Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bitterroot National Forest

Very full park with mostly long- term guests on gravel pads, no grass. Spots very close together but each site had a picnic table- no grills. Visitors friendly but staff were marginal. Small laundry room with old machines. Convenient location but check- in early during peak season.

Go ANYWHERE but here The park is in a perfect location and Rebecca works endlessly to keep the place beautiful. However, I truly believe maintenence is her only asset. Her public relations and personality are in NO way appropriate for management. That being said I want to thank her for being rude and abrasive. Thank you for yelling at all my friends. Thank you for coming out with your hands are your hips interrogating anyone for coming into the park. Thank you for yelling at my 85 year old mother when she was confused on how to get out of the park. Thank you for never ever putting your dogs on a leash, breaking park rules. Thank you for allowing your friends in the park to allow their dogs to bark all day long when they are gone. Thank you for playing favorites and allowing your friends to play loud music while YOU party with them down by the bonfire. Thank you for screaming my name through the park and BANGING in my door when I forgot to pick up my dogs poo one time when you KNOW I pick up others people's more than 10 times. Thank you for driving your cart and your husband driving the bobcat WAY over 5 mph yet SCREAMING at me and my friends going 4 mph(I have video) I Thank you because without you doing all of those horrible things Embarassing me and my family and friends, I would have stayed there missing an opportunity to find a loving caring landlord on horse property that I will gladly pay rent for a very long time. I am not surprised that you have to advertise that place. Every other RV park is PACKED with no openings. When I left, there were 8 open long term parking. Sad, in this economy I know people that are homeless because they will never stay there. I am a travel nurse and speak to hundreds of travelers and I will never recommend this place. Infact, I will go out of my way to detour them. If the owners actually read this..... seriously reevaluate your management choices she is not appropriate for this position. Signed Happy to be ANYWHERE but Black Rabbit RV park. PS have your husband please stop hitting your poor puppy!

This is not a fancy campground but we loved it. It’s on the Bitterroot River with the Bitterroot Mtns behind you and the Sapphire in front. The spaces are on the grass with full hook ups. They have a little store for groceries and Sunday’s and sell propane. The nights are dark and star gazing is wonderful. Hamilton MT is 2 miles away with all amenities and if you like craft beer, there are two breweries. There are also some sites right on the River but they are not full hook up.

Nice little park in Hamilton. If you were wondering why its called "Black Rabbit" RV park, take a look at some of the photos below. Contactless check-in if you don't arrive during business hours. The park is on the river. It was a short walk from our RV to a cool spot with chairs and a fire pit on the river. The park is quiet and the RV spots are generally pretty wide, all pull throughs. 

The park is in town, so very convenient if you want to get groceries. The staff was friendly and helpful!

What an unbelievable place. Found this place on a total random pick. I was actually a little concerned about the cell/WiFi ability with being so potential remote. When we booked our RV spot with Porter he mentioned that Verizon cell service wasn’t very good but they did offer free WiFi which was extremely important as my wife needed it for work. When we arrived we found zero cell service but the WiFi was a savor. Now depending of what your here for no cell and WiFi could be just fine, I surely enjoyed the seclusion and being disconnected from the world.

We stayed in site #2 pretty close to the lodge which I think helped with the WiFi signal. The sites are large and easily fit our 28’ trailer and truck. Definitely could fit any size class A rig. There are full hookups at each site 20, 30, and 50amp at each site as well I believe. Not sure if you can get any closer to the river. The back of the trailer was probably less than 10 ft. to the river. Outstanding view.

The fishing was spot on, right on the river you don’t have to even drive anywhere if you don’t want. They also offer kayak rentals. Unfortunately I didn’t realize how warm, calm, and popular the river was. Next time we come back we will definitely float the river.

If there was really anything they could add, would possibly be something for kids to do. Just as a family of four with a 3 and 6 year old, they can only fish so much.

