If I could leave a zero I would . There is a lot of long term living there. The lady next to us had two dogs that did nothing but bark all day long . You can’t swim in the creek to enjoy it. It just was very dirty and a huge disappointment. Won’t be staying here again or recommending this place to anyone.

Like camping in the highway median. Seriously, the campground is sandwiched between the interstate and another highway. It is noisy. The bathrooms are pit toilets. Ithey stunk. There was poop smeared on the outhouse door frame of the closest one. Several long-term campers with lots of stuff strewn around. Does allow dogs and has a small fenced dog yard, so that is a positive. But I won’t be back.

The worst place we have ever stayed. Our site was selected by them and was right next to the park sewage dumping station. We had to pick up animal feces before we could even set up. The following morning we had to pick up scattered garbage from the garbage truck as that was behind our site as well. The noise from the highway was constant. We spent as little time there as we could. It was clearly the worst site in the campground.

Had interesting experience in Alhambra RV park. I booked site by the creek, so my kids can fish and play in the water. Upon arriving we were told that our site is occupied, previous campers decided to stay longer. Our new site was very small, among campers that stay there long term and not by the creek. Also water spigot had lock on it so we could not use it. Our experience pretty quick turned from camping to trailers park leaving. For $45 a night it was absolutely not worth it. Maybe we got ripped off and it was standard site instead. We are going back to Helena in a month and will not be staying in Alhambra RV park.

Nice enough park. We had a nice pull through grassy area by a cute creek. The downside is the Rv park sits between a major highway and a frontage rd. Very noisy

We enjoyed our stay at this park. Services were fine, good water. Electric pedestal had a bad ground prone and was in need of replacement. Site was level and a drive through. The smal stream was a bonus.

We were told the site we reserved was still occupied and were given another site. not on the river with no shade and no sewer. Another camper was allowed to camp on the road directly behind our spot. It was more than a weird e perience. We did not feel valued or respected. There was some garbage on the ground of our campsite. The dog pen was not mowed.

One of the top 5 worst campgrounds I’ve stayed at in all my travels (and I’ve stayed at over 100 campgrounds in my travels). Two busy roads on both sides of the campground (one of them a highway) so don’t expect a good sleep. Garbage truck came to dump the dumpsters from the campground at 4:30am which woke everyone up (if they weren’t already awake from the road noise). Sites are not level at all and sewer hookup was way too far forward to hookup properly. Manager was unfriendly and made a point of saying he doesn’t like 1 night stays (which was our case). I could go on and on here but I believe my point has been made. My advise is to find another campsite in the area.

Stayed one night. Arrived after office closed. When the Manager showed up he gave us the wrong code for the bathrooms and if a fellow traveler had not shared the correct code we would not have access. We felt like the Manager was in a huge hurry. When we had issues with the bathroom code we called both the manager and Rover and no one answered either. Rover had a message that no one was available and then said “good bye”. Couldn’t even leave a message which is ridiculous. Don’t stay here if you book online and/ check in late.

This is a copy of a review I already have left on Google maps. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! this small seedy and noisy RV campsite trailer park is sandwiched between Interstate I15 about 75 yds to the west and a local access road to Clancy about 20 yds to the east it was almost perpetually noisy until maybe 10pm. We arrived about 4pm to find nobody in the office. And so we picked a reasonable looking site that had the power and water that we had booked for. As we were in mid-set up a site manager guy happened by and advised that the site we were in was premium site and would cost $15/night more than we had booked for. (I agreed, but perhaps that was because of the rifle alongside him in his SUV!). IMO check-in times for most day travelers would be between 3pm and 5 or 6pm and during these times there should be a person on site to direct campers. Anyway, later we had a look around at the “standard” sites and could see absolutely nothing over and above those standard sites that would make our site “premium” or worth $30 more for our 2 night stay. In fact a couple of them looked better than the one we picked. I THINK THAT WE WERE RIPPED-OFF FOR $30!! The site we chose was filled with wet soggy wood mulch chips but we didn’t realize how soft the ground was at the time. No gravel here. See pic. As for the restroom, shower and laundry, well! -getting through the door would cause anyone with poor eyesight or trying later in the evening without a flash light, considerable problem with the combination. See photo. The combo lock numbers were worn off and a pen or biro had been used to try and make them legible. They were not, but I eventually figured it out! Once inside, the shower and toilet looked disgusting and seemed that they hadn’t been cleaned or maintained/repaired in years. There was mold around the shower tub and cracks in it that has been ad-hoc repaired with some kind of sealant on which mold was now growing. The towel rail was gone and only its support clips on the wall evidenced that there had ever been one. See pic. I would not use the restroom/shower if you paid me. The whole laundry, shower, washroom is in dire need of a full make-over. We did not use the laundry equipment, but it looked very old too and I’d be very suspicious of how well the machines and driers worked. Stay at your own risk. After being on a road trip in the US for the recent past 6 weeks and visiting over 20 other RV campsites this is the worst we have seen and I certainly will not return to Alhambra RV campground trailerpark

Quiet, despite roads nearby. The electrical/water hookups were a little concerning at our sight. Grass needed mowing and garbage dumpsters were overflowing. Everyone in the campground was friendly and respectful.

If I could give a zero I would. Randy Irvine the owner is an absolute jerk who has no people skills or customer service ethics. Arrived and the spot we reserved and was approved and accepted for and it was occupied when we arrived. Spoke to lady in spot and she said she had reserved that spot a long time ago. She was kind enough to call Dan the manager who came right down and told us Randy had messed up and double booked the spot. Dan was very kind and showed us to another spot we could stay at. Right next to the vault toilets! When we reserved we paid for full hookups (water, power and sewer) Found out when there they have very very limited full hookup sites, all occupied. The site we were given was a pull thru site at $10 less per night. I called Randy and he was a first class jerk and hung up on me! Later on we had no water. Husband called, was told some people fill their tanks up (which they aren’t suppose to) and depleted the well. Told my husband he could shower and use water the next day! What a joke for a business! The only nice thing there was Dan. Never again will stay there and you should be very cautious about booking there. They also say at the owners discretion he will charge $10 per day if they feel you use too much electricity (which each site is NOT metered) or water! WHAT!!! Also where is my $20 refund for not having full hookup as paid for?

The park is beautiful with large shaded campsites right next to a clear, gurgling stream, but the location is very noisy, with a loud highway less than 50' from our tent site to the East, and an Interstate highway about 200' to the West. My only other significant complaint was the fact that everyone in the park has to share 1 shower. The facilities are older (1970s, perhaps,) but clean. Perhaps because of this, the prices are excellent. The camp site had dog mess from previous guests that hadn't been cleaned up. There is no manager available to meet with at the office, but he does patrol the park in a diesel pickup about eight times a day, for some reason. We also noticed that there are A LOT of signs listing things you can't do, some with threats (e.g. "if you put 'flushable wipes' in the toilet, we'll have to close the clubhouse" (shower & laundry facility,) and "Don't fill your RV tank with our hydrants". We also thought it was odd that yellow 'caution' tape was used to prevent guests from accessing the lawn & creek area next to the clubhouse for no apparent reason.

I've stayed at Alhambra RV Park, overnight once a week, for three weeks now. Conditions have improved due to the hosts taking action on needed maintenance, such as getting the vault toilets emptied and serviced. They're very nice and watch out for their guest's needs. The setting is nice, even for people like myself who just need a place to park and sleep in my truck. Those with tents or RVs will find hookups and other needed accomodations. I do wish Rover Pass would reveal restroom codes, etc, in case one arrives and the hosts are not available.
