Family Camping on the Lazy River
Our recent camping trip to Lazy River Camping was an absolute delight, thanks in no small part to our exceptional host, Joe. With a group of 18 spread across three sites—Gypsy Soul and two beach sites—Joe’s hospitality truly stood out.
The proximity to the river was fantastic for quick, spontaneous dips. Joe went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, providing firewood, installing a new fire pit/grill on our site, and even offering to run errands. We were able to pick fresh blueberries and apples, and he generously let us use his tube floats for river fun. Joe's friendly conversations and warm hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable.
The convenience of nearby stores (Walmart and Safeway just 8 minutes away, Costco 16 minutes away) was a huge plus. While the campground lacks showers, the local gym and pool just 8 minutes away offered a great solution for a hot shower.
If your budget allows, I'd recommend booking 2 sites per family, one forest site and a beach site so you can have a day hang area vs. an evening area. I enjoyed the shade when it was hot and we spent days by the beach under our 13x13 canopy.
Overall, the experience was amazing, and we’re already planning to make this an annual trip. A huge thank you to Joe for making our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!
