Baker City Motel & RV Center

The staff and people living there was very friendly and kind. Unfortanly that was the only good thing about this place. It was like camping on someones run down back yard. It had a smell of sour urine and you had to watch your step so that you didn’t step in dog poop. The restrooms were run down and were inhabited by earwiggs. The campground is located very close to the train tracks so if you’re a light sleeping bring earplugs since the trains went by through the night. We’ve stayed at campgrounds in national parks less expansive than this. $47/night is about four times too much. It we payed $10 we wouldn’t expect more but the price was ruthless in comparison to what we got.

The Baker City Motel has turned its back parking lot into an RV park that appears to be largely composed of long-term residents. It is charmless with trailers and campers wedged closely together on what was a muddy surface on the night I stayed there. That said, the park delivers on its promises with good electrical connections and robust wifi. The bathroom which includes a shower was clean and spacious. Though segregated by gender, on the morning I waited outside the ladies' room for the occupant to vacate, it was a man who exited leaving the smell of cigarette smoke behind. If you're tired and looking for a place to park and sleep, maybe catch up on some emails, this is a suitable choice, close to the city center. But you won't want to stick around for the atmosphere. Oh, and at $35 a night, I found it a bit pricey.

This is a quiet motel that has a nice grassy lawn for a night to pitch a tent. Clean bathrooms and showers. Coffee was offered in the morning. All for a $10 fee. RV resident welcomed us with a couple adult beverages. Train across road but not bad. I’d stay again.
