Old America Kampground

We pulled into Old American about 5 pm on a Tuesday and there wasn’t an attendant on duty.  Which is fine, our tag and info was taped to the window by the door, with a line drawn to our site.  I had picked our site online, so there was no guesswork to that.  We found our site pretty easily; it was on the end of a line of about 20 spots that were mostly filled along the river that separates Idaho and Washington.  We were along a steep hill with a trail that leads down to the river.  We had to keep a good eye on Emmett.  The sites are full hook up which is nice.  We got level and hooked up pretty quickly.  This is a fairy small campground, and from the looks of it, it was mostly older folks.  We did not see a single other kid while we were there.  There was a clubhouse with a kitchen, TV and Foosball.  The park was in fairly good shape, but needed some upkeep for sure.  The bathrooms had 2 showers, the water pressure was good, and there was not a lack of hot water.  The laundry room adjacent to the bathrooms had 2 washers and 2 dryers.  One washer was $1.50 and the other $1.25 and the dryers were $.25 for 10 min of dry time, expect to spend at least $1.25 per load to dry.   I went down to the office in the morning to settle up, and had to pay $1 per night per device for WIFI, and had I known how well the service was going to work, I would have just passed.  Overall it was a good stop for us, but I couldn’t see us staying at this campground for any extended period of time.  This park is a part of RPI and Coast to Coast, and only cost $10 a night for us, plus that darn sales tax.   I’d say 3 Stars out of 5, convenience and amenities were there, but not a family friendly place, and needed some work.
