The Inn
The Inn in Philipsburg is a combination motel and campground; the latter offers campsites for RVs. The sites are unpaved and in an open field, so there is no shade and big rigs might have problems with soft earth. However, each site comes with full hookups; the park welcomes pets; and the facility is roughly ? of a mile of Philipsburg's small historic district and its restaurants. The RV park is open year-round, so it offers access to trout fishing in nearby Rock Creek and winter sports at the Discovery Ski Area, about a 20-minute drive from Philipsburg.
