Edgewater RV Resort and Motel, Lakeside MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

Edgewater RV Park1We stayed here based on internet reviews and were not disappointed. Fast, friendly check-in (make sure you pet the cat), large, level concrete pads, and Edgewater RV Park2spacious, all-concrete sites. Although along the highway, there was no significant noise and the park was quiet and dark at night. OK cable, no obstructions to the satellites, but little OTA TV. Edgewater RV Park3The park WiFi worked well during our one-week stay regardless of the time of day. Verizon cell/data were also very good. The hosts are veteran professionals who excel at making this a great stay, and we'll be back. Reasonable at Passport America’s rate of $30/night.  Edgewater RV Resort and Motel

Area Tips:  Located right on the shore of Flathead Lake and a little over an hour to Glacier National Park.  Good shopping and dining just North of Kalispell.

Sula Country Store and RV Park, Sula MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 7

Sula RV Park1Calling this a "resort" may be a bit of a stretch, but it's a great little park under tall pines and next to a stream. Only a few sites, and only one with 50A, but they're fairly level gravel pull-thrus with adequate spacing.Sula RV Park3 No cable or WiFi, but surprisingly a few OTA stations. Lots of trees, but a few holes for a tripod satellite mount. Verizon cell/data worked well. Some truck noise from the highway, but fairly quiet at night. Sula RV Park2The store has basic items but the restaurant wasn't open this early in the year.  A great value at $25/night.  Sula Country Store and RV Park

Countryside RV Park, Dillon, MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

Countryside RV Park DillonI wish RV park owners all over the country would visit this park to see how a park should be designed. Long, level gravel pull-thrus are staggered so that the nose of your neighbors rig is aligned with the back of yours. Countryside RV Park Dillon2Lots of grass, good hookups, and quiet and dark at night. Good Verizon cell/data, and solid park WiFi. No cable or OTA TV here, but the office has a library of DVDs and there are no obstructions to the satellites. Countryside RV Park Dillon3Easy access to the interstate but far enough that there's no road noise. Nice views of the mountains and close to Dillon for shopping and dining. Well worth the $35/night.  Countryside RV Park

Area Tips:  Dillon doesn’t offer much in the way of dining, but Sparky’s Garage was very good.  Don’t miss a visit to Bannack State Park, the best-preserved ghost town you’ll ever see.

Ennis RV Village, Ennis, MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

Ennis RV Park1A great park in the beautiful Madison Valley.  Interior roads and sites are hard-packed gravel and level, with better than average space between.  Ennis RV Park2Nicely maintained green grass and a small tree at each site.  Friendly office staff and hands-on owner who will go out of his way to be helpful.  Easy to find and access from the main highway.  Quiet and dark at night. Ennis RV Park3 No cable TV or OTA here, but no obstructions to the satellites.  WiFi was unusable during our stay, but Verizon cell/data were strong.  Located just outside of Ennis, a neat little town with adequate shopping and dining, and an hour from West Yellowstone.  A big trout fishing area, so make reservations in the summer.  Reasonable at $36/night.  Ennis RV Village
