Grizz Travels

We took the Grizz up to Leavenworth for a couple days, to enjoy some great early spring weather. Coming over Stevens Pass, there were piles of snow six feet high along highway 2, but we enjoyed 80-degree weather for the weekend.

After driving through Leavenworth, you’ll cross the Wenatchee River, and take a left by the Safeway. At this point disregard your GPS’ insistence to turn left again. Instead, bear to the right, following the signs pointing to the campground. Trust me, I missed the sign the first time, and got the pleasure of turning around a 40-foot beast in a residential neighborhood.

We eventually arrived, and proceeded through the campground from the front entrance, moving slowly through the park to the main office, which also contains a gift store, some beverages, and some RV’ing essentials. Staging lanes for parking of around eight rigs are in front of the store and are easily accessible. The staff inside are pleasant, friendly, and very helpful. When we arrived, we inquired about purchasing three bundles of wood for the fire ring, and it was no problem. We were given the option of paying directly, or simply billing it to our site. I started to grab the wood, and the nice lady said, “No sir, we’ll deliver it to your site.” Wow!

We were guided to our site by a nice gentleman in a gator (or side-by-side), who also brought along the firewood. After meandering back toward the front of the park, we were guided into our pull-through deluxe patio site, which included a concrete patio, fire ring, a nice table and chair set, a glider seat for two, and a Weber gas grill. The site was level, with no drainage problems, with the RV parking area being gravel, with grass on both sides. The grill was freshly cleaned, and ready for action. We used it for cooking dinner one night and had no problems.

The bigrig pull through sites are nicely spaced, with lots of room between neighbors. Trash disposal is not a problem, as there are receptacles throughout the park, which are cleaned regularly. The only time you might run in to a full can is right around daily check-out time (11:00am).

There are a number of comfort stations around the park, and we used #2, located in the middle of the park. This looked to be one of their newer buildings and was very nice. Modern locks on the doors, nice flooring, and alpine/woodsy decor. Inside the comfort station is the laundry, mens and womens restrooms, and shower cubicles. The cubicles are a bit tight, and the water pressure is a little low, but they are free for guests, and the hot water didn’t run out. Also, they are cleaned regularly, which was evident.

Wifi at the park is provided free for guests. It is an open network, and a bit on the slow side. Cable TV is included (at least for our site) and worked acceptably for us.

There are one- and two-room cabins on site as well. We will most likely be returning at some point, bringing our adult children along to stay there, while stay in our motorhome.

Great place, close to town. Would stay again.
