Edit: I just read other reviews- Happy to know I am not crazy- Hopefully the owner/operators take a good look in the mirror. The poor reviews are really accurate.
Ended up paying one nights stay so we could use the showers-
We were passing through in a motorhome and really needed showers. I politely asked if they minded if we used them, since they were pay-per-use showers. They would not allow. Older blonde woman at desk was very unfriendly- Younger girl ended up helping me and she was just great.
I left and returned 5 mins later----
We needed showers so I ended telling them I would just pay for a spot for one night. Since I could tell thats what it would take. So much for the RV community looking out for each other.
Just under $50 to be allowed to spend $20 on a family of four to shower.
I was first to shower. Really dirty and gross/basic- NO HOT WATER unless it dribbled out for 10 seconds scalding hot then returned to glacier cold.
I gave up and ended up plugging our motorhome up to the services on our now-paid-for site to finish the shower.
My wife toughed it out and said it was worst of her life.
We ended up showering the kids in the motorhome. All in was on site for an hour.
We were a couple weeks on the road and showered in some pretty funny places- Truck stops were surprisingly amazing-clean, modern and cheap- This was by far the worst, unexpectedly.
Grounds seem like a nice place- other than the semi-permanent, hillbilly/pedo looking shacks at the one end of the grounds-
Few quick bucks for the nice blonde lady at the expense of losing some long term business and recommendations. Will never stay here and will not recommend just based on this. You got my $50+ dollars but that'll all it will ever be.
Good sites, but not the best for camping as the sites are very close together. There is little privacy and doesn't feel like you are in nature. There is a pool, hot tub, private lake, playground, arcade
Great place for family fun. They have so many things to keep every member of the family busy. Don't forget to bring carrots to feed all the bunnys!
Awful place to stay we stayed for 5 days and i ended up sick For the last 3 days from your pool and so did others around the camp ground coughing and sneezing poor kids I'm an adult and able to handle it but listening to the little kids around the site broke my heart! Plus when we had visitors they didnt have a specific place for visitors to park and so they parked in a site that was unoccupied and they came and extremely rudely told us to move the vehicle and that they know it was us because everyone told them it was us and that they took down the plate number! On the paper we got when we checked it it never said anything about parking or anything! The showers were dirty and cold the pool bathrooms were disgusting and the toilet in the main building was overflowing when i went to use them! Over all i would not recommend this place to anyone! Go to Englishman river falls or somewhere else i would not go back even as a last resort!
Previous management were far superior! Very expensive. 45 a night for full hookup + 3per kid per night +3 per night for the mutt. No more tv. Maintenance staff very unfriendly. Didn't see them all weekend then at 11.31 came and told me to leave as they had someone waiting for the sight. Took my sweet time cleaning up and surprise no one was waiting! I won't be returning anytime soon. There is better and these people need to realize that.
I have been going there 26 years. Off and on. Great place for kids. Except you have to pay for them. 3 bucks per kid per day. New owners took over and it's going down hill fast I think. Staff don't seem happy.
I paid for a shower that dribbled out of the tap. I had to collect it in my hands and splash it on.Ice cold water is free. No pressure in either bathroom for showers. Pool is always nice. The pond as well.
We and our kids loved to stay here. Kids were on the playground most of the time we were on the CG or just visited the bunnies.
Staff here were nice and friendly, washromms clean, service top. Nice playce to stay.
We stayed at this campsite in 2015 and have planned another for 2016. Love this place. Very quiet, we'll off the road. The lake is very refreshing, campground has all the amenities for our RV. Perfect for groups!
I've stayed at Coombs Country Campground twice now. The campsite overall is OK. The washing up facilities are barely adequate and borderline disgusting the bathroom facilities are OK they are pretty old but kept clean. On our last visit we had some VERY noisy neighbours that were noisy until 3am in the morning which put the downer on our stay. The campsite can be quite noisy thanks to the Alberni highway. My daughter did have a great time here though in the pool, play park etc and made lots of friends.
Great campground, especially for families. Fun Park for the kids as well as a swimming pool which is a hit. Adult time in the evening for the hot tub and pool too! However, the pay showers didn't have much pressure, and you pay for everything including the kids! Still a great experience, and the kids always ask to go back.
The Sept long weekend was our first time at the campground. What a hidden gem. Although the pool and hot tub were busy it was crystal clear however I am not surprised the manager told us they test it four times a day. We took our lunch down to the lake where the kids got to go for a dip before eating lunch. We have already made our reservations for next year.
