Phillips RV Park has easy access on and off of I-80. The host was not very happy to see us arrive at 7pm. We felt like we were putting her out. We were assigned a site with no water and no cable available. She tried to charge us for a full hook up with all of the amenities. Traffic noise was very high all night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is OK but watch out for the extra charges. If you want 50 amp - $, if you are going to use your AC - $, and so on. They did have great WiFi but I was in the site closest to the hot spot. Trains and highway were very loud most of the night. I don't think I will be back at this one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Clean park, good for an overnight. Constant train and truck noise. Park host/owner was not very happy to check us in and take our money. Good Verizon cell and aircard service, Walmart and a good Mexican restaurant nearby. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good place to stop for the night. Good interior roads and nice size sites. Office staff was very nice and helpful. We were not able to explore the park much as it started pouring down rain when we arrived. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an extremely well-maintained park with pleasant staff, gravel roads, and a majority of tree-shaded sites. The tree-shaded sites are broad, but those with taller motorhomes and fifth-wheels should be cautious about limb clearances overhead. Park signs warn of high water pressure and recommend using a water pressure regulator. We paid the Good Sam rate, which included $2 in taxes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I not sure why this place gets the bad reviews from people. I found the owner friendly and helpful. Nice park for a stopover for a day or so. Just installed wi-fi which was the best I had my whole trip. Cable tv was also top notch.Will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is over rated. We pulled into the office area and there was a note on the door telling you which sites have water, which have sewer, etc. There was no one in the office. We drove through the park and decided not to stay here. It was really noisy from the freeway that was above it and the busy street in front of it. The park looked like it needed lots of TLC!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Best advice would be to "Keep on Driving"! Arrogant Owner/Host, poorly maintained sites, next door to the train tracks. Very noisy. Next time through Evanston I will stay at a highway rest stop before I pay to stay here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground. When we checked in the staff was friendly & helpful. On the second night we checked with the office about a late checkout the next day. The lady in the office said that was ok but there might be an additional $2.00 charge. No problem. Checkout time was 11:00am. At 11:30am another woman came by our site & said we had to leave by noon. She charged us $2.00 in cash for each rig. (We had two.) She was quite rude. In talking to another camper I found that the charge was $2.00 per hour! We will never stay there again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found this park to be an excellent choice for an overnight stop or perhaps longer. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had one of the last sites available and was a little tight but we managed to get in OK. The staff offered to help if needed. The park is located next to a busy street but the road noise was not a problem. Gravel roads and pads but the pads were level with grass between the pads. Overall a very enjoyable experiance We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park with grass and shade. Good sized sites. Lady in the office was kind of a sour
puss, but other than that it was a nice place for an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park. Trailer Life rating is too low. Nice people run park. Clean. Enjoyed internet lounge. Stayed 1 week to make connections with another party. Rode our bikes. Traveled 2 months on east coast and this sure beat what we had there. We camped here in a camper.