But over all 5 star, unfortunately this place won’t stay a hidden gem for much longer, can’t wait to come back. A huge thanks to Porter again!

This is not really our type of camping spot. It’s more of an RV park than a camping spot, but for what it is, it’s nice. They have spots right on the Bitterroot River. It’s a bit crowded. We were right on top of 2 other campgrounds, but some spots are bigger than others. Look at their map before selecting a site.

Still, the facilities were clean, customer service was great, the location was convenient to many good fly fishing rivers, and we had WiFi, which we hadn’t had for weeks in our previous camping locations.

Level site, quiet, gorgeous, cool and private.

$5 a night, no hookups or dump/water on site. Beautiful setting. Not great but usable Verizon and T-Mobile cell service. Loop is a bit tight in spots so I wouldn't recommend it for a large 5'er or motorhome.

Although right off the road, there isn't much road noise due to not much traffic. You have access to the creek with most sites(look for the trail in the back of your site). Bugs can be an issue in season, so keep that in mind. 

It looks like you could get an RV in here with no issue... but there are no hookups of any kind, no potable water, and no trash service so pack it out.

I prefer secluded/private places. I would definitely come back.

Enjoyed our 1 night stay at the campground. First come first serve but mid September easy to get site. Electric and water hook up nice. Nice walk to dam overlooking lake. Quiet and pleasant stay.

As the previous camper indicated, this is a quiet and lovely Campground. Please note I found only one site with electrical hookup. Currently, there is no water at any sites. Vault toilets are located throughout. Fees are $12 with $6 discount if you have Federal/Natl Park Golden Pass.

Powell Campground is a beautiful campground just over the Montana border on Hwy 12 right alongside the Lochsa River. There are two loops of campsites tent and RV pull in or back in camping with electricity that can accommodate up to a 45 ft camper. An amphitheater, large group campsite, picnic area, beautiful walking trails and most of all the beautiful Lochsa Lodge. A market with the friendliest people, cabins to rent and of course the beautiful Lochsa River. Lewis and Clark camped along the Lochsa and walked right through the campground.Deer, Elk and Bear sightings are common.

This was one of the best places to stay in Montana, electricity and water was a plus, great sites, lake was pristine!

This is a nice campground with a beautiful lake. No hookups. Potable water. No dump. Vault toilets. Sites are spaced out. Lake access is not the greatest for carrying kayaks. Good lake access from day use just before entering campground. $15 night. Some hiking trails.

We bought our trailer a couple miles away, since we drove from Washington we wanted to stay in our new to us trailer. We called they were very friendly and got us a beautiful site by the river.

Great little campsite with the roar of the river.  

Found it by accident a few years back.  It sits above the Lochsa River,  just north and west of the Wilderness Gateway Campground.  

Both campgrounds are great, but this one is a little more rustic and provides easier access from the highway for camp trailers and stock trailers.  

Have to look carefully because it is easy to miss: not well marked...

Great sites big enough to back a trailer in. Sites are close but feel secluded with trees and ferns. Running water was a bonus, after rafting for a week it felt luxurious!

Montana is such a beautiful place to visit. We come every summer but try and hit a new spot in Montana every time. We like experiencing new places, new hikes and new campgrounds! This place was great, definitely met all our needs!! The campground was super clean! We didn’t spot any garbage anywhere when we came! We saw some other reviews that said it was a little dirty, but we didn’t think so! The campsites were decently big, fit our RV perfectly! We stayed 3 nights and loved it. We hiked in the morning nearby, and all were amazing! The hiking in Montana never disappoints. The views are spectacular. We also saw so many deer coming in and out of the campground which we love! This seems to always happen when we stay in Montana :). Lots of chipmunks, birds and deer! We love it. There was a really yummy burger joint down the road that we stopped by on the way to the campground and on our way home! Super good burgers, fries and milkshakes!! The campground has many trees which was great for hanging our hammocks. We hiked in the morning and hung out in the campground in the evening reading in our hammocks. It was pretty relaxing!!
