Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bitterroot National Forest
Several RV parks provide access to the Bitterroot Valley and mountains. Travellers Rest RV Park in Darby offers full hookups including water, sewer, and 50-amp electric service on pull-through sites accommodating larger motorhomes. Black Rabbit RV in Hamilton features pull-through sites with full hookups positioned near the Bitterroot River. "Very full park with mostly long-term guests on gravel pads, no spots very close together but each site had a picnic table," noted one camper about Black Rabbit RV. Lake Como Campground, open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, provides electric and water hookups with 30-amp service in a forested setting, though big rig access may be limited at certain sites.
During summer months, RV parks throughout the region experience high occupancy rates, particularly on weekends. Dump stations are available at Travellers Rest RV Park and Black Rabbit RV, while Lake Como lacks this service. Cell service varies significantly across the valley, with stronger signals in towns and weaker or nonexistent coverage in mountain locations. Some parks, including Bitterroot Valley RV Park, maintain strict cancellation policies—a reviewer cautioned about non-refundable deposits regardless of cancellation timing. Most RV parks in the area permit pets, though rules vary by location. Forest Service roads leading to more remote campgrounds may present challenges for larger motorhomes due to narrow passages and occasional rough conditions.
