Best Cabin Camping near Belt, MT

Rustic cabins near Belt, Montana range from historic forest service structures to standard KOA accommodations. Monument Peak Lookout and Dry Wolf Cabin offer remote backcountry experiences with minimal amenities, while Kings Hill Cabin provides seasonal shelter in the Little Belt Mountains. "The Judith Guard cabin is an amazing forest service cabin to stay in. This cabin is an historic two story cabin near the Middle Fork of the Judith River. The cabin pretty much fully stocked, it has propane heat a cook stove, has beds to sleep eight people," notes one visitor. Great Falls KOA, located about 30 miles northwest of Belt, offers more modern cabin options with electricity and convenient access to showers and restrooms.

Cabin styles vary significantly across the region, from basic shelters to fully furnished accommodations. Many forest service cabins require advance booking through Recreation.gov, with prices around $60 per night. Most cabins remain open year-round, though Kings Hill Cabin operates only from June through Thanksgiving. Pet policies differ by location - most Forest Service cabins prohibit pets while KOA cabins typically welcome them. A camper described their KOA experience: "This was the best KOA I've ever been to. We stayed in the glamping tent for one night, which was a super cool spot with a great view." Judith Guard Station stands out with its historic two-story layout, piano, and sleeping space for eight people.

Visitors should check each cabin's amenities before arrival. Forest service cabins like Dry Wolf typically lack running water, electricity, and indoor plumbing. Campers need to bring bedding, lighting sources, food, and cooking supplies. The Judith Guard Station offers a hand pump for water access and propane heat but no electricity. KOA cabins provide more amenities but still require guests to bring personal items. Be prepared for primitive conditions at the lookout cabins - one camper warned that Monument Peak Lookout is "FULLLLL of dead flies when you get there" and recommended bringing "100% of your own bedding." Most forest service cabins require packing out all trash, as no collection services exist on site.

    Great Falls KOA

    Nicely appointed KOA

    General: Just about every option you could ask for (except for tents): 50-amp FHU pull-thru, 30/20-amp with w/e(back-in and pull-thru), FHU with patio, glamping tent, one and two-room cabins and cottages. 

    Site Quality: Different from many KOAs we have stayed in is that the camper pads are gravel, not paved, and there are quite a few trees that provide decent separation/privacy between the sites. The sites are bordered by railroad ties, and some are a tighter fit than others. A few of the sites at the end of the row before the glamping site appeared a little overgrown. As is usual for a KOA, our site was assigned upon check-in. The first site we were assigned didn’t work out for us since our electric cord could not reach the pedestal. Be aware that electric connections are shared between two sites so if you do not have an extension cord, you may have a problem (or need to be reassigned which was easily done for us). 

    Bath/Shower House: Accessed by code. All-in-one units with soap and paper towels. They were clean. 

    Activities/Amenities: Many and varied including a water playground (guests can join you here by paying a fee), petting zoo, train, dog park, yard games, bike rentals, propane fill, dump station, laundry, ice, ice cream, and free pancakes. There was even live entertainment! 

    We don’t typically stay in KOAs or RV parks (mainly because of cost and lack of privacy between sites) but they are good for us when we need showers, laundry, and a dump station. Although still more than we like to spend for camping, this one was a pleasant surprise with the number of trees on the property. The staff was exceedingly friendly!

    Camp Rotary

    Great for winter camping

    I camp here with Boy Scouts since the place is often reserved for youth organizations. In the winter it can be fun but to climb some hills. Each campground has cabins which hold about 11 people and tent spaces out side. The cabin do have semi-decent heating, but not AC. The bathrooms are really big and well developed (and super warm for the winter). There is also a big “roof building” with picknick tables to eat food.

    Great Falls KOA

    Surprising oasis

    In an area of mostly open fields, this KOA is filled with nice trees. It is a very large campground with RV sites, cabins, and tent sites. This is a very kid friendly campground, almost too much. Twice within an hour a train full of kids rolled by my site shouting. There is a large playground, volleyball court, basketball, and pools. The wifi was pretty good. The bathrooms could use some updating. They are nice single occupancy toilet/shower combos but some had damage on the tile, missing soap dispenser, non functional paper towel dispensers. Close to town but no city noise.

    Great Falls KOA

    City Camping Tucked Away

    You have to drive through part of Great Falls, Montana to get to this campground, but once you are in it, you forget all about the city. You get the full camping (in a campground) experience, but you can easily drive into the city to pick up whatever you forgot to pack.

    Our site was in what they call a tent village, which is a nice roundabout of tent sites. There are walls separating the sites for privacy, but the area is big enough for your vehicle and a large tent, or multiple smaller tents. Toward the middle of the roundabout is a covered area, including a table, counter, electrical outlets, and a large cabinet that can be locked with a padlock. The tent villages are very close to a nice restroom/showers that require a key code to get in.

    Benton RV Park & Campground

    Terrible

    Benton RV Park in Fort Benton Montana is run by a very nice lady. The restrooms and showers are very clean. Those are the only nice things I can say about this place. They have a full page of rules and regulations with threats of eviction if not obeyed. Fear not though none were enforced. This is what lead us to depart early. One of there rules is to respect the campsites of others and not short cut through them. The other rule that we took issue with is children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Our campsite was overrun by a group of 6 kids. Playing and cutting through the entire time we stayed there. We had kids outside our camper door in our campsite the entire time we were there. We couldn't sit outside and enjoy our picnic table for the kids toys and their constant running back and forth. We found the photos on Benton RV Park website very deciving. They must have been very old. They depict green grass and well spaced RV's. The reality is dead brown grass and being so close to your neighbor it's more a parking lot located in an area where the houses across The street ends at an industrial like area. So if you have children you want to let run wild and you don't mind everyone cutting through your campsite this place is for you. Otherwise stay away.
