Port #2 discusses County Line fees

Wahkiakum Port District #2 commissioners are working to finalize rates at County Line Park.

The port took over management of the park along SR 4 late last year. Since then, the camping facilities have been closed for restroom refurbishment, electrical upgrades, and well improvements to provide potable water. The day use portion of the park remains open.

There are now three tent sites at the park, as well as 18 RV sites. Two of the sites can accommodate 53-foot RVs, and the rest are constructed for 38-foot RVs.

Commissioners settled on $20/night for RV campers, and $10/night for tent sites. They debated adding a $2 charge for all-day parking in the day use portion of the park, but decided against it at the present. They agreed to revisit the day use fee in six months.

The commissioners will hold a rate hearing and finalize the rates at their next meeting on February 18.

The port intends to reopen the park for camping at the end of February. Reservations have started to come in already via word-of-mouth, Park Manager Janet Bryan said.
