The Troy RV Park is city operated/maintained facility with 9 campsites. Each site has full hookups, a table and paved parking spur. Situated on Front street, behind the grain silos, it's a peaceful and quiet. There are lots of birds in the area, including grouse, morning doves, starlings, blackbirds, the occasional red-tailed hawk, and even wild turkeys. While we didn't spot a turkey directly, it was common to hear them gobbling in the brush.
There is not much for things to do in Troy, but they do have a museum and a couple of eating establishments. Deary is about 15 minutes to the east, where you can sample fare from Fuzzys Tavern (great burgers), or have a cinnamon roll the size of your head from the Pie Safe. White Pine Foods is the grocery store in Deary, and is located right on main street, across from the Pie Safe.
The first Saturday of August is the start of Deary Days, which features a parade, barbecue and a dance.
If you need a bigger town, the city of Moscow is about 30 minutes to the west, with Pullman, WA located about 8 miles beyond that. If you are cheese connoisseur, it's highly recommended you stop by the creamery at WSU and pick up a tin. As of this writing there are eight varieties, from mild to highly flavorful.
If you are a biker or a walker, the Rails-to-Trails path runs right next to the park. This trail extends from Pullman, WA to four miles south of Troy, ID. While we didn't partake of the path, I've been told it is pretty scenic at some points. Watch out for wildlife.
Connectivity
Connectivity is, well, painful. There is no wifi, and cell service (with Verizon) is spotty at best. You can do light email checking and make phone calls, but anything beyond that is agonizing. If you need online entertainment, it's best to download any movies, TV shows, or games prior to arrival in town.
No campfires are allowed due to the high fire danger, but they do allow barbecues. Also, this is a seasonal campground, and is open April 1 through November 30. Winter gets pretty cold in this part of north Idaho. We stayed in mid to late May, and found ourselves using our furnace at night, with mild days.
Facilities
No facilities to speak of. The dump station is great and can service two vehicles at once. If you're staying, each site has its own utilities (water, sewer, electric, and garbage). The power was steady and clean. Water pressure it is a bit elevated, so I'd recommend that you make use of a water pressure regulator to step it down. My general rule of thumb is no more than 40 PSI, and the pressure out of the tap is upwards of 60 PSI. The water is soft but has a bit of an aftertaste. It's fine for washing and cooking, though.
Summary
Troy RV park is great for an overnight stay, up to about a week. We stayed their for three nights, and it was perfectly fine, as we were usually out and about visiting family. The maximum stay is 15 days in a 30 day period. Ease of access to each campsite is a bonus. Each of the sites is pull through, and we had no problem pulling in with the Grizz, with plenty of extra space for our toad.
The park is very well-kept and clean, and we didn't have any issues.
