Pekin Ferry RV Park & Campground — Reviews

We reserved two sites side by side but when you got there both spots were taken already by somebody who says that they were there for a long term end up sharing a site with the friends that went there to Camp with and end up having to pay double for the one site

No sewer ! This was not mentioned in ad for reservations. I talked to owner of park and only stayed one night. He said he would refund the balance back to my credit card. It has not been refunded yet. Please take care of this matter. Thank You. Alan Newell 928/916/7773 dnanewell@gmail.com

Staff is great and available, did not have any serious issues, but sincerely not worth the prices being charged per day. It's a grassy field with electric and water only, no restrooms or showers or dumping station. Port-a-potties and garbage cans needed emptying, and the walk to the river is through piles of wood and leftover fireworks. It's just not worth $40/day, but I will give them credit for giving me a place to stay when nothing else was available.

The other people here are very friendly. The hosts are very communicative and it is low key. Felt very safe. Lots of mosquitoes. It wasn’t too busy. Clean, well kept. One thing I didn’t realize it is down a super steep hill and it’s not like other Rv parks where you can go walk around and stuff. Everything else is private property so I would have felt like Iwas intruding if I walked my dog on the road that comes in. it is on the water and pretty but it’s a small amount of river frontage. So it’s more for like a safe quiet peaceful place to sleep but it’s not really a hang out spot if you know what I mean especially if you want to just walk your dog. Small spots but this place is still a gem. Well kept for sure. There are also portapotties so if your Rv is full there is still a restroom. Clean well landscaped. All of the other guests we met were lovely people. No homeless camps nearby which is a huge plus and wonderful change of pace if you’re visiting from pdx. Quiet in the middle of idealyic beautiful countryside. Great if you want to hang out in downtown ridge field or if you want to use this as a base before going hiking up by mt St. Helens or hang out in woodland. It’s approximately 1 he 15 minutes from mt St. Helens which is really nice.

Thought the sites were too close together. Lots of mosquitos, which were obviously out of your control. The fireworks were amazing on July 4th, however on July 2nd, seemed to go too long into the night and early morning. Met some very nice people, including the owners.

A lot of dump debris and equipment on the site, and numerous honey pots dot the campground. River wasn’t accessible for play, the boat ramp said no trespass. Loads of mosquitoes and just generally a strange place. But, yes, the staff was very nice.

The camp ground was well kept and the staff was very good. The address should be moved from the North camp to the South camp.

Beautiful area, loved the view on the water

This place has a lot of potential. It is right on the Lewis River and has a great dock & ramp access. Location is everything for this place and it's within 3 miles of the Ilani Casino. However, there are some things this place needs... A camp host on ground is needed, and quiet hours need to be posted. There was a loud party that carried on past 3:30 in the morning. Our family, and another were staying at the camp, and playing in the 12U USA State Softball Tournament so having campers partying until dawn is not ideal for any campground. Lastly, camp spots need to better defined and clearly marked for the pull-thru spots. Barring these inconveniences, I am eager to see how the park develops because it is likely to become a camp favorite, especially so close to the casino. A definite plus is having two, free dump stations relatively close. I will be watching this place.

I would not suggest camping here if you want private camping with nature. The “camping” was just a big field next to a dirty pond that was filled with mosquitoes. The mosquitoes made it miserable. The place could use lots of signs because everyone who showed up for camping was very confused on where to even go. There are only ports pottys for restrooms but they keep them pretty clean at least! A man owns the property and they had a HUGE bonfire with a ton of drunk people and were doing extremely loud fireworks till midnight (on July 2nd) when people in tent were trying to sleep 200 ft from them…. We ended up packing up and leaving because we were so frustrated with the noise. Definitely don’t recommend this place!

Camp owners were wonderful. Loved the use of kayaks from the owners. Camp area for tents was not what I expected. Would have like my own space and fire pit. Did not like people parking in front of my tent and people that literally put their tent 2 feet from mine.

Great park!!! Total hidden gem of a place! We will be back for sure!

A nice place to stay. We could see the river from our spot. Camp host was helpful and friendly.

It's a very simple campground. The people were friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Friendly host and peaceful environment.

Beautiful campground on a river surrounded by trees. Very quiet area which was nice. The camp host was super helpful and kind. We will be returning!

Hidden gem! We will be back for sure!

The host Ray really made the park. Super friendly, always cracking funny jokes, walking around checking on people outside, and answered any texts extremely fast. Wouldn't have been the same experience without him. River with fishing access was great as well.
