Kootenai River Campground

8 Reviews

Kootenai River Campground, near Troy, Montana, is a cozy spot that’s perfect for families and outdoor lovers alike. With a mix of RV sites, tent spots, and even cabins, it caters to all kinds of campers looking to enjoy the great outdoors.

The campground is known for its clean facilities, including tidy bathrooms and showers, which visitors appreciate after a day of adventure. Many guests have praised the friendly owners, who go out of their way to ensure everyone has a great stay. One camper noted, “The owners are great people. Very helpful for sure.”

You’ll find a lovely path leading down to the Kootenai River, where you can kick back in chairs or picnic tables and soak in the scenery. The area is also a great launch point for exploring nearby attractions like Kootenai Falls and Ross Creek Cedars, both of which are must-sees.

While the campground is conveniently located near the highway, making it easy to get out and explore, some campers mentioned that it can be a bit noisy at times. Still, the welcoming atmosphere and the chance to meet fellow campers make Kootenai River Campground a solid choice for your next outdoor adventure.

Great campground

A very nice small campground. About 2/3 of the sites are full hookups. Rest water and electric. Tent sites. Owners are great people. Very helpful for sure. They have a path you can walk down right to the Kootanie river with chairs and picnic tables to sit on. Very nice. Grounds are clean and tidy. Owners care a lot about their customers. Bathrooms are clean. Showers also clean. Would recommend staying here if your in the area.

A nice family campground.

We enjoyed our time at this camp. Most sites are for RVs, but we got a tent site. Unfortunately, my two year old son didn’t settle for bed easily when camping. I ended up in hotels a couple nights, just because I didn’t want to bother the other campers. The time I did stay there was nice. The hosts are very helpful and kind as well.

Fantastic people and place!

I been through the area a couple times on quick trips,I always wanted to return and explore the area without knowing much about it and the people were very helpful. Yes they told us how to get to Ross Creek Cedars and Kootenai falls (go early), absolutely stunning! I also found Libby Dam, we sat on the tailgate eating lunch and watched eagles soaring and fishing on the bottom side of the dam. The trail down to the river was great, the boys had a blast riding their bikes on it. The only downside was being right next to the highway but that also made it nice for getting out and exploring too.

Great experience and people!

We stayed here for two nights for our first “plugged in” camper experience. Owners were super friendly and helpful! At their recommendation visited both the Kootenai Falls and Ross Creek Cedars, both very fun and memorable experiences for us and our toddler. Camp store packed with fun goodies. Also met some new friends while at camp, excited to meet up with them again someday! Will definitely be back!

Superb Owners

To start off, I rarely write reviews. We were in the area in August of 2019 and we stopped here to potentially tent camp. We went inside and asked if there was anything available for the night. We wanted a quiet campground with access to the Kootenay River in which they had both. So one of the owners let us check out the sites and trail to the river. However, we wanted something right on the river and it was a little bit of a walk to gain access to it.

We went back in and said we wanted something along the river and the owner recommended a different campground further down the road. (Which ended up being a great recommendation.) She didn't have to do that. She wasn't greedy whatsoever. That's how businesses should operate. That what makes people want to come back because of little stuff like this. I even offered to buy some firewood because she recommended a different campsite and she told us to get it at the camp in which we were staying.

That's why I'm writing this review because it's hard to find good service like that anymore. Although we didn't stay here, I highly recommend this campground. Great service, very clean, and nice atmosphere.

Lovely

The setting is beautiful. New owners took over this year. It's on the river so you can bring your boat. They have upgraded all the cabins and it really looks nice. The new managers are super friendly too. We will be back!!!
