What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews paint a mixed picture of a campground, with one review clearly for a different location. For the main campground (implied to be Pioneer Family Campground), experiences vary dramatically: **Positive Experiences (primarily from seasonal campers/families):** * Highly praised by seasonal campers as a "home away from home" with a friendly, family-like community among owners and other campers. * Features a well-stocked general store with good food (wings specifically recommended). * Offers activities and live music/DJs. * Golf carts are welcomed. * Some small cabins are noted as great, with comfortable beds, provided heaters, and friendly staff. * Level sites are available. **Negative Experiences (primarily from transient/overnight campers and cabin renters):** * **For Transient/Overnight Campers:** The campground does not cater to them, with issues like no printed maps, being called "transients," lack of WiFi password, spotty cell coverage, and a blocked dump station. * **For Cabin Renters:** Severe dissatisfaction reported due to cleanliness issues (dirt, mulch, stained quilts, dead bugs), an unhelpful and snippy staff, confusion over reservations, and a high price ($200/night) for poor quality. * Cabins were described as having poorly equipped kitchens (missing basic appliances like an oven) and a filthy grill. * The "handicapped accessible" cabin was deemed genuinely inaccessible for those with mobility issues due to a high toilet and bed. * Other issues include far and overflowing dumpsters, a strong chlorine smell in the water, and a confusing pet policy (allowed for campers but not cabins). * General rudeness from other campers was also mentioned. **Review for Kenanna in Grayland, Washington (a different campground):** * Described as clean, well-maintained, and the nicest RV camping in the area with full hook-ups. * Good for razor clamming and offers easy, though somewhat distant, beach access. * The only potential drawback noted was a possibility of sogginess during rain due to the groundwater table.

This is a campground for seasonal campers. They do not cater to overnight stops. They were surprised when we requested a campground map. They had none printed to hand out, and we were called transients when we checked in. They had wifi throughout the campground, for which they did not give us a password. It's probably noted on the unprinted campground map. Cell coverage is spotty. Finally, they had 2 trucks parked next to their dump station, which made it impossible for us to dump before we left. Just thoughtless behavior. This is not a resort as the name implies. The one positive is that we had a level site. We suggest you avoid this campground if you're passing through.

The little cabins are great. More comfortable bed than expected. A heater was provided which was a great bonus. The staff are really friendly. It was the perfect way to join my parents while they were on a trailer trip.

Can I rate in the negatives. We went here for a family vacation for 4 days, never again very disappointed. When my parents first arrived we went in to tell them that we were here for our cabin that was reserved and they're just looked at us like there was nothing reserved for that day, the worker was very very snippy to us. When we got to the handicapped accessible cabin as soon as we got in the doorway there was an envelope on the table that says it was carefully cleaned and tips are welcome, how can I be careful when you turn around and there's dirt on the floor all around the cabin and you go in the bathroom and there's mulch on the tile when you make your bed there is a stained quilt on top of mulch in the bed, a dead cockroach on the floor along with other bugs on the dust on the window sill. So you spend $200 a night plus you want to tip yeah okay, it is cheaper to stay at a nice hotel and you get more accommodations then it is to stay here it was $200 a night when it was all done. On the website it says there is a fully loaded kitchen which usually includes a oven, something to boil water in, big spoons, Etc..., the first night we were there we took frozen pizza with us because we figured we could heat it up in the oven because of the description on the website think again, if not an oven we thought we could heat the pizza up on the grill with some foil after taking a look at that filthy disgusting Grill we thought again, my parents had to run down for a $14 plain cheese pizza at their high-priced store $14 for cheese yep okay. After supper we went to set out on porch I'm used waving to people where I grow up not up here everyone is mainly rude it could have to be with the high prices I don't know. After we sat out on porch it was around 8 so we got ready for bed, FYI if you're a male in a wheelchair that has a difficult time transferring, like me, be prepared for an uncomfortable night because of the "handicapped" bathroom which has a higher than average toilet making it difficult, when your wheelchair is a little higher than standard height. When it was time for bed it was very difficult also because the beds higher than my legs at 5 feet 4 with the problems in my legs, where I have to slide down a little just to have my tip toes touch the floor when I'm getting in and out, without someone there I would have fallen on my face a couple times. FYI if you are going to take your trash out before you leave or every couple days depends where you are you will walk half a mile to the dumpsters that are so full that they don't close. Also if you want your pet to stay with you you're allowed to if you rent a property for a camper but not if you rent a cabin figure that one out I can't. Because if it's "carefully" cleaned to their standards then they will miss the pet hair anyway. In ending the decision that I come to in my head is stay at a nearby Hotel it's cheaper and you get more plus a free breakfast usually then it is to stay here and pay $200 and get less with a smaller room plus the water at a hotel isn't filled with chlorine that smells really strong and Bubbles Thank you for reading my review which I took the time to tell the truth and didn't make anything up I don't sugarcoat like others must with this review

We LOVE this place!! It’s our home away from home and only 5 mins from the lake. This is our second season at Pioneer and we couldn’t be happier! The owners and other campers are like family and everyone is so friendly. We love that golf carts are welcomed here. The general store has everything you could want and the food is awesome. We highly recommend the wings. There are lots of activities always going on and live music/DJ’s most Saturday’s. We have 4 small kids and they love it so much that they asked to move here full-time. Thank you Pioneer Family Campground for giving our family this amazing experience...we appreciate everything you all do! The Adams Family

We stayed at the Kenanna in Grayland campground in Washington. It was clean and well taken care of. We were on a find a spot where we could camp and razor clam with easy access to the beach even though the access road is a couple of miles north. It was the nicest RV camping in the area that we found with full hook-ups. Only thing is because of ground water table, I think it could get a little soggy during rain.
