July 8, 2025MauisbestHomey charm and shady spots
In all of our RV years, we have never stayed at a KOA. This one seemed nice on the Web so we gave it a try. We arrived and we're met at the desk by a very cheerful young lady who excels at customer service. Check in was quick and a nice young fella was dispatched to show us to the assigned spot. The campground is fully treed and has abundant shade which was very nice considering the temperature outside. The spots were obviously designed many years ago as they are smaller and narrow, but not unmanageable. The camp has a quiet buzz about it with playing kids and older folks walking dogs. I later went to the nicely stocked store/office to grab some goodies and although he was busy one of the employees went out of his way to hold the door for me. I love this change of pace from the usual sometimes stuffy RV resorts we usually frequent.

Great Visit!!
Just returned today from a 4 night stay with my 6 yr old grand daughter. We were booked for 2 nights but extended our stay because we were having such a great time!. All of the staff were fabulous and very attentive. The ladies working the check-in and store were very friendly and helpful and patient with my grand daughter who was constantly in there buying things. The staff was constantly cleaning the grounds, shower rooms, and pool area. We enjoyed the pool very much as well as the fun bikes to rent, scavenger hunt, and nice play ground. As far as the train noise goes……, It didn’t bother us at all! My Grand daughter thought the trains were cool! And loved seeing them go by! It’s a small town, and usually in small towns there are trains!! Better than hearing police sirens and such. I felt very Safe at this KOA camping with my grandchild. Very nice gift shop and many food items, beverages and camping needs in the store, and without the prices being jacked up!! We will Definitely return next summer for a couple of outings! Thank You Cascade Locks KOA 🥰

A good one night stay for travelling. Nothing special but it definitely worked for us. Might be a good point to explore the Columbia River area. The train does come by so be prepared but they are pretty open about that so there were no surprises.

We stayed 3 days at this KOA. It has its pluses and minuses. Pluses are full hook up and we had a paved site. Distance from our neighbor wasn’t too bad. Lots of trees for shade, but also makes it dark inside your RV. Minuses were the noise. Highway 84 with trucks, a construction site across the street digging with large equipment, and the trains. They are right on the back border of the campground. They have to blow there horns when near the campground. Was woke up 4 times in the night from them with ear plugs in. If this doesn’t bother you this is the place for you.

Great Place!
Such a wonderful, fun place! The kids had so much fun swimming, riding bikes and playing around. Staff was all super friendly and we enjoyed talking with them all. The sites, bathrooms, showers and pool were all clean! We were camped along the main road in front of the park. We at first thought that to be worrisome, but the speed limit is low enough, that you don’t really hear much traffic. The train does run right on the other side of the park, you hear it yes, but it’s not a deal breaker. The cleanliness and other amenities of the campground are worth it!
