Lousy reservation system. We had reserved a 50 amp full hookup waterfront site 90 days before our stay and put a deposit down. When we arrived, we were given a 30 amp site adjacent to the busy main road that barely fit our 40' motorhome. The staff said whoever took our reservation probably just wanted to give us a site, any site, and wasn't paying attention to our request. Yeah, right! Other nearby campgrounds were booked because of the golf tournament in Chambers Bay. Our site was overgrown with knee high weeds and dry grass. Previous campers had left trash (xmas lights, confetti, plastic cups and lids, dead flowers, kitty litter, dog poop, cigarette butts) all over the site. We had to rake. It was disgustingly dirty. We took pictures and reported it to the lodging office because we didn't want to be charged for leaving a dirty site like their rules stated. The staff member we reported it to behaved as if a dirty site was normal. The campground does not trim trees away from the roadway either so our motorhome could not avoid hitting 3 branches on the way in and out. They do not enforce their own rules and turn a blind eye to unleashed dogs, or people leaving their sites dirty or multiple vehicles in their sites. The site next to us had two trucks, a boat and a motorcycle parked along with their 5th wheel. There are signs everywhere to not park in the grass but where do you park all those multiple vehicles if not on the grass? It could be an awesome campground if they just took care of it and enforced their own rules. Lanes are paved and narrow, sites are paved requiring minimal leveling. Wi-Fi is only strong in or near the common rooms. Elsewhere it's nonexistent. No cable and with the trees, satellite reception isn't good. The only good things about this park were the price and proximity to Seattle and Tacoma. They take reservations but you can never be sure you'll end up getting what you actually reserved. I asked if they ever confirm reservations with an email the way other military famcamps do and the staff member just shrugged and said they aren't required to. They don't seem to care or like their jobs much. Won't return.
