When we arrived on the 5th we went straight to the beach because the ranger check in wasn't open, later my husband ran into a ranger and let her know we had arrived. I paid with my credit card over the phone for the 2 days ($40.00). I called the phone number on Springy Point's website to make the reservation, I told the representative our plan to use the camping spot for day use and she told me that would be fine and a great idea. We thought that reserving a camping spot would provide us a place of shade if it got too hot and we wanted to get the kids out of the sun for awhile, a place to cook on our propane grill and play yard games as a family without taking over the whole public beach area. My husband and I thought it would be a good idea to reserve a camp spot for (2) days so we would have access to it the whole day on the 5th of July since check out is 3PM and we would want to use it for dinnertime. I had family in town for the 4th of July and we decided to spend the whole day at Springy Point using the public beach and boat launch. I grew up going to Springy Point's public beach and using the boat launch since I was a little girl and never had a bad experience until now. Verizon was weak, Google Fi was a single bar of TMobile, but the AT&T Mobley once again carried the day. There is a dump station at the campground exit but it's sloped away to the right so we'll end up using lego blocks to get a good drain. Sites are priced at $20 with a %50 discount for anyone with the Senior pass. If you don't have reservations, find a spot that has open dates and come back at 6 to 9 pm to settle up and finish the paperwork.
Most of the sites are best suited to mid-sized and smaller rigs. We selected site #1 which gave us a nearly flat section for the trailer, although a long wheelbase motorhome would have found it way too sloped. Once again, I'm loving our little Scamp!Ĭampsite vary greatly in size, slope, and privacy. The right side loop road entrance is immediately after the office and has a fairly tight and narrow turn. It's a classic northwest campground, heavily treed (no solar potential - anywhere) with lots for second and third growth fir and cedar. Unlike the other COE parks we've enjoyed, this one has no services to the sites. This one just goes to show how different people prefer different experiences. We were going to pick a provincial park north of the border, but with a COE campground and a 5 start rating, we decided to stretch our day and spend two days here.
