Artic was a bare bones park with isolated wilderness as its comfort. Surrounded by large trees and ferns, there is great care taken to maintain the grounds. You're not on top of your neighbors (most of whom seem to be living there full time) and the road noise is minimal. There is a hiking trail that goes along a stream, and its very isolated and serene. The neighbors were quiet and we were undisturbed. The hosts who live on the property were friendly and you'd see people out and about walking their dogs. The bathrooms, while maintained and clean, are dated and I could easily see over the stalls at only 5'6". The water had a bad taste, even being filtered in two different spots in our RV. There is only one washer and dryer, but they are reasonably priced and I never had to wait to use them. Tmobile, Verizon and ATT were barely usable. USPS does not deliver packages and you have to go into town for anything larger than an envelope. There are some tight turns around the park and I wouldnt recommend super large rigs. It's a lovely area for a weekend getaway, or if you're fully sustainable in your rig without needing internet.

We spent a week here while traveling around the west coast. Upon arrival, we weren't sure where to check in. Turns out, the "office" is in the bar that is on site. Interesting but didn't bother me any. The bar stays busy but shuts down at a reasonable hour and they keep things nice and quiet. The food has great reviews but we didn't try it since kids weren't allowed inside. The campground was fairly well maintained with a mixture of hoookup types. We had a 30 amp, full hookup site. The entry is a bit snug but do-able. If you have a long rig, unhook your toad before pulling into a pull-through because they all are curved. There is no cable or wifi and no over the air channels. Cell service is decent with AT&T and T-Mobile is kind of weak. You're not far from some beaches so this is a good (and cheap) place to stay if you want to drive over and check some of them out.

If you are coming from Whidbey Island, heading for the Oregon Coast, the Artic RV Park is in the right location to split the trip into 2 days. We got lucky, they aren't really open in the winter, but I got Lisa on the phone and she willingly let me have a site for the night. Then when I was having trouble hooking up the power (my problem, not hers) she spent time out of her evening helping me try to solve it. Many thanks Lisa!! The park is right on 101, but other than the occasional motorcycle, it wasn't noisy. Being a raining Sunday night in January helped, I'm sure.

The Arctic RV Park (and pub!) is as cute and welcoming a place as you'll ever find. A small mom and pop outfit, just south of Cosmopolis on the 101. The sites are scattered about nicely, all backing into the micro-rain forest (with trails). Roy and Annie (the owners) are wonderful and helpful, and even invite their guests to help themselves to the stunning vegetable and fruit garden behind their house. A joy to walk through even if you're not looking to pick any berries, herbs, or vegetables. There's not too much to go visit in the neighborhood, and the road traffic can be kind of loud for a few sites, but other than that, this is a wonderful spot to stay a few days and relax. Highly recommend, and will certainly visit again when/if we're in the area.

I am going through my notes and writing some reviews from pervious stays (before we know that Campendium existed), but in 2015 we stayed here for 15 days and then a few weeks later for 4 days. We absolutely loved it here. The couple who owns the park (Ray and Anne) live on site and RV in the winter when they close the park, so they are definitely in tune with the RV life. They are fantastic and allow RVers to pick fresh vegetables from their massive garden. The park is right on the river and they have a few trails down to the river. There's also a tavern at the edge of the property, so you really don't have to leave to get something to eat or drink. There is some noise from 101 but not enough to bother us. It's a great place to relax. Most activities will require a bit of a drive, but it is one of my favorite places to buckle down and get some work done, or to just relax. I recorded as having 4 bars of cell there, but I didn't record whether that was AT&T or Verizon...sorry. [Actual stay was 5/21/15 and then again on 6/26/15]

I used to live in SW Washington and had driven by Artic many times thinking how nice, wooded, country setting. Finally had a chance to stay, it is lovely. Except It is right on 101, traffic noise is problematic but the location, setting and amenities out weighed the exception. They have trails thru the woods, along the rive, I picked tomatoes and cut flowers from their garden. The bathrooms were clean and fresh. One washer ($1.00) one dryer($1.50) which were way better than any laundrymat I'd been to recently. Annie and Ray (owners) are such a sweet couple, helpful and caring. They do close for the winter, Oct 1 I think. No over the air TV, trees for satellite might be a problem. no photos as what is shown is good.
