• Affordability.
• Mean forest ranger lady and how dumpy so many sites were.

“As an association, you would think that there would be a requirement to keep your lot looking clean - We spent 1/2 day looking at the lots for sale - Could not get over how horrible looking so many of the lots looked - There was some nice ones - Not too many with privacy, which is what we were looking for - The forest ranger looking lady, I believe, over re-acted when I accidentally drove down the new one way gravel road by the pools - She kept yelling at me in a loud voice even after I told her she did not need to yell and it was an accident - Than seemed to make her madder - I will not return to the park or consider buying in.”

• Decent facilities.
• Too many garbage trees, 12 miles from store, many restrictions.

“If you like to camp without seeing the sun then this is the place for you. So many trees it borders on the absurd. Too many garbage trees that just make a big mess on your lot. As my visiting friend put it great place to camp if you like camping in a cave.”

• Being in nature, the swimming pool, and the indoor pool and sauna for those 50+.
• No cable for internet, but there is an internet center.

“I love going to Port Susan and hiding away in the forest in the summer. In the winter it is a little dark and cold with all the trees, but in the summer it is heavenly (although I do wish there were more sunny lots). It's an affordable way to spend the summers in Washington when we choose to and we don't have to worry about our trailer and belongings since the park is a gated and has rangers who patrol. There are a lot of rules to keep the park safe, clean, pristine, and such, but those rules are actually what keep the park so very nice.”

• Facilities, services, setting, relaxed attitude, quiet for a campground.
• Predictable park politics, some condo commando type people (easy to avoid if you don't want to be involved).

“Port Susan is a private camping club, where you buy a membership and pay an annual maintenance fee. You have access to a camping site for 180 days each year. You can leave your RV there all year, so you have may have drive to camping. This is nice because once you are set up on your site, you don't have to spend a lot of time preparing each time you get away. Positives include reasonable buy in and annual maintenance fees. The club is non profit. Location is easy to access off I 5 (about 15 minutes from freeway). There are plenty of stores within a 20 minute drive. Although close to city services, the location feels remote. You definitely feel that you get away to a remote location. There are an incredible amount of facilities and services (24 hour rangers, gated entrance, pools, lake, clubhouse, water, and power, septic). There are no weekend passes so that you can check out the part before you buy in. The best you can do is visit the membership office and ask for a tour of sites for sale. Our family has a site at port Susan. We really enjoy it and would recommend it.”
