Butte KOA

Highway noise proves less intrusive than expected at this KOA positioned directly off Interstate 90 in Butte. The campground sits adjacent to the Butte Visitor Information Center, making it a convenient base for exploring Montana's mining heritage and accessing nearby walking trails. Recent management changes have brought notable improvements to what was previously described as a somewhat rundown facility.

The bathrooms stand out as a highlight, with James M. noting these are "the nicest restrooms/showers of any we have stayed at." Multiple reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness throughout the facility. Staff members actively monitor weather conditions, texting guests to secure awnings before incoming storms. The campground maintains a compact layout typical of urban KOAs, with gravel pads, concrete patios, and standard amenities including picnic tables, fire pits, and rocking chairs at full hookup sites.

A swimming pool provides relief during summer months, though maintenance issues have been reported intermittently. The adjacent playground shows signs of age but remains functional for younger campers. On-site pizza ordering through the camp store offers a convenient dinner option with pepperoni or cheese varieties. Laundry facilities operate around the clock behind the main office. Oversized chess sets and children's mining activities provide additional entertainment options when operational.

The campground accommodates RVs up to 56 feet with full hookups available. Verizon cell service performs reliably given the central Butte location. Curtis B. notes "pleasant staff, clean facilities" with offers to escort guests to their sites. Road improvements have eliminated previous issues with potholes and muddy conditions. Construction projects occasionally limit access to portions of the campground.

For travelers seeking additional overnight options in the area, campgrounds near Butte provide alternatives for those preferring different settings or amenities.

Easy on/off the interstate

This was our first stop after leaving Yellowstone. Drove up to Butte because my husband wanted to go to a local exhibition that was happening that weekend and see Our Lady of the Rockies. I didn't really walk around the campground, but it seemed like a smaller KOA. It is easy to find right off the interstate. I thought perhaps the highway noise would be an issue, but it was not. As we were a week into our 2 week trip, I used our down time here to do some laundry. The laundry room was in back of the store/main office where you register when you arrive. I believe it was open 24 hours. To my delight, you could also order pizza in the store. I think they could have brought it to our site, but I couldn't remember the site number when I ordered so I just went back in about 30 min to get my order. It was very simple, you only had two options--pepperoni or cheese, but the pizza was hot and tasted decent. Not at all what I expected. We did partake of the pool, which my toddler thought was fantastic and there was a small older playground next to the pool. This KOA is right next to the Butte Visitor's Information Bureau and some nice looking walking trails. We were in a site with full hook-ups, gravel pad with concrete patio, grill, firepit, picnic table and two rocking chairs. I would have loved to spend some time in the rocking chairs had we not had some wonderful thunderstorms. Had great cell service with Verizon as this campground is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Butte.

Just keep driving!

Seems KOAs are loosing their appeal. Pool was broken and dirty, chess pieces were missing, nothing else to do for the kiddos but a dilapidated playground. Half the park was off limits because it was under construction. Our site didn’t have a fire pit. Office smelled like smoke when you walked in.

Loved Their Facilities

Of all the places we have stayed at this KOA had the nicest restrooms/ showers of any we have stayed at. This means a lot to me and this the reason for 5 stars. The actual site we stayed in was not anything special

Great 2 day stay

Extremely helpful and accommodating staff.
Great help with parking as we are 70 ft. with our trailer. They even helped me pour DEF in my tank and added air to one tire. We can't say enough about the entire place.

Much improved campground

We have stayed at this campground several times in the past. Previously it was a bit rundown. Under the new management there is quite an improvement. The bathrooms are new and spacious and very clean. They have upgraded the roads in the campground so that they are no longer potholed and muddy with new gravel and we especially like the fact that the campground personnel were friendly and texted us to put our awnings in as a thunderstorm was coming. The Campground is located just south of downtown and within walking distance of many of the attractions in this lovely historic city.

Will Definitely Be Back!

It's a KOA, so if you're looking for large spaces to spread out & enjoy it's not gonna be your cup of tea. However, it's a very nice KOA with extremely helpful and friendly staff, great fried chicken, and easy access to the Butte visitors center & nature trail. We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and variety of activities including outdoor oversized chess, a children's mining activity, etc. We'll definitely be back to enjoy the beauty of Butte America.

Lack of modern utilities

Another KOA with disappointing Wi-Fi connectivity. In today’s world, more and more of us require this utility in order to conduct work-from-home while in our RVs. Unfortunately, my recent experience travelling across the country from KOA to KOA has led me to conclude that many KOAs advertise this utility, in order to get your business, knowing that you are unlikely to leave when you discover that their connectivity is not at all modern.

Small and no space between campers

This is not a place he would stay long term it’s just merely a pitstop. They do have a little riverfront great that runs by it but otherwise it’s just a parking lot.

Great place to stay

Bathrooms were exceptionally large. Clean with great water pressure in the showers. Location was convenient to travel to other nearby cities and easily walkable to the historic uptown.
