Tent Camping, Ballard RV Park

Loved the tent setup, lighting, power outlets, chairs, clean floors, night stand. Cozy setup!

The tent itself was nice and clean, and the property generally seemed nicely maintained. Unfortunately a ferocious howling wind blew up unexpectedly, which ripped open the tent's door flap (which we'd had cinched down tightly) and throttled the roof canvas; the cold of that wind blew through the additional door curtain and every space that wasn't solidly closed. We also had the vague expectation we could find something to eat that wasn't gas station food or a way to cook something--Ballard's office building has no options for folks to heat up food either--so that was also unpleasant.

I never heard from the host about how to check in so I didn’t even stay there. I didn’t get a refund or anything. This was a terrible experience.

Excellent stay.

What a great value! It’s a tent so don’t expect more than what is detailed in the listing. The campground is excellent with fantastic amenities and friendly staff.

Ill be honest and say i did not actually stay. I arrived mid afternoon it was 100f outside and felt even hotter in the tent when i stuck my head in there it was hot dark and felt like an oven plus as a solo female it actually didnt feel safe stuck out in the middle of a parking lot.

Excellent facility and wonderful staff. Highly recommend

Excellent 3-night stay. Everything was as described. Perfect location, very clean property, and relaxing environment. Will definitely stay again.

Even though I had a blanket, it was already too cold by September. The sound of trains passing by late at night was about a hundred times louder than I imagined. We couldn’t sleep well. Common space was so clean and cold.

I would never stay here again. The bunk beds are so narrow you can barely lie on them. It was so cold because the entire tent wasn't closed properly, and there was a draft everywhere. And the whole night was so loud that you couldn't sleep because the canvas kept slapping against the tent. It sounded like plastic being smashed together. I've rarely spent such a terrible night.

We stayed in the tent for a few nights. It was nice for the convenience factor; we did not have to set up a tent. The tent itself was spacious and the cots were comfortable, but the top of the tent was not pinned down to the framing well so it would flap very loudly in the wind at night. Also a train went by every night at 12 and 3 am, so we didn’t get much sleep for those 2 factors. The tent is right next to another tent so we could hear our neighbors snoring all night. I will say the private bathrooms in the main trailer building were a nice plus! There is laundry on site, but no atm. We had asked the property management if we could wash our clothes and then go get the money and hand it to them because we had no clean clothes. Unfortunately they said no which was rude. Would not stay here again solely for the lack of sleep and respect.

My friend and I had a lovely stay! The tent was clean and as expected. My only complaint is how close it is to the railroad tracks. I was woken up in the middle of the night to a train horn that sounded like it was about to blaze through the tent. Although, my friend wasn’t woken up because he is a heavy sleeper. If you’re staying in the colder months, I recommend a space heater. Also, if you’ve never slept on a cot before, definitely bring something for cushioning.

I was just crashing overnight on the way to my next park. Easy and convenient and clean!

My stay was in a canvas tent. It provided all I needed to support my visit to the nearby parks - a shelter with electricity, a chair, a cot and a lantern. The restrooms are private and clean.

Great staff, nice showers, has what it says, but it is so hot and dry in that area you feel like you are eating dirt and it’s tough to sleep.

The park was quiet and clean. It was nice to have a cot, a light, a fan, and an extension cord for electrical access.

Nice property. I like that the bathroom house actually has several full private bathrooms. It was very quiet and everything was clean.
