Convenient for 1-3 night stay

It's a quaint little campground that has been around for 60 years. It's just down the street from President Dwight D Eisenhower presidential museum and library. The entrance is marked with a square blue sign I found difficult to read when approaching the campground. Our site was very level with about 15-18 foot swath of grass on either side.

If you get the chance visit the early 1900's wooden Carousel and old Abilene historic buildings. Check out the The Abilene and Smoky Valley Railroad heritage railway. Ride the Flint Hills Express on track built by the Rock Island Railroad in 1886! M&R Grill had good food, reasonable prices, and generous portions. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Value for FHU

It's a large grassy field without any shade. Our site was somewhat level. Sites are nearby. Since the park was basically empty, the camphosts spread us out so we were not too close to the next rig. Utilities pedestals are well set up and placed. Price was $30 for FHU site.

We chose this facility for its proximity to Leavenworth and Wenatchee. We camped at Chelan County Expo Center in a Motorhome.

Good base camp for doing Outdoors Activities

I wanted to fish for a few days without having to drive to somewhere else to fish. We chose Squaw Rock for its amenities and its river access. Our rating is based on how well it met our desires. We felt Squaw Rocks location was good for making day trips. We'd stay here again. This is a mixture of cabins and RV sites. The cabins are nice and nicely laid out on the property. The RV sites back in onto the Naches River, unless you decide to drive into the site and face the river like we did. We ran our water and electricity under the coach to the service point. Our site was very close to level. The sites are very close together and you share the site utilities. It can get tight. Not all sites have sewer hookups. The common grounds are well-kept. The pool was clean and checked/serviced each day. The staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. We found others staying here easy to meet and/or chat with. Know what you are getting! Single utility service serves two sites. The water spigot has a Y splitter to share a single water connection.- Power has one 30 Amp and one 50 Amp socket. The first rig arriving gets to choose which one they want to use.- There is NO Park RV Dump station. You're in a valley with NO cell service. Wi-Fi in the park is non-existent. There's a weak signal near the office. We camped at Squaw Rock Resort in a Motorhome.

Campground from the 1990s

Very quiet at night. Trees throughout the campground. The bathroom was conveniently located and clean. Roads are a touch narrow in places. The 1-to-40 sites campground is laid out in a loop. The turn at the end is very tight for 35-foot motor home towing. Our site#10 dropped 13 inches between the rear and front axle. A few Lego blocks and jack pads addressed the problem. The campground is on a small hill. Few of the sites are level. Most have at least one slope of varying degrees. Double T Meats in Eatonville is worth a visit. We camped at Alder Lake Park in a Motorhome.

Well laid out RV Park

Lots of blackberry bushes near most sites. Our site was a level back-in on asphalt. Full hook up available. Partly shaded. McKenzie river runs behind park a few hundred yards. Supposedly good fishing. Park staff and host friendly and helpful.

Older RV Park has very basic amenities.

Oregon Hwy 6 runs alongside the RV Park. It is a major source of road noise during the day and late night. The RV Park is a moderately maintained facility. The laundry and bathroom are rustic, basic, functional, and clean. Our site backed up to the river. The site was close to level. Power stable. Recommend Power surge protector/ monitor. The sewer worked well. The water pressure was a little low. Sites were close together. Each individual site was about 20 feet wide.

Level and shaded

Stayed here in a 35-foot motor home. Sites close together. Each site has a picnic table. Our site was a back-in site. Lots of maneuvering room. Park met our basic needs for utilities and services. Cats loved the grassy area.

Second time staying here

Easy off and on US Route 20. Easy to maneuver on the property, into and out of the sites. Sites are spacious. Yet close together. Baby trees will provide shade one day. Property is on a hill. View of the valley, and there's a nice breeze when the wind blows.

Would stay here again.

Easy pull-through, good size, level, clean, good water pressure, and electric. There are young trees between each site. It will be a couple more years and some pruning before they can provide a reasonable amount of shade. Park is up on a hill with a great view, close to the highway, but quiet. The camp host was friendly. Hope they reopen their restaurant someday. Plenty of places to eat in town. The town has all the amenities one may need.

Mature trees. Lots of shade

There are new owners for 2023 season. They are working on improving the park's services and amenities. The park has mature trees providing ample shade throughout the day. Most sites have a concrete patio and grassy area. The photos on their website provide an accurate description of the Motel and park. We were on the Main Street side of the RV park. There is a wee bit of road noise during the day. It is quiet at night. There are a number of sites occupied by folks staying for the summer. Made reservations for the week of 4th July. Everyone working at the RV Park was very friendly and helpful. The camp host and Maintenance person, Steve was especially helpful. We pulled into RV Park and discovered the coach had developed a short that tripped the power pedestal breaker. Steve played a major role in locating and helping me fix the shorted wire run. Our stay would have been ruined without his help. Next time I stay in the area, this will be my first choice of places to stay. We camped at Alpine Lodge and RV in a Motorhome.

Wifi is available. Verizon was 2-3 bars on phone.

Simple place to park

Hi-Lo Motel has been in business since 1951. It consists of a Motel, Cafe, and a 16-space RV parking with 30 AMP, water, and sewer utilities. The RV area is behind the Motel just off the motel parking lot. Behind the RV parking is a grassy area with a babbling little creek. There are a few picnic tables scattered throughout the grassy area. 

We were able to easily enter the Motel entrance and drive down the hill to the RV parking with our 35-foot motorhome towing our driving vehicle. See photos for details.

The Cafe primarily offers comfort food. We liked the dishes we tried. 

Ellie's Expresso and Bakery across the street is worth visiting. They have fresh daily baked bread and pastries. I liked everything I tried. 

Mt Shasta Brewing Company is also worth the visit if you are seeking an adult Microbrew.

Beautiful Lodge Pine Forest

This is a dry camping campground. Inspite of what this app indicates, there are NO electric, water, or sewer hookups. There are water spigots scattered around the campground. None of them have a hose fitting. You'll need a water thief or water containers if you want to fill your RV tank.

Chose this campground for its proximity to Crater Lake Nat. Park. Lots of lake and river fishing nearby. This is a clean and well maintained campground. Sites are spacious. The bathrooms near us was clean and had flush toilets. There are shower facilities available. Interior roads were easy to navigate. June & July the mosquitos are horrable and the weather unpredictable. We had a hail storm lay down about 2 inches os blueberry size hail stones that were still on the ground the next morning. August & September Wasps can be a pain.

First to Review
Very Simple and Basic

The campground is in a field behind the restaurant. We paid $35.00 for 30amp power, water, and sewer. Each utility pylon supports two RVs electric, water, and sewer connection. There are no other amenities. Excellent for an overnight stop. Some road noise, but not bad.

Very acceptable campground.

Fairly nice campground. Friendly supportive staff. Place to come to fish and do other things. New management working to update and freshen the property and facilities. Been here 3 weeks. Would stay again.
