Bad: All the sites are mud and sand. The bathrooms are run down. The washers and dryers are old and always breaking down. It's a battle to do laundry. It's almost always full. The WiFi hardly ever worked. Even management admitted that it didn't work right but there was nothing they could do about it. Some of the children living there were very mean to the younger children and liked to beat them up. Management was also aware of this, but did nothing. There are a lot of permanent residents there with run down trailers. Good: The sites have fire pits. There is free firewood available for the fire pits. Park is fairly quiet. They are adding more sites to the park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground used to be The Firs RV Park, it is under new ownership. Many permanent run down TT and MH, junk all around, the WiFi did not work well. The laundry room was dirty and half of the machines were not working, beyond repair, the washrooms were dirty, we used our bathroom in the TT. We will never return to this park We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It's a beautiful park just a mile off Hiway 101. Not so far as to be a journey, but far
enough to be quiet and peaceful beneath the fir trees. A great place to use as a base of operations, but lacking in activities. The free WiFi was terrific. Will definitely include this park in our next itinerary. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A great place to stay, very popular with OHV crowd. We were just passing through, but the ATV folks were friendly and not too noisy. If the sound of ATV engines annoys you, skip this park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice clean park, very friendly staff. Good if you are there to strictly gamble at the casino. I gave this a 7 only because we were traveling on a sight seeing vacation and enjoy spending evenings BBQing and visiting in our camp sites. No tables in site. A few tables along the grass on back side near the bay and not much room in our sites to set up chairs. We had room for our 4 slides, and it was long enough to park our towed vehicle in our site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park with level, large sites. The staff was very helpful, the casino had good food, and we really enjoyed our short stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park with pretty much everything. As for several previous postings about the sites being unlevel, I did not see anything out of the norm and had no problem getting level. Nice friendly people and very clean facilities. Shuttle picks you up and takes you to the casino. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean and orderly. Not a lot of ambience, but more than a parking lot. The bayside view sites made the difference. Not a lot of space between rigs but enough. Short walk to casino. Plank House has great clam chowder plus you get a $3 off coupon. There's an indoor pool and 2 hot tubs. Would definitely stay here again. There's even a city bus that goes by and the casino provides a shuttle to and from your site and to the golf course. What a deal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow! While traveling up 101 on the Oregon coast we passed many RV Parks that looked really iffy. What a thrill to drive up to this park! Okay, some say it's a fancy parking lot, but it is right on the water at Coos Bay with a beautiful view of the mountains in the background. Is it for kids?...no. But it is new, super clean, well-located to the casino (with shuttle) with great restaurants, and what a view! The sites are huge. We have 40' with a tow and did not even have to unhook. We don't even gamble and we love this place! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great RV park... we will definitely stop here again. The sites are huge and wide and I do mean wide. Wonderful view of the bay. Very clean and well laid out. After parking and setting up we walked to the Casino and had a nice prime rib dinner (early bird special) with soup/salad and dessert. If you get a slot card you get 15% off your fee at the rv park. If you don't feel like walking to the restaurants or casino they have a shuttle that will pick you up and drop you off at you rig. Only negative is that the wifi is very slow. We camped here in a Motorhome.
You save $2 per night by getting a Players Club card at the casino. The staff is superior to most other parks; they were very helpful. All sites are paved with new services. Close to casino and shopping. There is security that drives around the park 24 hours a day. Also, there is a casino shuttle. We won at the casino!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice new all paved clean. Mostly pull-thru. Free wifi but slow, great laundry, big clean showers. Helpful staff. Good location for exploring the area, we crabbed in Charleston from here. Nothing for the kids, casino within walking distance. Rates dropped to $18 in Oct. Also has large gravel lot next door for FREE boon-docking with shower access for $5. If we'd have known we would have not paid for full hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great spot for an overnight stop. There are not a lot of large trees, however the spaces facing the water are very nice. There is no grass adjacent to the spaces, and they have let the grass adjacent to the perimeter of the park die although it appears they are trying to water it to revive it. There aren't a lot of amenities as you must go to the Casino to use the pool or enjoy other recreation. The spots were large and they were easy to maneuver with a vehicle in tow. It would be nice if they would finish fencing off the dog run area to provide an enclosed area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park that is only two years old. The facilities were excellent, well maintained and very clean. Restrooms and showers were immaculate as was the laundry room. Staff was very helpful and courteous. There is a shuttle to the casino although walking is not bad, unless the wind is blowing (cold). Our site was on the row closest to the bay (Coos Bay) with a nice, unobstructed view of the ships and barges coming and going. Close to towns of North Bend and Coos Bay. Very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We Stayed here in June 2008 for only one night. Sites are ok, but expensive for what they offer. Beware of so called premium waterfront sights, as they are more, and you can see the bay as well from any sights they are only a few feet closer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I think we paid a little less due to having eaten dinner in the casino. You will get 15% off by registering for the Millionaire's Club. We were disappointed to learn that the seafood buffet is only on Friday and Saturday nights. The casino is very smoky although they have