Here’s our review on Campground Reviews:

Not for the Arachnophobic

This is a beautiful park, right along the Columbia River. When we arrived, we particularly enjoyed the large shade trees and green space at each site. However, when we woke up the next day, it was as if we’d spent the night in Mirkwood. Spiders. Spiders everywhere. All over our motorhome and tow vehicle. Every nook and cranny had spider webs and a resident spider (orb weavers, so not harmful, but still). Looking up at the trees, it was obvious that there was a major infestation as there were spiders hanging between every branch. I am not arachnophobic, but it really made me not want to sit outside. It’s probably just the time of year, and it may not be such an issue any other month, but it was really, really bad at the end of August. I spoke to another camper who had been planning on staying a week but was going to leave the next day because they didn’t want to deal with the spiders. I kind of wish we’d left earlier than planned as well. We knocked down as many as we could see before we left, drove over 200 miles, and are still dealing with them a couple of days later.

It should also be noted that they were having some issues with the water system at the park and issued a boil notice, so you need to be prepared with your own water supply before coming. If they resolve the water issue and the spider issue, I’d be happy to stay here again because it really was lovely otherwise. We camped at Plymouth Park Campground in a Motorhome.
