Opinion; Roads are newly paved, but sites can use some upgrades. Many permanent sites not well kept.  We stayed here because of a blown tire and It was the closest park  to our location along I 90. We needed some place till we could get a new tire, it happen to be 4th of July Eve. The park served our needed.

Comments; many fisherman stay here. The Clark Fork River is just across the road. Also  folks stay here to kayak and float the river.
    One night would we were sound asleep something shook our RV. At first we thought it was the wind. But no the RV was vibrating. It seemed like it lasted 3 or 4 minutes, but I guess it was only a minute or two. Holy mackerel it's a EARTHQUAKE.  What the heck, what next. Hannah barked a couple of times. Then we hear talking outside. I look out and see a small group of people outside wondering around with flashlight.  It wasn't a pretty sight seeing all those folks in sleep ware. But I joined them, I hope Improved the look. Everyone is discussing what just happened. After we all agreed it must have been a EARTHQUAKE back to bed. The next morning we saw on TV indeed we were right, it was a EARTHQUAKE about 70 miles from our location.
