Park Review – Hoquiam River RV Park

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Location: Hoquiam, WA
Type: Commercial Park
Check-in/Check-out times: 12:00/12:00
Site Quality / Amenities: The roads and pads are asphalt. Each site has a picnic table.
Access: Just off US-101 on Queen Rd. in Hoquiam.
Staff: The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Cellular/WiFi: Verizon was marginal as roaming service in 4G. The park has WiFi but we didn’t use it . Starlink was mostly unobstructed except for trees on the west side of our site.In this area, Starlink aligns itself west.
Restaurants: Al’s Hum-Dinger – An old style drive in type restaurant with burgers and some fried seafood items. The food was OK but not great. On the plus side, it was inexpensive.
Nearby parks: We didn’t look at any other parks nearby.
What we liked: We were in the best site in the park, site 39. We were right next to the Hoquiam river without anyone next to us on our door side. There was a great walking trail following the river down to an old mill site and a very cool “rough” trail through what they called their mini-rain forest.
What we didn’t like: There was some road noise from logging trucks on nearby US-101.
Verdict: We would probably stay here again if in the area. That said, there are plans underway to build a levee along the river to prevent flooding. This levee will pass through the site we were in and could dramatically alter access to the river, the walking trail and views of the water.
