Chris's Camp, Spearfish SD

Stay Date:  Sept 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 6

Large, busy park with grass and shade. Sites too close together to enjoy the outdoors; we had difficulty navigating around the picnic table without stepping on our neighbor's sewer hose to get to our tow car. Our pull through site was grass/gravel and sloped. Hookups are at the rear and may require extensions. The owner is helpful and friendly, but neither her nor her staff wore masks. Lots of motorcycle noise during the day but quiet at night. Park WiFi worked well during the day when there were few users but was unusable at night. Verizon cell/data were strong. No OTA TV but ample areas to use tripod satellite dish. Great location but at a premium price for sites crammed together.  Pricy at $53/night

Camp Three Forks, Three Forks, MT

Our Rating:  BAD - 5

We were disappointed in our stay. While the park advertises full hookups, our $48.60 got us a 30A and water site. An old KOA, the infrastructure is in need of upgrading; even the 30A plug was worn, cobweb covered, and only inches off the ground. Otherwise, it looks like a nice park during the summer months with a pool, shade, and playground. WiFi worked well, and Verizon Cell/Data was strong. No OTA TV, no cable, and iffy looks through the trees for the TV satellites. Trees need to be trimmed - we scraped our roof getting into our site, and overall, anything over 40' is going to struggle to maneuver in the park. Next time we'll pass this one by. Overpriced at $48/night.

Our Rating:  GOOD - 10

An outstanding park with campsites to fit every desire. One campground has no hookups, another has water/electric, and another with full hookups. Miles and miles

of trails, a swimming beach with bathhouse, a boat launch, five disk golf courses, a "tree-to-tree" adventure concession, and an impressive museum of the parks WWII days. Paved access roads and sites, most sites under shade, and clean restrooms/showers. Amazingly, all sites are well spaced, regardless of the campground. Great staff of volunteers and rangers. Verizon cell/data spotty depending on campground, no OTA TV, and iffy if using a rooftop dish.  $37/night for non-resident full hookups.

Base Camp RV Park, Lakeview, OR

Stay Date:  May 2020

Our Rating:  BAD - 4

Nothing has changed in the three years we last visited. The roads are dusty and rutted, weeds and grass are unmown, and there is no cable or OTA TV. Most of the sites are taken by long-term residents, and their vehicles can be noisy

early in the morning. Sites are fairly level and thankfully shaded, but very close together. Our site was too close to the neighbor to extend an awning or hold a picnic table. Verizon cell and data worked well, and park WiFi was fine during the day, slow and barely usable in the evening. OK for an overnight only.  $35/Night.  Base Camp RV Park

Grant County Fairgrounds, John Day OR

Stay Date:  May 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 8

We enjoyed our stay at this great little park adjacent to the

fairgrounds. Interior roads and sites are paved and level, and there are large trees to provide shade. A popular park, and reservations are available on line with payment at a kiosk. Quiet at night with the sound of rushing water from an

adjacent river. Convenient to town and the highway. No cable or OTA TV, but park WiFi worked well. Verizon cell and data were strong. Rooftop satellites may have difficulty due to the overhanging trees. Most sites are spacious; ours was the end site and not at large as others but was completely shade covered.  Very reasonably priced at $30/night.  Grant Country Fairgrounds

Stay Date:  Oct 2019

Our Rating:  GOOD (8)

Rate is Passport America. A very well maintained, quiet park with easy access to I-5. Paved interior roads and level pull-thru sites with concrete pads and patio and table. Grass site with small trees and conveniently located hookups. Good Verizon cell/data, adequate WiFi, and

free cable TV. Not many obstacles to satellite TV. A little crowded, with many long term campers, but nicely maintained with a friendly staff. A great overnight in a quiet area off I-5. We camped at Tri City RV Park in a Motorhome.  A great Passport America Rate of $20/night.  Tri-City RV Park

Southern Oregon/Jackson County RV Park, Medford OR

Our Rating:  GOOD (9)

One of the best laid out, well maintained parks we've been to. Paved interior roads and sites with a concrete patio and integral fire pit. Beautiful grass, young trees, and attractive landscaping throughout. Our site was level and had a large area of grass and plants. The park is far enough off the interstate to be reasonably quiet but

easily accessible to the I-5 and shopping. Good WiFi, excellent Verizon cell/data, lots of OTA TV, and easy access to TV satellites. Nice office with comfortable area if your RV is being worked on, friendly staff, and coffee. Well worth the stay and we'll make this our base anytime we're in the area.  A great stay at $38/night.  Southern Oregon RV Park
