Hi-Lo Motel & RV Park

Friendly staff. Small town feeling. Hearty breakfast. Great place to stop and enjoy.

I made reservations to stay one night there on our way from California to Bend. I made the reservation online over a week ago, and then emailed later to be sure they had sewer hook ups. Joanne answered my email and said, yes, they do, with no other information.
When we got there, Joanne, who is very nice, gave us site #7. The back in sites there have all the hookups together between each site. Fine if you have the back in site with the hookups on the correct side, or if you could drive front in and not back in, but this site had the hookups on the wrong side!! And no one told us prior to this. She didn't even tell me when I checked in.
Therefore, we did not stay. She refunded my money and apologized. But, after driving 5 hours, it was not a good experience.
We drove on to Klamath Falls and stayed at Oregon Motel 8 and RV Park. These are all pull throughs and have the hookups on the right side. YAY!

We enjoyed our stay here. Parking lot/entrance was a bit narrow, we weren’t sure we had entered in the right spot. There’s an exit out the back that we found easier to navigate. The sites are simple but perfect for an overnight. Thanks to a previous review we knew to ask for a site that had hook-ups on the correct side. We were pleasantly surprised to find a small green strip and babbling creek behind our site #4! There were even doggie waste stations and bags available. We got there right when the sun was low and gave a beautiful light on changing leaves behind us. Check-in was quick and friendly. RV bathroom (1) and showers (2) were nice and clean, also had washer/dryer and a vending machine with detergent. The cafe is convenient and the food and service were great. This is obviously not a luxury resort, but again, perfect if you are just passing through. Everything was quiet at night.

Only two non permanent spots
Lumber trucks park here and depart at two in the morning!
Loud freeway noise from trucks

Stayed here at RV location to avoid fires and we really enjoyed the convenience. 32 ft class A with a toad. You will want to unhook toad in advance and enter the RV area from the back entrance. Not sure I would bring anything much bigger than my RV in here and I am very comfortable with tight maneuvers. The RV spots are great because the back up to babbling brook which is beautiful white noise. You have to back in and the odd # spots have the hookups on the wrong side so you will need to run your hotel services under your RV.

We reserved a night here on our way to Washington. From the photos it looked okay. When we got there, however, it felt much more like a parking lot with very little space between campers. Absolutely nothing for kids to do except kick some dust around. If you only want to stay inside your trailer or RV, then I guess it’s as good as any other place. We actually left and went to a National Forest campground past McCloud (which was 1000x better) and we didn’t even stay here even though we already paid for a night at the RV park.

Placed the call looking for a spot as we barrelled northbound on I-5, friendly staff answered and gave us detailed instructions on how to reach them as well as a choice of two sites they said were available. The place is a surprisingly large motel built on an incline, and there are 14 spots at the back end of the property at the bottom of the hill, up against a fast running creek (lots of rain this year). Finding the entrance is easy enough but we wondered if it was the right way to enter as you have to navigate the upper motel parking lot which is full of cars and make a left down a narrow driveway going down a small, steep decline. This puts you at the front of the row of sites, and you have to pull forward and then back down the lower motel parking lot to get to any site further back. Which we had to do because the first spot they assigned us contained an RV that had clearly been there for some time. As we backed down to the second spot they'd offered, it was occupied by someone's pickup. The front office was quite a hike back up the hill in the pouring rain, so we called instead and were instructed to take whichever spot WAS open.

Site #6 was wide enough to back into despite having two pickups on the front side of either site, fortunately there were enough empty motel parking spaces in front of us to maneuver. The water at that site had a sign that said it didn't work, which was OK for us as we still had fresh water in our tanks, we just needed a place to sleep. Site was surprisingly level. The sites that were occupied were clearly long-term residents but everyone was quiet and the night peaceful enough.

Not looking forward to navigating back up the narrow hill to get out the next morning, we were delighted to find there was a marked back exit, a sign we hadn't seen the night before. The gate and turn are a little narrow, but not hard to manage. Some of the spots have the services on the driver side, some on the passenger side. Make sure to ask. On the plus side, there is a nice looking cafe as part of the motel. Sadly, they were having kitchen trouble that morning and we couldn't eat there.
