This is just a 10 minute drive from Farragut State Park and well worth the stop. I doubt they'll run out of parking any time as it's plentiful with an adjacent RV park run by Silverwood. You park on the opposite side of the freeway and walk under through a long tunnel to the entry point. The whole park is accessible with ramps everywhere.
There are many places to get food including a couple of sit down restaurants which are much nicer than the food booths (which are pretty good).
It was a very hot day and the kids were looking forward to the water park but there is so much more with the rides and carnival games. The park is nicely maintain and staffed by a very young and well trained staff. Even though there were thousands of people in the park, all of it ran orderly with lots of fun had by all.
The wave pools are huge and very cooling with our high temperatures and we all enjoyed them. The water slides and river were also fun and packed.
One of the great designs of this park are, the many strategically located benches and large sitting rocks located in the shade. It was a must for the heat and walking. The multiple roller coasters provide hours of fun and our kids rode them multiple times as you only pay an entry fee and all the rides are included. Our kids rated it higher than Disneyland for the roller coasters. They had a great time!

We stayed here for one night on July 26, 2018.
The park is tight with very narrow spaces but well maintained. We were only stopping for one night on the way home and having a level, nice pull-through site, with hookups was nice. We never even unhooked the trailer but it was spot on level. The park is pretty packed with many long-term residents visible through more permanent porches, 100 gallon propane hook up, and lots of potted plants. Since we were traveling and the park was so clean, it didn't bother me at all but others have made note of that.
There are both dumpsters onsite but also site pickup of garbage by the park. That’s a nice unexpected service. The pool and laundry closes at 8pm but the showers are open 24 hours. The greeter was very nice and helpful, couldn't ask for any more.
We stayed at this park on July 22, 2018 for 3 days.
This park sits right on the river on the outskirts of Kalispell, MT. Of the eight parks we stayed at during this trip, it was the family's least favorite. As we arrived after 5pm, the office was closed and we picked up our packet from the office door. There were 3 pages of rules and regulations on everything you can imagine from restrooms to hammocks. There is free Wifi but passwords are required for each device and it's very slow, even for simple tasks as email.
There are two types of sites, ones with full hookups (water/electric/sewer) and those they claim are full hookup with only water/electric. They charge the same price for either one.
The bathrooms require passcodes and only cleaned every other day. This is a problem with over 100 RVs with many more total people using them. The women's bathroom toilet/shower had a sewage issue and the bathroom was closed for over 12 hours.
Several of the large RVs have been in the park for months (I'm told they arrive in April and stay until fall). When they stay that long, the areas around the RVs tend to be cluttered with 'stuff'.
The store is large but has almost nothing. You're better off going 1.7 miles down the road to the 24 hour market which is great.
The river flowed right past our campsite but is not accessible due to the berm/embankment which is designed to keep the camp from flooding when water levels rise. The only close way to the water is about 1/4 mile towards the highway bridge where there is a boat launch.
