Phoenix RV Park Good Sam Verified Campground

I’ve been staying at Phoenix RV Park for years. It was always the park of choice when I came to Salem to visit my children and grandchildren. Then I retired and in September of 2024, I made it my full-time home base. Over the past summer, I traveled more than 12,000 miles, visiting 53 RV parks along the way. I can honestly say that Phoenix RV Park is the best park I stayed in all summer. The streets are paved, and the sites are concrete. There is a patch of green grass between the sites... Read More

I’ve been staying at Phoenix RV Park for years. It was always the park of choice when I came to Salem to visit my children and grandchildren. Then I retired and in September of 2024, I made it my full-time home base. Over the past summer, I traveled more than 12,000 miles, visiting 53 RV parks along the way. I can honestly say that Phoenix RV Park is the best park I stayed in all summer. The streets are paved, and the sites are concrete. There is a patch of green grass between the sites along with trees, shrubbery, and foliage. Although I was gone at the time, I understand there was a problem with the irrigation system this past summer. However, when I returned in October, the grass at my site was still green, and it was obvious, from the work I could see going on, that the park was putting a significant amount of money into getting the system upgraded and repaired. The grounds are well maintained. Phoenix RV Park has cleanest laundry facilities I used all summer, including many public laundromats. In addition, there are three small dog parks, restrooms with showers, a workout/meeting room, a small store with RV essentials, a huge DVD library and even a gathering room with a full kitchen that is available with prior arrangements. You can tell that a great deal of effort is put into providing a welcoming environment for the residents. I understand that there may be plans in the works to make it even more “homey” for those of us who call it home. Melanie (the manager) and Rob (all around maintenance guy) run the park well. Melanie has always been friendly, helpful, and cooperative, and has gone out of her way to provide me with reasonable requests. From the research I did, Phoenix RV Park is, at the very least, competitively priced, and is lower than many other RV Parks in the northern Willamette Valley. I’ve made some meaningful friendships in the time I’ve been here. Overall, I’d recommend Phoenix RV Park all day long. It’s a place to put down some of your roots and stay a while.

A hidden gem in Salem is slowly deteriorating with new ownership/management in Mar 2024. Biggest change is NO OVERNIGHT stays, minimum monthly stay, sucks for those traveling the I5 corridor. Services have been cut, reduced office hours, garbage piles up over the weekend when there is no staff working. Dog parks not policed and frequently out of bags. Landscape service has been sub-contracted out and is lacking. Weeds are starting to take over, grass is browning out in multiple areas. Parking... Read More

A hidden gem in Salem is slowly deteriorating with new ownership/management in Mar 2024. Biggest change is NO OVERNIGHT stays, minimum monthly stay, sucks for those traveling the I5 corridor. Services have been cut, reduced office hours, garbage piles up over the weekend when there is no staff working. Dog parks not policed and frequently out of bags. Landscape service has been sub-contracted out and is lacking. Weeds are starting to take over, grass is browning out in multiple areas. Parking in the limited spaces around the office are usually taken by resident's "extra vehicle" leaving no room for guest parking. New management doesn't show the same passion for making Phoenix RV Park exceptional that previous managers had. New managers seem to be OK with letting it slowly decline.

Wow! what a surprise smack in the middle of town. Very nice park with flat sites, well maintained landscape and 3 dog areas. Clean and secure bathrooms, showers and laundry facility plus a free rec room with exercise equipment, a TV, communal puzzle and so much more. The location is conveniently located within walking distance to a Safeway for easy supply replenishment. Clean, quiet park with friendly staff. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very nice RV park, spaces have small lawns, tables with cement pad, support platform for propane stove or grill, full hookups, bushes to hide the neighbors hoses, and trees. We will be back.

Quiet, clean, well maintained park, friendly staff

Very nice park. Access off of Highway 5 was via a few surface streets, but easily done. Safeway grocery store within walking distance and gas stations were down the street. Spaces were not very wide, but there was a grass strip between each space. The landscaping was very well maintained. Laundry facilities and bathrooms were clean. I would definitely go there again if I was in the area.

Beautiful camp, actually looks like the pictures on the website. Green grass, shade trees, and landscaping at all sites. We will return, owner/managers very friendly and helpful.

Clean, well kept, Spaces a little narrow but not a real problem. Great Staff, come by site each morning to pick up and drop off propane. A good location for access to activities in Salem. Stayed a month during snow and freeze of 2017 [14-15 degrees]. Water well heated, no freezing, electric dependable. Lighting is good, quite park. Will stay again every time in Salem, if available.

Well arranged, maintained,quiet, clean park. Staff welcoming and helpful. As with most parks there are extended stay guests, but these do not have stuff everywhere. Very good experience. We would return if in the area.

One of the top 3 RV Parks on my trip around the US and Canada. Whoever laid out this park and then built it did a first class job. The only downside is poor "curbside appeal"...you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when you see the entrance from the entrance road...it is located amid a Safeway and other commercial enterprises. However, once you get through the front gate, everything changes. There is a wide and roomy check-in parking area, a large clean and neat office building, with a smiling... Read More

One of the top 3 RV Parks on my trip around the US and Canada. Whoever laid out this park and then built it did a first class job. The only downside is poor "curbside appeal"...you don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when you see the entrance from the entrance road...it is located amid a Safeway and other commercial enterprises. However, once you get through the front gate, everything changes. There is a wide and roomy check-in parking area, a large clean and neat office building, with a smiling and attractive lady greeting and welcoming you by name! I parked in a 50amp pull-through dragging a Jeep (#103), and there was plenty of room in front and behind still hooked up...no issues there... The lot was fully paved with concrete, level, two locations for sewerage, with easy plug-in for electric and water. $42 including taxes and the with GS Discount per night...a touch pricey...but, worth it. The entire place is immaculately clean and neat. The entire place is meticulously landscaped with beautiful small trees, plants, flowers and well-groomed grass. The Park is quiet through the night. A clear view of the southern sky was no problem for my satellite TV receiver. The park is located about 1.5 miles from the closest I5 exit, but no issues navigating the route. Pay attention to the [To I5] signs leaving the park back to I5. I made an error and turned the wrong way, but, it was still no problem getting back onto I5 going southbound. I recommend this RV Park.
