Built on the site of a former water park, this campground makes for a good stopping point as part of a longer journey. We stayed here overnight, as part of a longer journey.
Upon pulling into the park, it was easy to discern the staging lanes, right in front of the office. During this time of COVID, the staff has made it easy to perform a no-contact check-in. Simply look in the box on the wall, next to the office door, for an envelope with your name on it, and you’ll find your site number, as well as information about the campground and some local attractions.
Finding our site was relatively easy, since it was near the front of the park. We did have to drive to the mid-point of the park, then double back on the parallel road, but not a deal breaker. This kind of “flip-around” is kind of expected when you are using a pull-through site.
The site itself was a bit tight, both in length and width. The Grizz is eight feet wide, and the paved portion of the site is just wide enough to fit our tires inside. With the slides out, the grass is covered. This comes in to play when the sprinklers come on at 10:00pm. The water used in the sprinkler system is reclaimed, which I have no problem with recycling and reusing as needed. Be forewarned though: If you have a darker colored rig, be prepared for a storm of hard water spots along the length of your RV.
In reference to the grass, there is a strip for each site, just wide enough to fit a picnic table. We were unable to extend our awning, as there was a tree in the way. This wasn’t a big deal though, since the trees provided some much-needed shade in the 101F heat.
Connectivity
Cell service is adequate, and we experience 3-4 bars of Verizon service. Free wifi is available in the park. However, the wifi was slow enough to be unusable, which is surprising since we were about 40 feet from the office.
There were no over-the-air digital channels available, nor was cable TV available.
Facilities
Being self-contained, we rarely take advantage of facilities in campgrounds. Visiting Suncrest was no exception. They do appear to have a variety of spaces available, and from what I was able to see, they were clean and lightly used.
There is no food option site, and the nearest restaurant is approximately five miles away. We were towards the end of our adventure for the month, and neither of us felt like cooking, so we ordered a pizza. The only reason I mention this is that the campground is out of area for some deliveries.
Summary
Not a bad place to stop for an overnighter as a part of a longer journey, if you can live without wifi. If you would like to stay here longer, I’d caution to make your stay towards early- to mid-spring, or late fall. The weather in Moses Lake is HOT during the summer. Not a fault of the campground of course. Just a tip.
