December when it was pretty frigid) we discovered that many of the spaces had ShorePower. For $1 per hour plus $1 for the hookup we were able to have electricity overnight and run the heaters instead of using up our propane. AND we were able to make coffee in the morning. The lined sites were large enough that we felt ok putting out the living slide before going over for dinner, and the bedroom slide after dinner when there was no one in the space next to us (all while staying within our lines). Lot is marked as a NO-generator zone where the ShorePower is, but the truckers kind of ignore that. It was ok, we'll still stay here again. The buffet is good, and the slots weren't so tight that it wasn't fun for some cheap entertainment. It is the perfect distance when traveling I-5 between WA and CA. We stayed here 12/28/18 for one night.
