Premier RV Resorts - Salem, OR

Some of our weekend escapes just do not allow us to travel very far from home.  Even just an hour away from home can provide a nice escape on a short weekend trip.  This last weekend our escape was Premier RV Resort in Salem, Oregon.  Located on the Willamette river, the park is just a few minutes SW of downtown Salem, and one of many options in the Salem area.  Although not located directly off I-5, this is a convenient location if you really want to explore Salem, or if you happen to be coming East from a coast trip in Lincoln City.  We are both impressed with this park...particularly the cleanliness of the park and the amenities provided and would certainly stay here again for events and activities in Salem.

Sites along the river

Our supersite

Supersite adds picnic table and parking spot
Setting 3.5  The park is accessible directly off Hwy 22.  The park is along the river, but the river is not visible directly from the sites.  There is a path behind that park that allows you to view the river.  Sites are all pristine and spotless.  Residents certainly seem to have pride in the park as well....no junk lying around, etc.  Downtown Salem is about 10 minutes and Hwy 99 which runs N/S through Oregon is also just about 10-15 minutes away.

Amenities  4  Tremendous water pressure, clean electrical and a huge array of cable channels included.  The park also has an extensive DVD library.  Some of the sites (like the supersite were were in) have an additional parking space and a picnic table which provides extra space.  The only negative was the sewer connection as there were no threads...so unable to make an airtight seal.  Great game room available and a small exercise room as well.  We did not utilize the laundry facilities, but they looked impressive.  Bathrooms were spotless and well apportioned.

Accessibility 5  Easy approach to the park.  All sites were easily navigable and any size rig should have no problem negotiated the sites.  May be limited on site selection for anything in the 42-45 foot range, but it could not be easier to navigate the park.

Friendliness 4  Very friendly front office and residents also seemed very neighborly.  Only staying the weekend, this is always hard to evaluate, but everyone we did meet was friendly and welcoming.