a no smoking section. The campground is all asphalt with grass on the Coos Bay edge. Might stay here again but my endorsement is not enthusiastic. They have a parking area where RVs can stay overnight for free, so that might be a better choice for some. Staff is very friendly but check-in process is laborious and slow. Clean and well-maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Mill Casino RV Park seems like a large converted parking lot designed to serve RV owners who were casino bound and not that interested in enjoying the amenities of today’s typical RV Park. It provided us, however with a much needed a respite from typical Oregon winter weather complete with rain, hail, and mighty winds while on our trip to southern California. The large pull through space accommodated everything nicely without needing to unhook the tow vehicle, which would have been quite an experience in the above-mentioned weather. They also provided a much-appreciated warm and dry shuttle bus to and from the casino where we had an excellent dinner at their plentiful buffet. Overall it was a great place to stop and although it was not in our master trip plan. We appreciated and were grateful for all they had to offer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just a fancy parking lot, but pretty nice for the casino patrons. We were concerned about noise when we first arrived, but found it quiet in spite of its location and proximity to road and casino. Staff were really friendly and the Sunday brunch at the casino was fabulous for $17! We would stay here again, but just as as stopover. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The only thing keeping me from rating this new park at "10" is the entrance from 101. Why do they insist on making you drive around flower islands and curbs. It just does not work with a 40' RV with a tow. They should create a new entrance to the RV park and bypass the Casino & hotel entrance and engineer it for the big rigs that they can easily accommodate. This is a lovely park overlooking a river. The price of your site depends on whether you opt for back-in or pull-thru and if you are on the river. Rates start at $30 and go to $40. The office staff did indicate that the rates are going down in October. We actually stayed in the Casino "over size vehicle" lot and dry camped. This too was great and it cost us $0 per night (excluding what we lost gambling). We highly recommend this RV park and would stay here the next time we are in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice, clean, well maintained park. Streets are asphalt and are wide. Sites are asphalt and are large, however, some of them are not very level. Some motorhomes front tires were off the pavement. They require you to use pads under the jacks. There is a narrow strip of shrubs and bushes between each site. The park is big rig friendly. There were lots of cable TV channels. There are no trees to get in the way of satellite dishes. Wifi worked good and was fast. We would stay at this park again. Outside the park, there is a large gravel parking lot for dry camping. It is free, but you do have to register at the RV park office. It would probably hold 100 RVs of any size. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stayed here for a week. The office staff was helpful and courteous. My site was clean and everything worked. I had a waterfront site but the view is cluttered by old pilings, steel and is quite a ways away but still a nice view. They have a good pet area but don't police the pet rules very well. All pets were not on a leash, with Security driving right by them. A few people did not clean up after their animals. But I have to say MOST did. I do not have any pets but do enjoy visiting with others' animals. The other issue was they instructed me when I arrived that I had to use jack pads for my jacks, and not everyone was using them. I don't understand how the rules only apply to some of the campers AND not everyone. A good place to spend the night but would not be a "destination" for me again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, with excellent facilities. Great laundry, showers, wifi, etc. Very nice staff. Shuttle or short walk to casino. Smoke-free slot room. Windy, as the devil, after 11 AM, but maybe I was here on a bad week. Otherwise, it is very easy to get to, right on 101. It also has a very, very large boondocking area if you want to overnight for free. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I did not consider this fine park because of the prior negative reviews. It's too bad. The new park should be rated much higher that the prior reviews. I visited the park while in the area. The only negative - the park is pricey. I think they would have had lower prices considering that it is part of the Mill Casino. If you join the casino's club you can get a 15% discount. They do honor Good Sam discounts. Will I stay there next year? Maybe, but, nearby, Lucky Loggers in Coos Bay is hard to beat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is inconceivable to me that these folks would spend millions building a casino, but would then put in a fourth-rate (I am being kind) RV Park adjacent to it. This park is nothing but a poorly designed parking lot, with a lousy view, and lousy sites. Wouldn't stay here for any reason. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The first tipoff that there was something amiss in this brand new resort was that there were plenty of motorhomes at the casino, but only a handful were actually within the resort. The rest were drycamping on the casino grounds for reasons of their own. Although there is a river view (through an industrial area), the resort is pretty much a big parking lot. Unfortunately, although this is a brand new facility, the owners saw fit to make each pull-thru site fairly short (for a 40' with toad anyway), they are "humped" so it can be impossible to level out, and most absurd is a requirement that you place pads under your jacks. This means you have to crawl under your rig 8 times getting in and out, soiling yourself on the black asphalt. How they could have built the sites without making them strong enough to handle a motorhome is beyond me. I doubt they will rebuild the sites, so we'll never go there again for that reason alone. Finally, the rate is pretty high for that part of the world, especially for a casino, and they charge a pretty high amount for Internet access still. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Agree with other poster. I stayed here during the 4th of July celebration there. Very crowded but spectacular firework show. Not a very good restaurant but there is a restaurant called the Pancake Mill across the street which is nice. Lots of highway noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
