What guests say
The park report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores are worth reading together: guests like the friendly owners, the location and the grassy grounds, while highway and train noise and the lack of restrooms come up most.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Westerly fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a small, friendly, year-round park with full hookups and Wi-Fi, a short walk from the hot springs and handy for Purgatory. There are no restrooms or showers, sites are fairly close and highway and train noise come up often, so it suits self-contained rigs best.
