Anglers Roost was a great place for exploring the Bitterroot Valley. The park is in need of some upgrade and general repair work. When you pull into the upper section it is difficult not to notice the permanant residents working on old trucks. The lower campground was pleasant and has great access to the river. The park was clean and the price was fair. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The pull through sites have you pull onto grass and supposedly you will drive down and around and out when you leave. Unfortunately, the owner is always watering the grass so there is no way a heavy coach could drive on that and get out. The owner was also going around trying to convenience people not to run their air conditioners (90+ heat) because there was some seed whisps blowing from the cottonwood trees that he said would "clog" the air conditioners. We ran ours and no problems. Also, the number of 50 amp sites were limited. It was convenient to the area we were visiting, but the cost was not reflective of the limited services provided. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Black Rabbit RV Park does have rabbits as residents but in the two days we were here, we saw a total of eight rabbits. Rabbit droppings were not a problem. I asked a couple of the residents about the rabbit population and was told the foxes and coyotes have reduced the population from what it was a couple of years ago. The park was clean and the sites were essentially gravel and 20 to 25 feet wide. There is a nice park-like grass area on the grounds with large shade trees. The picnic table at my site was in sore need of paint. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would stay here for a day or two if I wanted to see the area. The internet worked well, water was good and cable TV worked well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Didn't much like this campground at all. One side of the campground seemed to be for seasonal campers, and some looked like they had been there quite awhile. The other side had fewer trees and was laid out so that the front of your camper faced the river. The sites were grass and gravel and could have used more gravel, especially after rain. We were very close to our neighbors, only a few feet between their slides and ours. There are rabbits everywhere and rabbit poo everywhere-all around our site. After the rain, even handling our water hose created a mess from the poo, not to mention what walking through it did. The bathrooms and laundry room were cleaned ok, there was a nice grassy area by the river with picnic tables, and the cable tv and wifi were excellent. We stayed here in a 5th wheel and I would not stay here again, mainly because of the closeness of the sites and the rabbits. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not impressed with this park at all. Arrived just after 2 days of rain. Rabbits were everywhere and so was their poop. Nothing like wet rabbit poop sticking to the bottoms of your shoes!! Luckily this was just an overnight stop for us. Needed to do some grocery shopping, and Hamilton has a number of super markets. Wi-FI signal was too weak at our site, but my Aircard and cell phone had a good signal. Satellite for the TV was no problem (they offer cable TV), nice strong signal, no tree interference. The water pressure was good, no problems with the electricity or sewer. Site was level but needed a lot more gravel so you wouldn’t be walking in mud. They have laundry facilities that’s open 24/7 which is nice but we didn’t check them out. It looks like the river is close to the pull through sites (pretty grassy area with lots of trees), but I didn’t feel like trudging through the poop to look at it. This park could be very nice if they cleaned it up and found homes for the multitude of rabbits!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Note the review from 2005--Ditto--overrated in Trailer Life. Restrooms/showers functionally clean but have obvious "deferred maintenance". Namestake rabbits are all over park so watch where you walk and where you put stuff on ground. WiFi above average. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is not as advertised and rating in Trailer Life is far to generous. Mostly occupied by people living there in derelict units. Mostly gravel and very close together. Would NOT go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
