1-star Review for Spruce Park on the River, Kalispell, MT and here is why:…read more I booked this RV park based on the photos and Google reviews, thinking it would be a great spot right on the river while I was driving 2-days from another state. I had no idea what to expect, so I trusted the online reputation. Unfortunately, this experience was incredibly disappointing and frustrating from the moment I arrived. I made my reservation early in the day and spoke to someone on the phone who told me I could stop by the office when I got there to finalize check-in and get my welcome packet. At no point did anyone mention that absolutely no check-in is allowed after 9 PM. I also received an email and completed mobile check-in, which made it even more confusing -- I had my site number and everything paid for, so I assumed I was good to go. I arrived just after 9 PM. The office hours on the door said they were open until 9, and the email clearly stated that packets for late arrivals would be left outside. There was no packet. I called the "24-hour number," and the woman who answered was shockingly rude. She told me, bluntly, "We don't allow check-ins after 9," and when I explained that no one had told me this and I'd already paid, she basically said, "I don't know what to tell you," refused to help, and hung up on me. I had just driven two long days, and all I wanted was the shower code -- which she also refused to give me. To make things worse, the site I booked (in the G lot) was impossible to get into with my fifth wheel. So even if I had been allowed to check in, I couldn't have parked there anyway. Overall, I spent $140 on a spot I couldn't access, got no help from staff, and was treated incredibly rudely. If you're planning to stay here, make sure you understand every single rule ahead of time -- because if there's any issue, don't expect kindness or support from the staff. I would not recommend this place and will not be returning.

The most beautiful and peaceful rv park in the Flathead valley!! River views are so great! We…read morestayed here for 5 months and absolutely loved it. Later in the season, we enjoyed playing in and on the gorgeous river flowing alongside the campground. The grass and grounds are very well kept, and the staff are attentive and kind. It feels like a family! Bathrooms are immaculate with cute touches like live flowers and baskets with toiletries. Huge park area for kids to play and dogs to run around in. Nice new playground. Fun cornhole and outside checkers and horseshoes. Overall, one of our favorite places to camp. And don't forget about the hot air balloons that frequently take off right from the park around sunset- what a unique and unforgettable experience!!

This park seemed to come highly regarded/reviewe. We had high hopes and upon arrival, liked what we…read moresaw. Its a bit out of the way in Kalispell between farms, with narrow/tricky streets to contend with. It was a good 15-20 minutes from most of what Kalispell has to offer (Walmart/Shopping/Etc...) and about 35-40 minutes from the entrance to West Glacier. Pro's: 1) One of the cheapest options in Kalispell. 2) Good amount of kids for our boys to play with. 3) Quiet in the back where our site was located. 4) You can wash your RV & Truck!!! Rare these days 5) TMobile was fast enough we didn't need to get out the Starlink. Neutral: 1) Staff was cordial, but I wouldn't say friendly. Had mail sent here (we asked prior and was given the ok). When we went to pick it up, the lady at the front desk told us she was lucky she didn't throw it out as they normally don't accept mail. Packages (Amazon, etc....) are fine but I guess standard mail isn't? 2) Playground is *meh*. Metal slide, so avoid on hot days. Boys mostly played around the swimming pond. Con's: 1) Our particular site was quite muddy, as it rained quite a bit. Others didn't seem as bad. They need to add more gravel to the rear, larger sites. 2) The park has "Seasonal" sites to the side, and double wide trailers (permanent I assume), along with storage facilities and finally the RV park with some cabins built on site. The seasonal area was *rough*. Most of the campers were old & dilapidated with trash and random stuff strewn around. The double wides area were a bit better. Both brought down the feel of this RV park. 3) Trash can's at the rear were overflowing and piling up outside and around. 4) Tree placement on the pull throughs was not ideal. Instead of being able to pull through and go with the flow of traffic, we had to kindly ask our neighbor if they could move their truck so we could pull out and go against the grain so we didn't scrape up the side & roof of our rig. Overall, we wouldn't stay here again. We'd stay closer to Glacier, down in Polson, or somewhere up near Whitefish. We camped at Rocky Mountain Hi RV Park & Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

We were told That we had to pay 75%cancellation fee. I was shocked. A fire is a natural disaster not just inclement weather. I tried to go to management but no one would respond to me. We lost $337.00 which was the 75% cancellation fee. Our refund was $114. 00 Out of the original payment of $461.00. I feel violated by this campground. We had to completely change our travel itinerary due to the fires. However, everyone else was so accommodating and understanding to these changes EXCEPT Whispering Pines RV Park. This experience certainly put a damper on our travel plans.

It made a great "hub" for everything to do in the area and around the lake. It is convenient to Glacier National and does not have all the busyness and congestion of West Glacier.

Nice sites. Plenty of room and views are great. Would stay again if traveling to Kalispell again.read more

I stayed at Montana BaseCamp for about a month while working remotely, and unfortunately I would…read morenot stay here again. The biggest issue was the internet. The campground advertises high-speed Wi-Fi, but it was essentially unusable at my site. Because I work remotely, I had to rely entirely on my own Starlink connection. If dependable internet is important to you, I would not count on the campground's Wi-Fi. The shared facilities were another major disappointment. There is only one shared bathroom/shower combination and two washers and two dryers serving a very large campground. The bathroom was frequently dirty or not fully stocked. It wasn't uncommon to find wet toilet paper on the floor, hair throughout the bathroom, or to have to wait because someone was using the shower. For the prices being charged, I expected the facilities to be cleaned and maintained much more frequently. I also found the owner to be rude and unnecessarily critical during my stay, which made the experience less welcoming. Additionally, there is no camp store or convenience shop on site for basic supplies. The location is convenient for exploring the Flathead Valley, and the full-hookup sites are a plus. However, between the unreliable Wi-Fi, limited and poorly maintained facilities, and the customer service I experienced, I don't feel the campground offers good value for the rates charged, especially during peak holiday periods.

What we didn't know was that there would be tractors going through the place all day long. Not peaceful at all. To be fair, they did issue a bit of a refund for the inconvenience after we got here but if I had know about the "construction" we wouldn't have stayed here. Having said that, the person running the place, Denise, is super nice and helpful. But, no store, no ice, no fires aloud, no conveniences like we usually find at an RV park. All this for $89 a night!!! Minus $10/day refund
