I have to give a huge shoutout to Pleasant River Campground!

Last night we arrived in Bethel with a reservation at another campground, but their latest check-in time was 8:00 PM. We realized we’d be about 10 minutes late, and they told us very clearly that they wouldn’t let us in — no flexibility whatsoever.

We had to find a new place fast, and that’s when I found Pleasant River Campground.
I spoke to Jenny, who was just the kindest, most understanding person ever! She immediately understood the situation and found us a solution - she let us choose between a few available RV spots and was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Honestly, I don’t remember the last time I got such warm, caring service.

The campground itself is beautiful - quiet, secluded, peaceful… and dog-friendly! 🐶
This morning, Jenny even came by to check that we were all settled in and everything was okay.

Jenny - thank you again for saving us from sleeping on the side of the road 😄
Highly, highly, highly recommend this place!!!

Nice clean showers with hot water. Pull through sites are just a gravel parking lot with no grass or trees. Here is the issue I had. Arrived just before 7 pm office hours. No one in office. When I tried to hook up water it leaked horribly. Called to see if it could be looked at quickly. Was told it must be my connector. Same one I've been using the whole trip. I changed out using a brand new connection. No dice. Owner/attendant said he would check it the next morning. Never came by and never saw the office open. So I have no water to my rig for my stay. Normally a campground attendant will check on the people staying there as a courtesy in the beginning. Won't stay here again. Impersonal treatment. Score was actually 3.5 stars. Followup: The response from the owner to my review was a complete falsification of what occurred as far as what he did . I never saw or spoke to him face ro face in the 2 days we were there.

Our large group had an amazing time at the resort. Such clean areas all over the entire resort. The place was friendly and well kept. Amy time we had needs they were met and really we didn’t have lots of needs bc everything was on order. Thank you for a beautiful place to stay and fun time.

I loved this cozy ski cabin so much! the bed was so comfy, the location was convenient (I went skiing at Sunday river), and the host was so accommodating when we had to reschedule our vacation because of a blizzard!
