Hitchin' Post RV Park & Motel — Hotel in North Las Vegas

I need to give this place extra stars. Is there a cheat code to add double the stars?

I left a different park in September of 2022, before the month I'd paid to stay had expired, due to that park being basically an overcrowded parking lot with creepers that would follow ladies into the laundry room and try to hit on us until things approached scary (it wasn't just me, and it wasn't just once). I'd previously stayed at a KOA that was decent, and a fancier RV "Resort" that was bougie in the front and average in the back. The fancy Resort only rented daily during the fall and winter (although they were quite reasonable in the "human-bacon" heat of the summer, which would've more than quadrupled the cost. So I searched Good Sam and found TheHithchin' Post. No online booking, which concerned me a little, mainly because I don't like people-ing. No confirmation number or deposit required to book by phone...also off-putting, but the lady I spoke to said that I was on the roster & my spot would be held for me.

I know, you're probably wondering if this is really going to be a positive review with the way it's starting...this next part won't clear the confusion, but stay with me for the whole ride...

The place has an older neon "MOTEL" sign, a dark brown wood (windowless) saloon, and original single floor motel, as well as an attached mobile home park and trailer supply/sales/service store next door. The appearance is very vintage, and for some reason the combination of the neon sign & early 20th century vintage vibe gave me a certain Bates Motel/diabolical clown ambiance. I seriously wondered if I hadn't just jumped from the fying pan into the crematorium.

Joke was 100% on me. The office folks could not be more helpful, informative and neighborly. I'm not sure it's even possible. Mike's like that one cousin who always had a laugh ready & would help you fix your bike as a kid, Leslie & JJ are like your two gal-pals that may not always like everyone, but nobody else could say anything bad about people in their park, because residents are part of "our neighborhood" upon arrival.

But I didn't know all of that when I arrived, and I'd booked for the full month of September, still wary from the laundry-creeper-park.

NOTE: bring PAPER copies of BOTH your vehicle/RV registration AND insurance. I misunderstood & only had one in paper form, but fortunately had a printer in my RV because I lived and worked remotely from the rig. They need both in paper form, it's the rules, and the staff didn't make them but also have to follow them.

Yeah...wait...a cool office group does not an awesome park make, right? If that was the only perk, I wouldn't be writing this review.

So, they directed me to turn the RV around (they have multiple RV-friendly enty/exit points to do so), gave me my gate-open remote & access key card for the pedestrian gate, workout room & locker room, and lots of other move in little extras (the map included a free drink coupon at the saloon/steakhouse), and I was on my way down an evergreen-tree hedge road to a surprisingly hidden gated park. I didn't even notice it was the entry upon arrival, because the hedges also divided the trailer parts store on one side, and the hotel on the other, with dumpsters subtly tucked in & a gate at the end that led to a what appeared to be a nondescript office or apartment. The park itself is hidden in plain sight.

The spaces are HUGE by city standards. I fit rental cars in my space with the RV with plenty of room to open the doors all the way - when the slide was out. It's all pebble-gravel, so leveling was a breeze, and the hookups were logically located and very easy to access & use. My space had both 30 & 50 amps, great water pressure, and free cable. The park has at least 4 WiFi channels, with very good signal strength & speed (critical to those of us working remotely), and salt water filtration pool, and hands down the best laundry room of any park I've been to in my 3 years living on the road. I ended up staying much longer than planned, it's...

I relied on all the good reviews to pick this place in North Las Vegas as it was the closest to my Dad's house in North Las Vegas. I want to know who all these happy people were that stayed here before me! From the first contact, things could have went a lot better on their end. We had to make an an emergency trip during COVID19 in May so we did our check in through a window. The guy that checked us in was far from pleasant. commenting that the reservation specified only one night. I had requested two nights when making the initial reservation and was told by the reservation agent on the phone that I didn't have to guarantee my reservation at the time of booking (which in itself was a bit strange as I knew I would be arriving after 5pm). The front desk person gave us the incorrect directions on pulling in to our space. I couldn't find the space number from the map... then some girl drove up in a car and yelled at me telling me I was WRONG and WHY DID I PULL IN THAT WAY? I had no idea if she was even a member of staff from her appearance. I showed her my map with the hand drawn directions given to me by the check in guy - she then took my pen and corrected it and told me that he was new. Well that was a real reason to yell at ME wasn't it? She told me that I could have popped my tires on their traffic spikes (one of them located right near the site which check in guy NEVER INFORMED ME OF prior to handing me the incorrectly marked site map. For the life of me, I don't understand why they would have traffic spikes positioned NO WHERE NEAR their SECURITY entrance and exit gates! Are they that afraid someone's gonna break in and steal a free night? (Who would?) The park is really in a bad part of town, thank God for the security features. I now know why they have them. We spent two nights there, did not use any of their amenities, so I can't comment on anything else. Upon driving in BOTH NIGHTS - the police were outside the gates arresting people. I...

I stayed there long term from September 2020 to August 2021 in my RV. I had so much fun there! It's great place to live while working on a temporary job site, then come home to eat at this great restaurant on site! During that time they had a great cook, not sure if he still works there or not. Also during my stay, I got to witness them lifting the plastic protection devices from the bar tables.

At the time of my stay they had 3 working showers, which was great, because sometimes you just want to shower somewhere you can stretch your arms unlike the RV showers.

The laundry area was really nice as I didn't have to go off site to find a laundry mat. The convenience of a laundry mat on any RV site is definitely a plus!

During my stay they had mail boxes inside the RV area, but the area got locked at night. You can however get your packages from the office, if you forget you have packages, they put a sticker on your RV to let you know you have mail in the office.

If you like to walk, there's plenty of room in that park that you can walk around the whole park safely.

I really enjoyed the music box they had in the restaurant. I've forgotten if it was TouchTunes or some other bar jukebox. I played it allot using my phone to buy bonus coins. If there's a important game on TV, be prepared for the jukebox to be paused for the games.

During my stay it was gated and they had security cameras. They give you a card and remote that you need to keep up with. The gate and cameras add to the safety of the area.

If I ever have another job out there again, I will definitely try to go back here if they are not full!

The Christmas party was the best during my stay! I had a blast!

Yeah, so it's been years since I decided to review, but you can see how much I remembered! It's a place I'll never forget!

All the staff and regulars I'll remember forever!

Highly...
