    As other stated the road noise is there but not overwhelming. The wind does blow up the river quite a bit. Also go visit the hot springs which is pretty close. http://www.chicohotsprings.com/

    We were there last summer at the end of July. It is a well maintained park and is nice and the shower and rec building was always spotless and the people that run it are very nice also. Like many RV parks the sites seemed a little small and kind of packed together and we are used to a little more space. There did seem to be a lot of traffic on the highway even well into the night. Since we live on a farm and the house is a quarter mile from a little used gravel road we aren't accustomed to hearing traffic so the noise did bother us some and there were a lot of Harleys running around then. We were in a site on the north end backed up to the river and our living room in the trailer is at the rear, unfortunately the cedar trees along the bank completely blocked any river view and the bank was very steep and made fishing access impossible from the camp site. There was a little better access on the other end of the camp ground or up where the dirt road goes along the river. I did find a couple of good places to fish on down the highway at the rest area. This campground was a lot better than some of the others that we drove through.

    Typically, from the middle to the end of July, there is some very good to excellent fishing all along the river upstream and down from your campsite. If it was too difficult for you to get down the bank right behind your RV stie, there is very easy access to the river just a few yards downriver, just beyond the last campsite at the north end.

    For a couple weeks when the run-off is receding and clearing, more often than not a person can catch a handfull of trout in the evening there in the last 30 minutes just before dark, fishing right from the bank, and not having to even get in the water. Some very nice trout stack up to feed there just off the willows, often just inches from shore.

    Also, 99% of the fishermen quit too early and miss the best fishing of the entire day.
