We stayed here for our side-by-side ride with our family. It had a great location in Mackay Idaho. The room was quant but very comfortable. There was maid service every day, although we didn't need it. They were friendly, quiet and dog friendly.

The place has a very nice mountain view with a very hospitable and welcoming host! They arranged beddings for me when they heard I was coming from afar. When I accidentally arrived very late on the first day, I had to call the host because I couldn't see anything in the dark and couldn't find my cabin, but the host was kind enough to answer the phone and give me directions. Also, when I forgot to buy paper plates for my hotdogs for breakfast, they suggested getting me some paper plates and also ketchups to boot! The hosts were also very nice when I had to check out very early in the morning (I was pretty busy the entire trip) and had to leave thing as is like the trash can and the keys. You occasionally get to talk to people in other RVs, which is also a nice experience. The showers and toilets are clean for a public bathroom. Lots of animals to see if you're an animal lover. Overall, a very good place with wonderful hosts, will definitely visit this place for Arco :) Thank you!

Great little RV park in beautiful country. We stopped here on way to Teton. The owners recently told over this property and you can tell they are working hard to continue to improve it! Full hookups with access to laundry & restroom with a shower. Worked out great for us!

We loved it here! It also sits right between Arco and Mackay, if you need groceries,etc. The camp host was so friendly, we decided to stay a 3rd night. Wifi worked great and the laundry room along with the bathrooms were very clean. They even have a small convenience store in their office. Ice, snacks, apparel, etc. We will definitely be back!

We loved it at Moose Crossing. Tons of trails to explore right from the campsite. This is just what we were looking for…power, sewer and water hookup but rustic and out in the country. Best of both worlds. Kris was awesome! He was extremely friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good and we were happy. Easy to find since he was working non stop all over the property. He even suggested a better location once we got here and I’m so glad he did! We will come again!!
