Great Stay

Lubbock was one of the places I wanted to visit as we travel across the US. I found a few good reviews of the Lubbock RV Park and decided to stay here. We stayed in Lubbock for three days.

We arrived without reservations and they checked us in in only a few minutes. They gave us a nice spot in the back away from the highway. The spot had a large paved area where were able to setup our RV.

This RV park had water, sewer, and electric hookups. The nightly price was very good, and the WiFi was spotty. I was unimpressed by the laundry facility; they should upgrade their machines.

Although next to a busy highway, an airport, and a train line we slept very well during our stay. None of these produced enough noise to be a bother.

Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Absolutely.

Informational: We travel in a 36' Class A RV.

Awesome

This KOA is top notch. We had paid for a premium spot and were amazed by the amenities, the concrete slab patio, the wrought iron table and chairs, the beautiful view. In addition, the WiFi worked 90% of the time (mostly during the day, but evenings were hit and miss). Even the non-premium sites looked very nice.

The onsite facilities, such as the laundry mat, showers, bathrooms were some of the best I have seen. The mini golf course was fun and inexpensive. The pool was large, perfect for adults and kids. Our two girls enjoyed the very large playground, complete with a sunken boat.

The other huge plus was the activities, there was a ice cream party, pancake feed, music. It is rare to see so many activities in a campground, but this KOA seemed to really make the most of them.

The location of the KOA is not the best, it is a bit of a hike into town and there are no sidewalks along Highway 93. The KOA is very quiet though and it's placement allowed for evenings not to be overwhelmingly hot.

If we are in Polson, MT again we will definitely stay at the KOA without a second thought. It is highly recommended.

Excellent

We stayed the Missoula KOA just after Labor Day for a week. The neighborhood was relatively quiet (some train and airplane noise), the onsite store was fully stocked and not ludicrously priced. The activities, when open, look to be lots of fun. The park was very large so there were a wide variety of spaces throughout. The laundry room was large and clean.

Do not stay at the Missoula KOA if you are looking for natural beauty, the RV park is lined with mobile homes.

There are many kid activities at the campground, unfortunately some of them shutdown for the season the day after we arrived. The playground was a blast for our 2 & 4 year old.

The proximity to shops, such as Costco, Walmart, and Target was a huge bonus. There were a handful of restaurants, which were good dinner/lunch options.

I can recommend Missoula KOA for a few days or even a few weeks. We are returning to it in a few weeks ourselves.

The park was mediocre and in desperate need of maintenance and the spaces were very small. The grass next to our spot was dusty dirt. The playground had rusty screws exposed and was falling apart, the toys had all been well used. We have stayed in some rustic campgrounds, but they normally charge a rustic amount. Considering the condition of this campground compared to others, this place is 50% overpriced.

I would have a hard time recommending that anyone should stay here. If you are passing through Butte and need a place to park overnight, this place will serve that need but is overpriced for what they provide.

This is a pretty good RV Park to stay at when you're visiting Bozeman. It's not close to town, about 5 miles outside of town so make sure you have a vehicle to explore Bozeman in. You will hear some train noise at night and some Interstate traffic.

The spaces are tight but they are full hookup pull-through. There is a very cool pool with a very large slide. The playground could be better but the bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained.

The WiFi here is lacking, it never worked very well but this is something we have came to expect from RV campgrounds. The cost to stay here is very competitive which helps us overlook some of the minor flaws.

Will we come back? Yes. Would we recommend it? Yes.

We visited this RV Resort based on the fact they offer a discount to Passport America members, which we are. This was the first RV park we had visited that took the Passport America card and we were satisfied with the RV Park.

The spots are a bit dirty and the spots are smaller. The washroom is not incredibly clean nor dirty and the laundry room leaves some desire.

The one huge benefit was the WiFi, this park had a very reliable WiFi network. During our two-day stay, I never once reverted to our MiFi cards. The park itself is starting its winter lock down, so it was under 20% filled when we were there.

The location of the park on the lake was a bonus; the morning view was something I enjoyed each morning. The proximity to the highway was negative, large trucks would occasionally roll by and shake our RV even though we were a few rows in.

Would I recommend this park? Sure, it is a nice place to visit for a few days. Will we come back? Probably not, unless we were just passing through.

Excellent

At the end of September, we stayed at Lincoln Rock State Park for nine days. The space had full hookups, electricity, water, and sewer and had a beautiful view of the Columbia River. Our two closest neighbors were far enough away that we felt secluded in our spot.

The park has trails, playgrounds, docks and large green areas. This was ideal for our two children, two and four, to burn off energy every day. If the weather had been a little warmer, the two girls would have probably spent the majority outside running around.

The check-in process was simple, the only complaint I have is they only accept cash or check. Luckily, we had our checkbook and could pay for the nine days we were planning on staying.

Our neighbors were quiet and on a few occasions, celebrations would stop abruptly at 10:00 PM to respect quiet hours. The bathrooms are clean and there is onsite recycling.

If you were visiting Wenatchee, I would highly recommend staying here. This state park is better than more RV resorts we have stayed at (although, there is not amenities here).

This is not a glamorous RV park. The spaces are a bit cramped but it has full hookups. I stopped here for a few days on the way to Idaho and are happy I stayed here.

First off, the service is amazing. They held packages for us, large boxes, and on our second day hand delivered a letter to us. This kind of service is what makes this park great. The night we arrived, there was a terrible windstorm and the next morning there were two people out picking up branches. In the afternoon, the park looked cleaned up.

The WiFi did not work well, even after we paid $2 per day but this is something I am not surprised by as I need reliable WiFi for my job. The bathrooms were super clean and the laundromat was basic, clean, and the machines operated well. While using the laundromat one of the washing machines broke, the office sent someone over right away to fix it.

Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Will we come back? I will not drive out of our way to come here, but if we are passing through this will be a preferred stopping place for us.

We recently stayed here for three days and enjoyed the RV park overall. The space we had was very spacious; our Toad was parked alongside our RV. The WiFi worked great and our full hookups served our RV needs our entire stay.

The bathroom/shower room was clean and the laundry machines looked new, although we did not use them. The RV park was quiet at night and convenient to the sights and conveniences of Boise.

We were disappointed to find the playground was removed and the all-gravel spot was a downside, as our kids did not have greenery to play in nearby.

Would I recommend this park? Yes. Will we come back? If we were passing through this would be a preferred stopping place for us.

Due to a change in our travel plans, we ended up driving along I-80 and stopped in Wendover for the night. We only stayed overnight and I am not sure I would have wanted to stay longer.

The RV park was very empty during our stay, only six other RVs were onsite that night. The space we stay at was quiet, not near other RVs, and offered full hookups. The WiFi did not function well.

Wendover is a dusty, rocky, desert place and this campground is not hiding this. There was no grass anywhere and the gravel throughout the campground did not throw much dust around.

The playground was excellent; our kids play in it for a long time. The pool was closed for the winter and the store looked sparse.

I would have giving our stay three stars, but this is the second most expensive RV park I have ever stayed. Our stay should have been $30-35 per night, but we paid $48! The resort that I paid more for had many more amenities. I could not help feel we were being charged higher because they were the only campground for *miles*.

Would I recommend this park? No. Will we come back? If we need a pit stop along I-80.
