"This is a great spot in a tiny town south of Butte Montana. They have a couple cabins, several motel rooms and about 10 full hookup, all grass, RV spots. Also a large area for car/tent camping."
"The owners are very nice, helped us park the camper. They take great care of this place. It has 10 RV spots, close together but nice and also a log motel and some cabins."
"Sites are close to each other. There were no picnic tables and wood fires are not allowed so no fire rings."
"Nice and clean areas with a great little store. I want to judge a park by the cost of ice “2.00” seems fair. $29.00 to tent camp."
"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. "
"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."

"If you like history, ghost towns and camping then Bannack State Park is for you. Bannack Montana was the 1st Territorial Capital of Montana."
"Vigilante campground at Bannack State Park is perfect for those who like ghost towns. The Campground has 16 sites, one site is just for those arriving by bike."
LegendIf you like history, ghost towns and camping then Bannack State Park is for you. Bannack Montana was the 1st Territorial Capital of Montana. The Ghost town allows you a look at how settlers and miners leaved in the early day of Montana. See the 1st Territorial Governors Manson (ok, small cabin). Almost all of building you can enter. The best times to visit is when reenactments are happening at the park. The state park has two small campgrounds, Vigilante Campground with 15 sites and one Tipi site. One of the sites at the Vigilante site is only for bikers. Vigilante campsites can be reserved. The other campground is Road Agent Campground. Road Agent has 8 sites. Both sites have Vault Toilets, water and trash bins.
GuideIt is a very off the beaten path, tucked away in the woods, true getaway from the busy city life. Travel south on 278 from Wisdom, MT and take the chance on an 18 mile gravel road to find a place only you see in pictures and read about in magazines. Drive through open cattle ranges and find a beautiful campground nestled up to 2 small lakes connected by a shallow channel. Clear water to see the bottom where it's shallow enough. No motorized boats allowed, so bring your own kayak or canoe and a fishing pole or two to enjoy the refreshing waters at the bottom of the mountains. Even in July, you can see snow atop the mountains on the Montana-Idaho border.
LegendLovely campground, maintained, super nice and attentive owners.. we got the overview of Virginia City and a local mine. Had a great time there.
Awesome little gift shop where you can get shirts, stickers, gourmet popcorn, ice, ice cream.
Level site with electric and water. Very peaceful. Also a couple small cabins that they rent out as well. Highly recommend.
GuideThis is a great spot in a tiny town south of Butte Montana. They have a couple cabins, several motel rooms and about 10 full hookup, all grass, RV spots. Also a large area for car/tent camping. The grounds are meticulously maintained by the owner and it has nice views of the bluffs and mountains all around it. Walking distance to the restaurant and bar in town if that’s your thing. Quality hookups at each site, and each site has its own trash can. Clean bathrooms and laundry on site. Owners are very present and attentive on site and super friendly. Picnic tables at every site. One shared fire pit out front of the office. It’s in a very small town, with several fishing spots nearby. Very peaceful location. We would stay again.
A few things to be aware of:
GuideThis 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.
TravelerOverall it was a great campsite. There are currently 17 camping spots with a cabin as well. The campsite is located right on the lake and it’s about a 15 mile commute on a gravel road to get there. If your plan is to stay at the campsite for the duration of your visit I would recommended it. But if you are going to explore the area you have to make the 30 mile round trip in order to get to the main road. It was also busy when we got there (Friday night) all 17 campsites were full. There are plenty of great campsites that aren’t 30 mile round trip on gravel roads. The actual sites itself were nice with picnic tables and fire pits.
ScoutCabin was nice for our needs. Parking space was limited to one single vehicle without a trailer. Firewood and lantern were not provided.
GuideNice level gravel site. Sites are close to each other. There were no picnic tables and wood fires are not allowed so no fire rings. My guess for the no fires rule is because you would be smoking out your neighbor which I can appreciate because we have had to close our windows because of other folks smoke. Frost free spigots were good especially since the weather at night was below freezing. The proximity to Fairmont hot springs is great and we took advantage of the pools.
LegendNice little campground outside of Philipsburg next to the highway and a creek. There are only 10 sites on the lollipop loop, 6 along the “stick”, all on the creek side, and 4 on the loop. There are a couple extra vehicle parking areas too. Creek side sites are better, but sites 7 and 8 seem to be the largest. I was pleasantly surprised there was a host for only 10 free first come sites. All the basics are here- picnic tables and fire pits and one clean vault toilet. I did not see any hook ups of any kind for RVs. Pretty quiet at night but traffic starts around 6:30 in the morning, so you will have some daytime noise. I saw a deer walking through the campground in the late evening as well.
The only downside was my very noisy neighbors, but that is more about the people and less about the campground.
