Stayed here for one night just passing through and had the worst night's sleep. Trains and traffic were a real problem. Rest rooms were clean. It was about 32 degrees and water was turned off by park and not back on when we were ready to leave at 8:00 AM, which was inconvenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed one night and would stay again. Was easy to access from the freeway and easy maneuvering inside the park. There's lots of grass for dog walking. Spaces were level gravel with tables. Alot of freeway noise when outside, but we didn't notice it inside our RV. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Another overnight stop for us. Price above reflects our Good Sam discount. This park delivers on all it advertises however there is excessive noise from the nearby and very busy railroad tracks. There is also a dim roar from the nearby freeway but the trains drowned it out. The interior roads were gravel as were the pads. The public areas and shower/restrooms were clean and had coded exterior locks which we liked. Doubtful if we'd ever return due to noise. The owner and her Dad (2nd and 3rd generation owner/operators) were very nice to deal with. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a good overnight park. The man that checked us in was nice,but not overly friendly. We were put in the front of the park,which was OK,gravel sites with picnic table. Wi-Fi was free and good. My husband said the restroom was clean. We did hear train and car traffic, but didn't bother us. We would stay here again and have stayed here in the past. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, small and quiet. They do have dirt roads and parking pads, however there is no dust and the sites are level. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Woodalls got this one wrong. They rated this park a four for facilities. I was shocked to see the conditions of the restrooms. One toilet was unusable because it was so dirty. I also chose to wait on the shower. The park is VERY small and there was no place to walk our dogs. We were camped in back where a train when by every hour. I was very disappointed with the quality of this park. The only saving grace to this park is the river walk about 1/2 mile from the campground. If you can stand walking 1/2 mile on a major road getting hoots and hollers from the locals, the walk is nice. The campground advertises Wi-Fi, but it does not work at the sites. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was good for a one niter, but the staff was abrupt. OK, we were just passing through. Would look for another spot to try out on the way to Yellowstone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
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.
