Details
We stayed for twenty four-nights at the Coquille River RV Park in mid July to early August, 2019. Our original booking was for a shorter time, but we extended our stay due to delays in scheduling of upcoming RV repairs. Camp hosts were friendly and very accommodating when we needed to extend our stay. The park continues to renovate and is in the process of adding more amenities.
The park is popular with fishermen in-season and has plenty of extra room for boat trailers and extra vehicles on the sites. The campground can fill up during peak fishing season, so early reservations are recommended.
Cost
For twenty four-nights at a 30 amp partial hookup water/electric back-in site, we paid about $29 per night.
