Mountain Home RV Park, Mountain Home ID

Stay Date:  October 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 10

Absolutely one of the best parks we've stayed at in our 15 years of full timing. Beautiful landscaping, well laid out with large paved interior roads, and extra long paved pull thru sites. Friendly check in and escort to our

site. Convenient hook ups, outstanding digital cable TV, and strong WiFi. No obstructions to TV satellite. Trash pickup at site was a nice touch and appreciated. A large park, but quiet at night with little noise from the interstate. We'll plan another stay at this exceptional park. Worth the $48/Night.

Buffalo Meadows RV Park (Fort Hall Casino) Fort Hall, ID

 Stay Date:  October 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 6

A convenient and reasonably priced overnight stay. We made reservations and called the casino when entering the property. They issued our site number and told us to come in pay when convenient. Paved interior roads and mostly level gravel pull-thru sites with convenient hookups. Sites are close together with some grass. Park WiFi was good, Verizon cell/data was strong, and there was ample OTA TV. No obstructions to satellite. A good overnight stay at $25/night with player's card. 

Ennis RV Village, Ennis MT

Stay Date:  October 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 9

We've enjoyed staying at this park over the years. Easy entry and access to sites on gravel roads, large, level gravel pull-thru sites, and nicely landscaped. Convenient hookups, No OTA TV or cable but no obstructions to satellites. WiFi was out during our stay but Verizon cell/data was strong. Although a large park, it was quiet at night with no road noise. Easy access to the touristy town of Ennis and Virginia City. A beautiful area; we'll stay here again. Reasonable at $41/Night

Osen's RV Park, Livingston MT

 Stay Date:  October 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 7

A nicely maintained, well laid out park that was quiet at night. A bit congested in the back in area but doable. Our site was spacious and level with grass and a table. No OTA TV, but park cable was very good and there were no

obstructions to satellite TV. The park's WiFi worked well throughout the day, and Verizon cell/date were very good. Entry and egress to the park/highway are on basically a one-lane road that requires opposing traffic to pull off when meeting a big rig. The procedure of closing the large gate at 7:00 nightly and requiring returning guests to remove the chain, open and close the gate was an irritant. $46/Night

Deer Park Campground, Buffalo WY

Stay Date:  Oct 2020

Our Rating:  Good - 8

This is a great place to stay while exploring the area. An old KOA, the interior gravel roads are easy to navigate and our gravel site, a "pull in - back out" was level and tree shaded. Lots of grass and shade, and quiet at night. Convenient to downtown and the highway. Park WiFi was usable depending on the time of day. Cable TV was fuzzy to

the point of being unusable, and satellite TV without a movable dish is iffy due to the trees. Verizon cell/data were strong. A comfortable stay in an interesting area.  $46/Night

Rocky Point Recreation Area, Belle Forche SD

 Stay Date:  Oct 2020

Our Rating:  GOOD - 8

A great place to relax on the shores of the Belle Fourche reservoir. Huge sites, many with access to the shoreline. Interior roads are paved with gravel, mostly level sites. Electric (50&30A) at site and water and

dump station available. Verizon cell/data were strong, but no OTA TV. Not much shade at sites so no obstructions to satellite TV. Volleyball and horseshoe courts available as well as a boat launch. Quiet and peaceful - an excellent getaway.  $33/night includes reservation fee.

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

Stay Date:  Sept 2020        

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.

Farragut State Park

Stay Date:  Sept 2020

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
