Crystal Gold Mine & RV Park

Pros are that it was clean, owners seemed nice, and the gold mine had a lot of visitors and looked fun. Cons are the noise is very loud from the interstate, no wifi (cell service was unusable), and the sites are half level. They had 40ft sites that they said were pull-through, but they are about 20ft asphalt then a couple inch drop to a sloped ~20ft of gravel. It'd be nice if you have a 20-25ft. trailer and you plan on unhooking and parking your tow vehicle behind it, but if you're longer or don't want to disconnect then you basically have to sleep uphill. So we left for a much easier free option nearby.

This is the cutest little campground. They have really informative tours of the gold mine and gold panning both on site. The gift shop has a nice variety and good prices. The pull through sites are plenty big and it’s kept clean. It’s close to I-90, but close to many local things to do and see in the area as well. The owners are super nice too.

This was a nice little campground beside a gold mine, in an ideal location for sightseeing in the area. The mine owners were very friendly and the campground spotlessly clean. Half the sites were occupied by permanent residents, but their trailers were all recent models and in excellent shape. The only problem was the noise from I-90 right outside, which was constant and intrusive. The sites for recreational campers were furthest from the road, and mostly pull-through.

From here, I visited the adjacent gold mine (Crystal Gold Mine), the Old Mission, the Sierra Silver Mine, Northern Pacific Depot Museum and the Center of the Universe, and rode the Silver Mountain gondola.

Verizon 4G was 3 bars, -105 dB, 3 Mbps down and 0.5 up.
