IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO VISIT SPOKANE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO AVOID THIS RV PARK

Writers who are also RVers should expect to stay in RV parks that offer large enough sites for minimal quiet and an uninterrupted source of electricity so that you can work in your RV. It's a rare event when I complain about an RV park, but we have just had one of the worst experiences in our sixteen years of RVing. Most RV parks at the minimum, provide an adequate campsite, and if a problem comes up that will inconvenience the RVer, the park owners will either offer to move the RVer or refund their money.

We've just discovered one where management doesn't give a flip whether your site is adequate or not once they have your money (non-refundable), so I decided I should start rating some RV parks that we stay in if they are really bad or really good. The average ones don't need to be mentioned here.

One of the worst we've found is Trailer Inns located in Spokane, Washington. It's the only one within the metropolitan area so that's why we chose it, but in the future we will drive over to Idaho (15 miles away) to stay when we want to visit relatives in Spokane Valley. This one was 7 miles from our relatives. On a scale of 1 to 5, Trailer Inns in Spokane rates a big fat goose egg! The only upside is that it is convenient to the city of Spokane if you ever need to go there, but we've never found a good reason to go downtown.

Next time I'll write about some of the parks that offer much more than expected. Outstanding facilities and service deserve mention as surely as the miserable places do and we've stayed in some beautiful spots.

Trailer Inns rating: 0
