The Point RV Park

We stayed here with our 41' Solitude and didn't have a problem, but that would be about the longest I'd bring here. Besides the space length, the road in crosses the spillway and we scraped the rear bumper on the way our because it dips so much. Unfortunately there was a fire 20 miles north of us so there was smoke most of the time. The biggest problem was the water level. A local said it was at 10% capacity and while their was still enough for swimming and kayaking and fishing, getting close enough was the issue. The level was dropping 3' day so the shore was so muddy (and at places steep), you could not launch. The boat ramp was 1/4 mile long, but ended way short of the water. All that said, we'd stay here again, but in the springtime when the hills would be green and the water level higher. They have full hookups, some shade trees, great views and you are very close to Ashland and all it offers.

We ended up here last minute and loved it. The camp host very really kind and helpful, the sites are a great size, and the views are beautiful. It's really convenient to the 5 as well. The sites next to the lake have a fairly steep hill down to the water so I wouldn't recommend those if you're camping with little kids. There was an odd noise the first night that we think may have been some sort of pump for the lake but it was not loud enough to bother us. We will definitely be back.

One of those campgrounds that isn’t the most memorable but really checks all the boxes. Such a comfortable place to stay! “Lake” was extremely low while we were there but still pretty mountain views & gorgeous foliage in October.

Pros:

• incredible value, especially for full hookups
• clean sites, decently spaced, not much between sites but they’re nicely staggered for privacy
• really great Verizon signal, 40 down/26 up
• 15 minutes to downtown Ashland
• attentive camp hosts
• quiet and pretty

Cons:
Honestly, none. Again, not a super memorable campground but checks all the boxes.

I think this campground is RVs/trailers only and tent camping is in a separate section of the park (was closed for winter). Obviously the best sites will be waterfront, but if you can’t snag those get one on the top tier in the back, that will have a better view than the middle row sites. We were in 2 which was maybe the worst site in the campground but we were still happy.

Amazing views, easy access off the I-5, cheap full hookups, and close to town for groceries/gas. The lake was super low when we were there.

One downside is that there surprisingly isn't a lot of hiking trails in this area, which is a bit of a let-down for such an amazing location. The nearest (nice) hiking trail is an hour drive away.

Insanely fast Verizon speeds - 55/26Mbps!

This has to be the nicest county park I have ever stayed at. All the roads and sites are paved and there is plenty of room even for larger rigs. The view is incredible! The lake and mountains around are just breathtaking.

Our site 4/5 stars:
The only reason I haven't given the site 5 stars is because of all the sticker burrs/thorny ground cover that is everywhere in the park. Otherwise, the site is great. Well kept pavement that was level, a very nice picnic table, and well kept hookups. The site was angled so it was very easy to back in. The view was just awesome. We were there in fall and got to catch the last of the changing leaves.

Dog friendliness 3/5 stars:
No fenced dog area (not a surprise at a county park) but the worst was the massive amounts of sticker burrs/thorns everywhere. There was very little grass or even dirt area that did not have these thorns. Thankfully there's a nice trail that starts in the RV park that was less thorny. Also, you can walk down the main road to the lower park/play areas and some of those had nice grass.

Bathhouse and showers 5/5 stars:
Very clean and well kept! There are three shower rooms that are nice and private. Showers were hot with good pressure. I used them daily. The main restroom was very clean.

Overall campground 4/5 stars:
This place was awesome! It's on the pricey side for a county park, but it's obvious why. With the exception of the thorns it's nearly perfect. There are two camp hosts - one on each end of the park. I saw them often riding around on their golf cart checking on everything. Great experience and we'll definitely go back if we're in Ashland again.
