Silver Spur RV Park, Silverton, OR

Stay Date:  June2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 9
Silver Spur RV Park1We enjoyed our stay at this nicely maintained, professionally run park.  Interior roads and sites were gravel, but pull thrus were long and level.  Excellent cable and WiFi, even when the park was full.  Silver Spur RV Park2Easy entry, but exit requires a round about route to reenter the highway.  Some road noise during the day, but fairly quiet at night.  Verizon cell/4G were strong, and there were no obstructions to the satellite.  Silverton is a quaint little town, Silver Spur RV Park3and Silver Falls State Park is well worth the trip.  A bargain at the Passport America rate of $20/night.  Silver Spur RV Park

Vale Trails RV Park, Vale OR

Stay Date:  June 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 7
Vail Trails1This is a quiet, tree-shaded park in the small town of Vale.  After check in, you drive back onto the road to enter the pull-thru areas.  Vale Trails2Interior roads and sites were gravel, and the site was level although hookups were placed well in back of the normal parking position.  Trees prevented use of the rooftop satellite, although there may be sites with a clear shot if requested.  Vale Trails3Cable TV was limited, and the free WiFi worked well.  Verizon cell/4G was good.  Nice lady in the office.  A good stopover for $31/night.  Vale Trails RV Park

Clearwater Crossing RV Park, Orofino, ID

Stay Date:  June 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 9
Clearwater Crossing1This is a great little park sitting beside the Clearwater River in the little town of Orofino.  All paved roads and sites, with just a few outstanding pull thrus that put your patio side right on the river.  Clearwater Crossing2We managed to snag on (site 21) and couldn’t have asked for a better location.  Long, (90 feet), with patio and table, we were right on the river.  Very friendly host who stopped by to make sure we were comfortable.  Clearwater Crossing3Limited cable TV, good WiFi, with good Verizon cell/data.  Getting to the park requires driving over a short stretch of dirt road and a railroad track, so take it slow.  Quiet except for the sounds of rushing water.  Considering the area and the site, reasonable at $36/night.  Clearwater Crossing RV Park

Lolo Square dance Center and RV Campground, Lolo MT

Stay Date June 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 8
Squaredance Center1This was our second visit to this campground and we enjoyed the location, quiet, and tall trees.  Two miles off highway 93, the park has easy access and a very friendly staff.  Squaredance Center2Interior roads are dirt/gravel and there is some dust, and sites are mostly gravel and level.   Nice grassy area between each site with a table.  Limited cable and very strong WiFi, and Verizon cell/4G were very good. Squaredance Center3 Lots of trees, but with a little luck you can find a view of the TV satellites.  Busy up front on Friday and Saturday with all of the square dancers, but quiet in the campground area.  Convenient to Missoula (9 miles) and other attractions further south.  Weekly rate was lowered the daily cost to $28/night, the most reasonable price in the area.  Lolo Square dance Center and RV Campground

Fairmont RV Park, Anaconda, MT

Stay Date:  June 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD - 6
Fairmont RV Park1Well off the interstate, the park is average except in price. Check-in was by a disinterested office clerk, although her assistant was friendly and helpful. Fairmont RV Park2Gravel interior roads and sites, with a sewer hookup that was too far to the rear to use without an extension. Sites are above medium sized with grass and trees; however, there's room for a clear view of the TV satellites. Fairmont RV Park3Verizon cell/4G were strong, and the free WiFi was spotty. Next to a hot springs resort, but otherwise not much in the immediate area. Without a specific reason to spend time here, the overnight price is excessive and we'll look elsewhere when traveling through the area. Overpriced at $38/night.  Fairmont RV Park

Mountain Range RV Park, Columbus, MT

Stay Date:  Jun 2015
Our Rating:  GOOD – 8
Mountain Range1Close to the interstate with easy access but not much noise, the park is slightly terraced with long, mostly level pull-thru gravel sites. Mountain Range2Friendly office staff at check in. WiFi was typical campground erratic and there's no cable but some OTA TV. Some trees but not much Mountain Range3impedance to satellite TV. Verizon cell/4G were very good, and hookups worked well. A good overnight stop that we'll use again. A bit pricy at $37.50.  Mountain Range RV Park
