Cheap, east spot to pull in over night. Full hook ups with good wifi. Poor signs and I wouldn’t have known to check in at the hotel if it wasn’t for the reviews. You do NOT get the hotel amenities. Which I thought you did based on the reviews. You get access to breakfast (for a fee obviously. $10 nothing crazy) our neighbor is pretty sketch.

This place may be very convenient if you can find the correct street to get into it. The lots are good for the stop you need to stay. But the shower and toilet facilities are VERY dirty. No toilet paper in two of the stall and only one had a small amount , take your own. It looks like know one has cleaned in a very long time. I informed the staff at the Best Western and hopefully someone will be cleaning it ASAP. I gave it two stars for the staff and the spot but otherwise it’s in need of love.

This small RV park is located directly behind the Best Western, with check in done in the hotel lobby. There are back in and pull through sites on gravel pads all with full hook ups and are slightly larger than normal. Excellent Wifi. The bathhouse/laundry is modern and clean. This is a great location for people transiting to and from Canada and Glacier NP.

I don't think they care anymore. Weeds are taking over. Sites are not level do to lack of grading. Maybe they don't have a groundskeeper anymore. And the wind and road noise. Only thing that was good was the price. $20. Well and the electricity was good. They charge $8 for breakfast.

Nice, quiet, small campground. Good place to park camper for a day trip to Glacier NP about 90 miles away. Enjoyed watching trains across Hwy. 2.
