A well-kept park

I like that this park offers some privacy. The sites are large and roomy, and there are tall bushes in between sites. The grounds are well-kept and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. It's quiet enough except for the occasional train noise. The staff are friendly.

Good location. Nice, quiet, and safe place to stay

The place primarily has long term residents with sites for short term stays. The sites are wide and fairly-level. They are dirt with concrete pads. The park offers a small pool, laundry and bathrooms. The park is located in the middle of the town so you can easily go to other places for entertainment. Staff are friendly and with good mix of personalities. Unfortunately, no WiFi but good cell phone coverage.

No time to be bored

Among the many positives this RV resort has is you simply won't have any opportunity to be bored here. There's so much to enjoy at this place. You can relax at the pool or hot tub. You can read at the library. There's a nightly movie screening and other social activities. They've got an excellent selection of cable TV channels. Wi-Fi reception is very good as well. And the resort is just a short drive away from downtown Salem, where you can go shopping and dining and sightseeing all you want. As for the resort's features, they're all stellar. The grounds and facilities are clean and spotless. The sites are big and had full hookups working as they should. The staff are very friendly and really do their best to make you feel at home. A truly beautiful place. We'd love to visit here again.

A great-looking park with nice views of the harbor

We only stayed overnight at this RV park, so we were not able to check out all the facilities. Having said that, we had no complaints about our stay here. We got a full hookup site and all the utilities worked fine. The site is large enough and spaced comfortably away from the neighbors. The restrooms were clean and well-maintained. They've got cable TV but no wi-fi. The people we met, staff and neighbors alike, were all friendly. Also, even though we didn't get a waterfront site, we still enjoyed a nice view of the harbor. All in all, we're very satisfied with our short stay here.

Most accessible campground in Joshua Tree NP

What we like most about the Black Rock campground is it's the most accessible in Joshua Tree NP. It's only 6mi away from the west entrance and is close to the trailheads of the best hiking trails in the park. The campground itself is clean and has modern restrooms but no showers or hookups. However, it does have a dump station and a fresh water source. Our stay at this campground was pleasant and fun, except for a couple of irritants: the sites are not level and are too close together, and the roads are bumpy and in bad condition. Otherwise, it's a great campground.

Okay for an Overnight

Stopped here to spend the night. Pretty okay. Their facilities are adequate but could have been better. Lots of permanent residents so it can get noisy here. Private security seen patrolling each night.

A barebones campground

We only stayed here overnight in October, and overnight stays are what the park is good for, in our opinion. They don't have a lot of amenities and the facilities are less than stellar. Only electric and water hookups, though they do have a dump station and clean bathrooms. Nothing else. The staff are friendly but are far too easy going. Security is a bit lax in that anyone can come and go as they please. We visited in the off season and we figured out since the sites are so close together that it would be crowded and claustrophobic here in the summer. Well, we won't come back to find out in any case. If ever we return here, it will be in the off-season.

Beautiful views of the bay

We enjoyed our stay at Doran Park mainly because its views of the bay are magnificent. It doesn't have much by way of amenities, though. No hookups whatsoever, just water spigots, restrooms, and a dump station. You'll have to rough it out when you go camping here, but it's worth it. Also, don't forget to bring earplugs. The fog horns can be annoying if you're sensitive to noise at night.

A great place to get away

If you come here early and get the right spot, you'd be treated to some of the most beautiful views this side of California. Otherwise, your view would be blocked by trees. Nonetheless, this state park is undoubtedly beautiful. It's aging a bit, but it's kept clean and orderly. No amenities whatsoever, so be prepared to dry camp. It's very quiet, but you can hear the sea lions barking. Very peaceful, very serene, a great place to get away.

Just a so-so park

We didn't feel quite at home here. The staff were friendly and polite enough, though, and the park itself was comfortable. The sites were concrete, large and long enough, but definitely not level. Had full hookup sites with cable TV, but didn't bother with the wi-fi because it's not reliable, limited to only one device and usage is severely restricted. We didn't bother using the park's showers either because they're located at the office and they're only open during office hours. Other facilities are only so-so. Maybe we'll stay here again, but only if there aren't any other parks available.
