Thousand Trails Cultus Lake

We have been camping here for 43 years. It used to be outstanding with plenty of activities. Now there are none. The bathrooms during our stay in July were absolutely disgusting- black mould growing in the showers, toilet paper all over the floors, no paper in the paper towel dispenser, overflowing garbage can. Management should be deeply ashamed. The dog waste receptacle across the road from our site was overflowing onto the road for three days. Thank goodness we are self contained and could use our own bathroom. This place could continue to be lovely with more effort by staff.

Stayed in our RV and had a great time. Will return next year. Wish the pool was open longer and more sights had w/s/e for big rvs. Not a complaint, just a wish. Recommend social hour or game night once a month for all campers even in winter. Laundry rooms for campers were clean and handy. Lounge was clean and had a good variety of quiet activities like books and puzzles and games. TV and wifi also in lounge. Did not use gym or bathrooms but they are available. Staff was busy and helpful. Forgot to go to store because we were so busy enjoying the nearby lake.

Was a bit of a shocking experience being that we've stayed at TT locations across WA, OR, and CA before but this was our first time at TT Cultus Lake. Made a reservation but upon arrival was surprised with the info that they don't actually hold a site for you but rather encourage you to go find your own site. This wastes a LOT of time and aimless driving around the whole campsite in search of an open space. We arrived on a friday night, in the dark, thinking like a normal campground, RV park we had a reservation (as the email confirmed) but in reality you don't. After much circling in the dark and realizing the sites are VERY poorly marked with site numbers at the BACK of the lot (this makes them difficult to see even in the daytime, and virtually impossible to see at night) we finally found one single available site. In the morning I awoke to discover (now daylight and can actually see the grounds) that our site has garbage, wrappers, cans etc left all over the place. Clearly no one at any point in the day had ever come by to check the site or clean it. This is now getting into really really poor performance here by an RV park. With no proper site reservation system and clearly no site supervision, this encourages campers to now take advantage of what they think they can get away with. Picnic tables being stolen out of sites, sits being PURPOSELY blocked by neighboring campers so they can have extra storage for their items or even vehicles. Our neighbor bragged to me about how he had parked his truck in an open site next to him so no one would take the open site. Meanwhile within the same hour I could see people arriving and circling looking for an open spot and they have no idea that the spot they just drove past IS available because someone is unjustly using it for bonus parking. I would describe the overall system in place at this RV park as "very poor". Upon checkin the employee at the booth also told my family there is a "path to the lake" just follow the river downstream. In the morning I went to go and check out the path and came to find 50 yards or so down the path is a large chainlink fence with big signage NO TRESPASSING and the fence goes down the embankment into the river to keep people off this private property. THIS is the path your employee is encouraging guests to take by stepping into the river and manuevering around the fence to then get into private property and continue on to the lake. The liability alone instruction visistors to take a dangerous path onto some other owners private property is mind blowing. Lastly the employee who was checking us in upon arrival was clearly stoned. The whole booth he was in reeked of a vape pen and he was very obviously high. These are all my 100% real experiences at this park. I could not in good faith recommend someone coming here. It needs some serious overhaul on staff training (the information they give out, the image they present) and facility management (making people circle in the dark for sites with no CLEAR site #'s is absurd).

This place is nice but unfortunately the full timers ruin it for the renters, more than one was very rude to us. Also the first come first serve is very unpleasant, there is always someone driving around and around looking for a site. Won’t be coming back here, there are so many other destinations better than this area.

I did not give five stars because they only have 30 AMP and no pickleball courts or mini golf. Other than that it is a nice quiet campground in the spring time at least unless it's spring break for the kids. There is a pool but not open until May long weekend. There is a store too, with winter hours of Wed through Sat, 10 - 5.
