Circle Creek Rv Park & Campground

First time we stayed here. And it was just ok. At first I was going to leave a not so favorable review of this campground. But in defense of it, it was the middle of winter and it’s apparently their off season and they don’t do much business. There were 3 – 4 other RVs on site and it was quite gloomy and rainy. The store wasn’t stocked due to the off season. But in general the campground is nice and is convenient being between Seaside and Cannon Beach. Very quiet and relaxing being next to the river. We had Elk outside our trailer every morning. The rules of the campground are a little «tight» for our liking. Especially requiring that all campfires be out at Midnight. We were also charged for having 2 kids with us, we are used to being charged for the site and not the number of occupants. Staff was friendly in the little contact we had with them. It should be noted that the sites are paved with just enough pavement to fit an RV. The rest is grass and no outdoor carpets etc… Are allowed on the grass in front of your trailer. In the winter this makes for a muddy mess but it is what it is. Also the wifi was spotty at best. Would I use this campground again. Yes. It was convenient, clean, quiet, and relaxing!

Simply stated, the lady who seems to work the front desk most of the time is the absolute rudest service person our party has ever encountered at an RV Park! First of all, we mentioned that we’d gotten a new RV since we made our reservations. It was a few feet bigger than our last one. She exclaimed we could have called and told her this. She then put her hands on her head in the most flustered tone ever and said «I just want to run away!!» (The last RV was a travel trailer and this is a fifth wheel in which we backed the under the truck so it made absolutely no difference.) The other party with us asked how the satellite reception was in their spot and again, very rudely she responded she had no idea. Finally, when we gave her our Good Sam card different than the one she was used to, she was all up in arms about that. When we left the office, all four of us were in disbelief at the rudeness of this woman.
When we got to our spot, we couldn’t back all he way up like she has told us to due to tree branches dragging the roof. Our neighbor suggested we ask the office to have someone trim them. Reluctantly I went and asked and she was so rude and put out by the request. Someone with such a lack of patience and people skills really shouldn’t be working in customer service. According to many reviewers, she made their experience with this park terrible and she tries to cover up her rudeness and disdain with her snide laugh. Some other friends happened to stay there in the overflow/​dry camping. They asked the same lady if anyone cancelled with full hookups, if she could let them know. She rudely told them that never happens. Our stories are minor in comparison to some others. Additionally, the place was not very well maintained. Trees need trimming and grass mowed. If Good Sam monitors these reviews, they’re best off removing this Park or finding new management.

We stayed at this place as a last resort due to the surrounding parks having no vacancy and I’m sure glad we did. This place is in a perfect location in between cannon beach and seaside which was very accommodating to my family as we wanted to spend time on each beach.
The staff was very pleasant and welcoming upon our late arrival and accommodated our every request. In fact we enjoyed this park so much we ended up staying the remaining 3 days of our vacation there and remain d situated on a beautiful river just behind our camper. We enjoyed the morning sounds of geese flying over as well as the morning walk along the grassy field they have.
We will definitely be staying here again as a first resort and not last! See you soon!

This place does NOT even deserve a single star!!! I am not one to write negative reviews or say negative things but I am so DISGUSTED and in awe with this place because of the way we were treated. We pulled over for safety to this circle creek park when our SUV transmission went out; the customer service we received from this place was absolutely terrible!!! The elderly lady at the store right away with an attitude told us our car needed to be towed and was so RUDE!!! I tried explaining to her we pulled over for safety into the park because we have two children and didn’t want to be on the highway with them until the tow truck arrived and she just didn’t care and proceeded to say it needed to be towed immediately. We have an RV and were excited to see this place when we pulled in to spend a few days there but after this experience we will NEVER come here again! TERRIBLE customer service! mean and rude attitude as soon as we walked in. She must really hate her job to be so rude and not even consider our two children with our car just broken down and new in town just needing some advice. Thanks lady, You will never have our business.

How people in a «service» industry can treat their customers/​guests like our group was treated this weekend is unbelievable. The ladies running the office have got to be miserable to treat paying customers like trash. Their performance and attitude just cost them not only our repeat business (4 RV’s) but a bike club friend wanted to stay here but now will not. Will they care? Probably not. Seems they would rather not be bothered and cater to the clientele we observed 90% of the park to be full of — high end RV’s with old goats inside who never come out, never use the lame and tiny fire rings and certainly don’t truly camp.
Wi-​Fi did not work all weekend, cable tv is 8 stations with nothing even decent (how can you not have ESPN??), and our water pressure was shut off for 4 hours one night due to a break, which I understand. What I don’t understand is nary an apology for any of the above when brought up, nor an offer of a discount. $ 47 a night for this?
The park itself is nice, but as another poster said, don’t go near the grass with a vehicle — remember the old «get off my grass» comments? This place is the poster child for the surly, nasty «you owe us for allowing you the privilege of staying here» old school proprietor instead of thanking their customers for coming.
We won’t be back. Ever.

