Armitage Park Campground

I almost didn’t want to write this review so I could increase my chances of getting space to come back here.

This place has it all for me. I had good enough AT&T signal here to work (video calls) during the week. Not great signal but it was enough. WiFi is available but it didn’t cut it for my video calls. Paved sites surrounded by lush forest. Full connections including 50A electric which I needed this week because of how hot it was (mid 90’s most of the week).

It was quiet and the grounds are well kept. Very slight down tick and on my rating because of the freeway noise which was pretty easy to tune out and definitely got quieter at night. Didn’t hear it inside the coach but tent camping may have made it worse.

I’m self contained so I had no reason to use the bathrooms or showers so I can’t rate them.

This is a large beautiful county park close to Eugene and I-5. Large tree shaded sites with full hookups and asphalt driveways. Some are are pull though, some back in. We have a 35’ motor home towing a Jeep and fit easily in our site. When I made the reservation they didn’t even ask what kind of space I needed because they all seem to be large. I called in the afternoon to make reservation for that night. They charge a $10 reservation fee in addition to $35 per night for the site.
Friendly people, lots of big trees and grassy areas and birds singing. There is a huge fenced dog park and many walking paths, including some that run along the McKenzie river. The only downside is noise from the freeway but it’s not horrible.

Oregon has some great state and city parks. This is certainly one of them! It is well managed and very well maintained. The loop through the park is in perfect condition. Our site was under large deciduous trees, with plenty of room for a 45 ft coach and toad. The sites are available for up to 14 days in any 60 day period.

The park is wonderful and the dogs loved being able to walk around (on leash). Right next to where we were parked there is a large open field alongside a road down to the McKenzie River, which is about 40-50 feet wide and fast flowing. If you have an Oregon fishing license you can fish for trout, salmon, etc., either with lures or fly fishing. Drift boats are a popular way of fishing and there is a boat launch. There are paths along the river in the park.

The park has WiFi which is kind of ok for web browsing. The cell signal was variable depending upon how busy the freeway was as the Verizon tower was a bit overloaded at times, sometimes it was a bit borderline for a video call, but I'd still class it as workable for us working nomads.

On the rainy days', site 30 and those around it were under the trees which made it quite dark, but on the sunny days, it was appreciated! Eugene as a city has everything and the core shops are all less than 10 minutes away (Costco, Home Depot, supermarket). The nearby road isn't too busy, but there is background noise from I-5, I didn't notice it much unless down by the river or in the background when filming around the area.

Overall this was a beautiful park, that is a joy to stay in. I must make sure I have time to fish next time.

We love this campground and will definitely return! The campground filled up every night of our stay, but the campground was still very quiet. The hosts and staff are very friendly and helpful, but they had a sign saying no early check-ins and there is no RV parking allowed in the Day Use area, so plan your arrival around that.

There are tons of amenities, so the nightly price is a great value. There is an off-leash dog park by the entrance to the campground. The sites are spacious and private, with paved and level sites. The back-in sites are angled so that they are easy to maneuver into, but there are some pull-thru sites as well. Utilities are placed within easy reach to the RV and the utility podiums at each site are lit at night (but are not too bright for sleeping).

We were here for an event in Eugene and found the campground to be the perfect spot with easy access to everywhere we needed to go. Costco (with fuel), Trader Joes, Walmart, PetSmart are all within about 1.5 miles.

The WiFi is free, but pretty slow and it can be really difficult to get onto in the evenings. The campground has CableTV access, but we don't have a TV in our rig, so I can't speak to how it works. Overall, we really enjoyed this campground and our stay here.

Arrived after office had closed, around 7pm. Very nice and helpful park host was outside walking his cat on a leash when we pulled up. He greeted us warmly and made sure we understood how the dry erase board showing availability worked - including to make sure we came back to the board to wipe off the # of our site after we claimed it. We stayed on a Monday night and there were just 2 sites available. After dinner, I walked by the same dry erase board and saw a hanging sign indicating “campground full”.

Some reviewers talk about hearing Interstate noise which is barely audible when you’re walking around camp. Highway noise was completely inaudible once we were inside our camper - and we are not hard of hearing. Park was very clean and peaceful. Not a ton of privacy between sites but we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other either. We travel in a B-van so we opted to use the showers. There’s an access code to the bathrooms which were basic cinder block construction w/ a concrete floor. Think “private prison shower” and you’ll be fine. This is a county campground, not an “RV resort”. We found the timed shower (9 min.) to be plenty adequate with very warm (hot!) water. Although the stream reminded me of a garden hose and not so much that of a residential shower spray head.
Overall a very pleasant camp spot and one we hope to come back to the next time our travels bring us through Coburg, OR.
