By The Way Campground — Hotel in Kellogg

I would be happy to update this review please read on. The prices are reasonable and Dave the manager is running a tight ship. Everything is clean and for tent campers (us) the included shower was a huge plus. The poor rating comes from the what are apparently permanent residents of the small park. Setting the scene. 15 or so RV sites in a horseshoe with a gazebo in the middle surrounded by grass that the half dozen tent sites share. Small, but reasonable. Now add the couple with the old RV with the American flag and enough personal possessions outside their camper to let you know they have been there a while. Bit of a red flag, as we are moving into trailer park territory, not campground. Red flag is earned as the evening progresses. This couple moves strongly into cocktail hour with their music blaring across the small park as the rest of the campground settles into going to bed. Their friends show up toting another bottle of booze. Top off the evening with a bout of screaming over their predictable domestic dispute complete with slamming doors and plenty of yelling. The solution is pretty simple, give Dave the ability to put up that 14 day limit that most public parks have and keep it a travelers way point. The low price point is attracting the wrong crowd. Or just give Dave the power to send the undesirables packing. I just wanted a peaceful night to move onto next activity. Didn't get it and wouldn't go back. Sorry Dave, not really on you, but those folks and people like them got to be asked to leave. Edit: owner is aware of issues presented in this review and cares enough to respond. Plus one star.

The owners/managers are so very hospitable. Pleasant to deal w on phone during booking and very nice in person. For a camping experience, the bathrooms were exceptional! Privacy, hot showers, flushing toilets, mirrors... this is why I’m giving it stars at all.||The tent camping area is very, very small. We had guests flanking both sides of us (4/6 of the campsites were being used for the night) and it felt cramped. The grounds are adjacent to the freeway on-ramp separated by a chain link fence. To say the interstate’s traffic noise was loud is an understatement; I’m not sure if the reviewer who left “noise is not a problem” slept inside an RV or was deaf, but noise was definitely a problem for us! We all slept with earplugs in and I was only able to get about 3 hours of shuteye. ||Maybe the area is fine for RVing, but we will not be returning. Also, we ran over a nail in their parking lot and were stuck there until the next morning when we could get to a tire shop; we may have just driven home for the...
