Havre RV Park

TravellingMan pretty much said it all, and his review was in 2021, so this 8/18/2022 is up to date.
After the long lonely sort of trip from West Glacier, and about 4 hours, this seems like an oasis.

The owners are rebuilding the solid fence between Hwy 2 and the park. That should quiet things down some, but at least for now, we aren’t bothered by the highway noise. On the other side is a large RR yard, switching yard etc, but so far in two hours, pretty quiet.

With tax, we paid $58 for our site, good for our 49’ total length.

While there are other options for overnight camping, it seems almost all roads off Hwy 2 are dusty gravel ones…and I don’t like to get all dusty!

06/27/21 - 1 Night Stay - $48.60 - Call or go on-line for reservations.

Use the East entrance of the Conoco station. The office will be on your left. There are signs. Easy In. Easy Out.

This is a great overnight stay, refuel, get a few groceries. It is a combination Best Western hotel, fuel station (Conoco), casino, laundry facility. Our 5th wheel is 42'. The park was/is originally designed (it seems) for small rigs of 15' or less. But they have converted/added lines where larger rigs can parallel park in front of sites. In our case, three sites. The sites are very level. THIS IS A PARALLEL PARKING SITUATION. If you are not comfortable doing so, you might opt for a different park. Some people are courteous. Others may not leave you much room to work with. Its a luck of the draw. I watched 1 individual work for 10 minutes to get in. Water is right by the curb. Our 25' 50A electric cord reached with ease. Sewer is at each spot you overlap (larger rigs). We are parked by the roadway. No problem. Traffic goes by at 30-40 mph. A couple of screaming ambulances. An annoying smart alec truck driver pressing hard in his engine brake. There is also a train repair center behind the park. A few ringing of the bells, a short blast of the horn. Some slight rumbling of the ground. A few rude, obnoxiously loud motorcycles. A few more locals who can't afford a muffler. Just like living in New York City... Luckily, it quiets down later in the evening. Not bad if your rig is insulated at all. We also ran our 2 A/C's which covered a lot of that noise. Just leave the A/C fans on if the weather is good or sleep with a box fan.

Besides the overnight stay, we were offered access to the hotel's swimming pool, hot tub and exercise room. We were also provided coupons for nearby restaurants and bars. There is a small casino on site as well as a nice laundry facility. There are also restrooms. The parking areas have trees for some shade. They are trimmed nice and high. Some folks were outside their rigs setting up BBQ. At night, the Park is well lit.

Check out time is at 12 (noon). Discounts include AAA, AARP, CAA, Senior, Military. Reservations can be made at: Roverpass.com.

We would definitely stay here again. Park is well cared for. Neat and clean. Staff is very friendly, courteous and helpful.

The experience starts with no signs or place to pull in to register. It's combined with a casino and gas station so a bit chaotic to get checked in.

The park is a horseshoe that was originally small back-ins around the edge and parallel pull-throughs along a central island. Now that everyone is in bigger units they are parking rigs parallel around the outside, using three of the back-in sites.

We were given 38, 39, and 40. This left only 41 between us and the corner wall. We backed up as much as possible to leave room to park our toad in 40. When we came back from shopping they had parked someone in 40 and 41. Great. We managed to squeeze the toad at the back, taking up park of 37 where another camper was parked.

The utility hookups at the front are literally at the sidewalk. Doesn't give one a sense of security with such easy access. The park is also right on Hwy 2 so road noise is constant.

The WiFi wasn't working in the park but don't know if that's always the case or just because of the construction. Eventually the sites will be pull-through and maybe a fence will be built along the sidewalk. Lots of maybes here so I'd check before making it your stop.
