Turtle
Rock RV Resort was adopted by Julian and Kachina Starr in 1988
after they found it abandoned and in sad shape. They lovingly began
reconstructing it, having to move slowly through the maze of beaureacratic
red tape to comply with the strict environmental issues and building
codes required along the Oregon Coast. I'm very impressed with what
they have created here and was glad to make it my home while in
Gold Beach in September, 2005.

Here's
the site I chose (C45) located between two cottages on the water
side.

I was so impressed that it was so level, I only had to extend the
jacks for stability purposes.

Here's
site #88, a pull-through looking onto the creekside cottages. The
beach is to the left with a short easy-access path.

Here's
the park's mascot - or at least its namesake. Use your imagination
and you should have no trouble finding the Turtle in the Rock formation.
You can visit him every day as he lives just across the road from
the park.

Wanna
shower with your honey? Six immaculate private bathrooms, some with
dual opposing shower heads will allow you to do just that!

I
always love a campfire on a chilly night. Lots of private parks
don't allow open fires nowadays due to fire regulations, so I'm
especially impressed they jumped through the necessary bureaucratic
hoops to allow them in certain sites here. These are my friendly
neighbors from Sacramento, George & Sherie Lemire and Myron
& Helen Nadolski, who kindly allowed me to use them as my campfire
models.

2 cents:
Sites
by the sea,
unrestricted access to the ocean, and convenience to everything
in Gold Beach made for a very enjoyable stay for me. With the
added bonus of Julian and Kachina's friendliness and hospitality,
I don't hesitate to recommend this as your home-base while exploring
this beautiful section of the Oregon Coast. One of the things
I really loved was their complimentary high-speed Wi-fi Internet
access, available at every site in the park. I'm getting better
at setting up my own satellite dish, but I like it more when
I don't have to lug it out at all! |
