Spruce Park On The River
Reviewed Jul. 30, 2018

Fair park on the river.

We stayed at this park on July 22, 2018 for 3 days.

This park sits right on the river on the outskirts of Kalispell, MT.  Of the eight parks we stayed at during this trip, it was everyone's least favorite.   As we arrived after 5pm, the office was closed and we picked up our packet from the office door. There were 3 pages of rules and regulations on everything you can imagine from restrooms to hammocks.  There is free wifi but passwords are required for each device and it's very slow, even for simple tasks as email.

There are two types of sites, ones with full hookups (water/electric/sewer) and those they claim are full hookup with only water/electric. They charge the same price for either one.

The bathrooms require passcodes and only cleaned every other day. This is a problem with over 100 RVs with many more total people using them. The women's bathroom toilet/shower had a sewage issue and the bathroom was closed for over 12 hours.

Several of the large RVs have been in the park for months (I'm told they arrive in April and stay until fall). When they stay that long, the areas around the RVs tend to be cluttered with 'stuff'.

The store is large but has almost nothing. You're better off going 1.7miles down the road to the 24 hour market which is great. 

The river flowed right past our campsite but is not accessible due to the berm/embankment which is designed to keep the camp from flooding when water levels rise. The only close way to the water is about 1/4 mile towards the highway bridge where there is a boat launch.
