Manchester State Park WA Comments & Reviews
Visited Manchester State Park WA Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Manchester State Park WA?
Oh my, simple yet gorgeous…water front views
Manchester Park is in the woods. No sites are by the water. You walk down to the War buildings and walk the path around the water. Picnic tables and lots of rocky beach also. We stayed June 18-24/2020. The stay was fine, but the low rating is because SITE #6 says it is a pull-through that can handle max 35′ rv. Our 5th wheel is 35′ towed by GMC Denali super cab, short box so standard wheel base. Site 6 is NOT A PULLTHROUGH, but has a dangerous drop off if you even try to go forward…but the fir trees are on the right exit side so there is no swing, just drop off! I had to guide my hubby forward to get into the site as a huge fir tree was within 2′ on the right side, with more trees very close on right. You could NOT go forward as the right tire was within 2″ of the 3-4′ drop off edge and huge fir trees…no room to continue forward as there were trees on the left and right, and it was more of a 90° left to get out. As hubby backed out, another camper guided him and watched the front, as I did the same at the rear! I was told a motorhome had the same trouble the week before, and a man across the way stayed in it with a smaller trailer, but had to move as too hard also. I told the office about how bad it is And I wrote how seriously misinformed we are on the WA STATE SURVEY. It was our 1st trip to this park, and our last as not a true water front park, but forest. Looking at site #6 pic on Campsitephotos.com…it looks like a good pull-through…you can’t see the hidden dropoff, trees or 90° angle at other end. Sorry, but had to mention ;(.
Hi Molly,
Sorry you had a bad experience there, but thanks for the valuable input – especially about the hidden drop off at site #6.
