Hood Park

The campground is great, beautiful trees, clean washrooms, grass all over. Lady in office (Kathy) was extremely helpful with our reservation. There is Firehouse Subs across the highway, that has great sandwiches and salads. Unfortunately, a park staff man, must have noticed our out of state plates and came out to our vehicle to denigrate our home state where he said he used to live. Very underwhelming welcome to the park.

This facility has only one shortcoming and that is a lack of connectivity to cell coverage and the accompanying internet. Everything and everyone, on the staff are amazing!!

The park is nice enough and our site was big enough for our 40' 5th wheel. However, most of the sites, especially those for tents are very sloped. Saw many tents way down the slope or sitting right on the edge of the slope. As many reviews had indicated, there were many, many spiders - and cobwebs everywhere! The beach was not really all that inviting looking. There is a lot of weeds/mildew gunk all thru that area. We did kayak out of the launching area - which you have to go out of the park and turn right to get to it. Really wasn't all that enamored with the area.

The amount spiders was insane! No thank you! They fell from the trees, covered anything left out over night, and were everywhere. I’m not talking about a few spiders, I’m talking thousands of huge spiders.

I don’t like the fact that they lock the gate at night (10p-6a) and no way out. What if an emergency happened and you needed to get out??

This was our 5th time at Hood Park and as usual, our trip was great. The park is clean, shady and peaceful. We loved swimming and floating in the river and watching the barges go by at night! Can’t wait to return!

Would have been an excellent stay, but the spiders. An unrealistic amount of spiders. Webs everywhere, spiders everywhere. Like, literally spiders…. On everything.

The spider infestation is OUT OF CONTROL. Plus the circuit in the loop kept tripping and we were asked to turn off our A/C. If I didn’t want A/C I wouldn’t pay for a campsite. Camp hosts were grumpy and just not a great experience.

Nice clean park, easy parking. This area is somewhat industrial - factories across the river, but it was a good place to stop over.

Park is kept clean and the camp hosts are friendly. When potential problems are reported to hosts, they pass the info to the people that get the situation taken care of. Camp hosts also take frequent drives around the park to stay abreast of potential problems.

The spiders and spider webs were horrible. Other than that, we had a good time. Randy, one of our hosts was very polite and friendly. I enjoyed talking with him.
