Date of Stay: May 21 through 25, 2009
Weather During Stay: High’s in the upper 70’s or 80, lows in the 40’s. Sunny and clear.
Site Description: Our site, number 22, is a long, level, narrow terrace, at the top of a fairly steep hill. The small (50 site) campground is all downhill from here. We have plenty of length for our 40’ motorhome and our Jeep, either front or rear. The terrace is narrow, but we have sufficient space for our chairs, a small picnic table, and our grill on the side of the motorhome.
Rate: $31.85 plus a 1% “travel tax”. 10% discount for AAA or Good Sam. We used the AAA discount, so paid $28.95 per night.
Phone/radio/TV: Verizon cells phones and the aircard work well here. No local TV stations on the antenna, but there are no obstacles for satellite TV and cable TV is provided. Local NPR is available on 89.5. WiFi is available in all sites for $2.25/night, $12.50/week, or $15.75/month.
Elevation/Landscape/Terrain: This small park, about 1000’ feet elevation, is built on terraces carved from a rather steep hillside.
Lighting/Noise: Night lighting is unobtrusive. The big problem with this park is it’s proximity to I-5 and the heavy traffic noise. This bothers Odel far less than it does me, and probably wouldn’t bother the hard of hearing at all! I would be somewhat reticent to return for that reason.
Favorite Sites: Site 22 is very nice, one of the larger sites, situated at the top of the hill. Backins in the 4-10 range look special, too - but most of the sites here seem very acceptable.
Comments: If this park was ½ a mile from the interstate, it would get an unqualified Rave rating. The first night, I slept with earplugs and closed windows - but found I adjusted as the days went by. If we stay in Grants Pass again, I would be likely explore other, quieter, options - but Odel is quite happy here.
