Old Mill RV Park & Event Center

We hit the Old Mill as lucky invitees to a large family reunion. The full hookup site we’d reserved was very nice. Not state park quality we’ve experienced at nearby Nehalem Bay State Park, but really very nice. The trailer spots were a bit tighter, and not the typical trees for privacy. But the view really made up for it. Contrary to the previous review, things are not completely out of control. Drunk drivers in the loops? Hardly. Didn’t happen. Beer pong till 3am? Yep. That happened. Our sight was 4 spots from the «crime scene». It was so loud that we put the baby down after her bottle with no fuss at 11:00pm. It was very nice weather, and we enjoyed the fresh evening sea breeze through all of our open trailer windows. Again. 4 spots from ground zero. We heard a couple of hoots. A couple hollers. I want to add that did not participate in beer pong. Telephone around the campfire. Guilty. Smores? Lots were made. Pajama bowling? I saw it with my own eyes. Bathrooms. Not sure. We’re self contained. Pot holes? Huge. Thank goodness I pull my trailer with a pickup truck. Bottom line for me? Nice place. Going back again soon. Trains. Cheese. Crabs. Fish. Garibaldi fresh seafood. Fishermen’s Korner. One last note. Not ONE mosquito or fly! Probably just lucky. Or maybe they were just off bothering some other camper. They can sense these things.

I want to like this place. The view of the bay is lovely and it’s convenient. However. The bathrooms need a serious overhaul (paint?) and the roads are full of large potholes. Also, there is zero control/​monitoring of campers. Their rules state that quiet hours are 10 – 8. Beer pong and screaming drunk people until 3 am? Sure, that’s completely respectful of the rules. After talking to others today it seems like if you weren’t at the party, you were pissed and up all night listening to the commotion. There’s no one to regulate and control campers. They jump in their pickups drunk to drive the loops which is scary alone. I called the main number last night asking it to be addressed after my own attempts at 1 am to ask them to keep it down went unacknowledged. Not even a follow up call the today and now this group is at it again tonight. Now, I enjoy a party and getting rowdy but there’s a limit and a level of respect that isn’t happening and it should be resolved by the management here. Not fellow campers who have valuable property sitting here. This would never happen at any other camp/​park. This place truly has potential. It’s a shame they aren’t taking the steps to have that happen.

We stopped in while taking a drive down the coast. They were having an RV show with lots of choices. Everything from a small van to a big bus.
The 30 footers were nice and fit in most any RV park. Larger RV’s are somewhat limited in where you can park. A lot of them are equipped with all the comforts of home including a bathroom, shower, frig, color TV, and AC. Quite the experience to walk through them and dream.
The sales person said they will probably have an RV show here every year. I’m interested!