We came across this campground purely by accident. We pulled in and spoke to Sharon at the front desk. She was incredibly helpful and gave us lots of information about local sights and attractions as she checked us in. The next day we extended our stay for another night and Mike gave us a few more excellent tips on things to do and see.
Now for the campground review… we loved it. The sites aren’t too close together and it’s a very quiet campground. We had to stay in the dry camp area but with an RV, it’s no big deal (they don’t allow tents; however we saw someone get around this rule by placing their tent in the back of their truck! I wouldn’t rely on that tactic though) The reason that I didn’t give Circle Creek 5 stars is due to the restroom and shower facility; it’s clean and well kept, but it’s showing it’s age. Sharon said that they are renovating the restrooms and showers this winter though, so I look foreword to giving them a five star review on our next trip. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay near Seaside, this is a great option.

The camp grounds and facilities in general were very clean and comfortable. The person who checked us in was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the trash bins were all overflowing and there was a grounds keeper mowing and blowing with very loud equipment well past 7pm, making the atmosphere less than pleasant and certainly not conducive to conversation or enjoyment. We heard many complaints about the lack of preparedness for a busy weekend from other campers walking by… Also, they have a small fire-​pit made out of a tire rim, but no grill or any way to grill on the open flame. If you want to grill, bring your own.
Overall, our few days at this RV site was ok.

We’re are looking forward to our up coming stay memorial weekend. We have a reserved site on the river. The woman I spoke to on the phone was pleasant and very informative about prices and Good Sam membership prices. We appreciated the help purchasing a Good Sam membership… we’re fairly new to RV-​ing and it was nice to have a little guidance about the savings the membership offers.
When I read a «bad» review… I always look at the emotion behind what the person is saying, and base it against fact. Maybe it’s the person’s feelings rather than the actual failure of the business. Being able to hide behind your computer and write an unsavory review is really unfair considering it could be you and your emotions and feelings about what that business owes you! You should choose to not return to that business, not slaughter their business. I never take the time to write a poor review… it’s to much negative energy to throw out there.

I just hosted a gathering of 34 RV’s with a total of 74 campers. We gathered for 4 days last month at Circle Creek RV Park. Sharon and Mike went all out for us and made our roundup a terrific success. They went out of their way to accomodate all of us and we virtually sold out the campground and had additonal campers in the dry camping area. All of the comments from the other campers was extremely positive. This is our second year at the campground and we will be back. The location was great and all had a great time exploring the area and attractions. I can’t say enough good things about how we were taken care of.

I had no problem with the staff they were very friendly & accommodating, not at all what the other reviewer stated. The sites where very nice & clean, loved seeing the elk in the meadows in the early evening and the honkers flying over many times a day. Very close to Seaside and Cannon Beach, Price was reasonable.
Would love to come back!

The operators of this establishment do not deserve to receive a license from the city or state. The inhospitable attitude and outright discrimination practiced by these operators is sickening. Yes, an owner has the right to deny service to anyone, however there are more tactful ways of approaching the situation. Rude behavior at anytime is not acceptable. Stay away from this place, there are plenty of better and more hospitable RV parks as you drive north towards Seaside.

I couldn’t believe how rude the front desk woman was to my sister and I. Neither of us huave ever gone back to a place to approach someone and let them know how rude and out of line their customer service and behavior was. So unhelpful and condescending that we both almost were crying from shock. We are as nice as they come and even still we went back in and had words. When we nicely approached her, she stood up and walked away, slammed the door behind her, and her co-​worker stormed after us after we got in our car. I was kind scared of them both. (Negative stars): (I feel sad that people are so angry to live that way

We’ve been regulars every summer at Circle Creek since 2007: always secure; easy access to Cannon Beach, Gearhart, and, of course Seaside; and the facilities, as well as the full-​hook-​up RV sites, are always clean and well functioning.
Easy access with three or four pull-​through sites. We will return often!
