Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Bonner, MT

Nice amenities (mini golf, horse shoes, pool, dog park), close enough to town. Grass at our site.

This is a very well cared for campground. Beautiful flowers, trees, landscaping throughout the park. Very clean and loved. Store has a bit of everything you need. Fenced in dog park. Clean bathrooms and laundry facilities. Very enjoyable stay!

Gird Point Campground which is located in the Bitterroot National Forest is gorgeous. I love camping in Montana- I honestly have never had a bad experience camping anywhere in Montana. Gird Point is definitely no exception. My favorite part about this campsite is that it is located at the top of a peak. Camping on this peak definitely has gorgeous views, no doubt. There are three different mountain ranges that you are able to look out and see. Honestly, this is the best thing to wake up to. Talk about picturesque. You are able to stay in the lookout which has two beds that you are able to put your sleeping bags/pads on, and the lookout sleeps 4 people. When I went, we did have 4 people and it fit us pretty well. There is also a wood stove that works great for heating up water and cooking. The lookout also comes with some utensils and other amenities. Obviously, you do need to bring your own bathing supplies, sleeping supplies, food and drinks. You are able to drive to a certain point and then you do have to hike the remainder of the length to the lookout. The hike isn't too bad.

If you're looking for a sleepy spot to relax and enjoy that isn't inundated with tourists, this is the place. This lovely lake campground has spacious sites, most are level and graveled, picnic tables, pit toilets, potable water on site, a lodge style restaurant for meals and drinks, and hiking trails right from the campground. Everything is kept neat and tidy, and the boat launch is not far from the campground. The launch is very shallow, so you're not going to get a surf boat in, or a large pontoon boat either, which is part of why this lake is still peaceful. Lots of opportunity to kayak, paddle board and swim. It's pet friendly, and campers regularly leave their water toys, kayaks, canoes, etc., on the shoreline during their stay with no fear of them being stollen. The hike to Holland Falls is suitable for beginners and children, but be aware that it's rocky when you reach the falls, and dogs and children should be supervised in that area. There are both black and grizzly bears that frequent this area daily, so be very careful with your food, and bear aware when hiking. My last stay was only 2 nights, and I ran into two bears, one that strolled right by my trailer. This is my favorite camp ground for an escape from reality!

I loved this campsite, that is until the recent remodel. They were all dog friendly and now dogs must remain on a leash and the sites are on top of one another. Just other place that's lost its charm

The campground is clean and well maintained.  Bathrooms and laundry room were clean and in good order.  They are a little picky about the grass and flowers, but it seems to work as the park was green and well maintained.  The only negative is the trains.  If you are a light sleeper you might have problems, although they did not bother me.  They don't want the dog to destroy the grass of flower in the RV park but there are large areas front and back to let your dog run.

This cabin is so lovely, my dogs had a blast playing in the stream. I was happy to have a big real bed!

Campsites are close together but there is nice trails, clean vault toilets, picnic tables. Dog friendly but not near the lake.

Water accessable, clean toilets, excellent campground host. Close to lolo hot springs. Lots of shade. Dogs allowed on leashes. East pull in sites, close to national forest, and lee creek.

The NPS designated a host for this park. I talked with him for at least 30min. Very pleasant older couple manages the site and keeps it very clean. Loved the stay but my next visit will be further from the road in my tent. Dogs Tents RVs welcome

The grounds are clean. But if you are camping and here for the camping life, they don’t allow fires unless it’s in their fire ring and only a few camp sites have fire rings. We asked if we could use our fire pit that we brought (solo stove) and they said no. And there are no communal fire rings. What’s camping without a fire at night? They also don’t allow charcoal grills. And they don’t provide any grilling area. They have a washing machine. But it only washes in cold. And they don’t have a dryer. There are a lot of rules and A LOT of fees for little things that you can do wrong. -fee if you check in late -fee if you check out late -fee if your dog is on a leash longer than 6ft -fee if your dog poops or pees in the wrong area -no totable black and grey disposal allowed - but you can pay a fee of $25 to have them come dump your tanks. 🙄

Wish we had stayed somewhere else. We just felt like we were going to break any little nit-picky rule and get fined.

But it is clean.

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!

Nothing too wild about this site, but nice views and relatively quiet. Sites are along a small side road that Patel’s off the main road, with a few pretty clean pit toilets. We saw one spigot as well. Each site had parking, picnic table, and fire pit. Campsites on the creek side butt right up to the bluffs above the creek, so make sure to keep little ones and dogs close at hand! Very close to the welcome creek trailhead which is definitely worth an afternoon - although be warned, welcome creek trail is not super popular and this will require some bushwhacking. As well, there is a pretty sketchy single-log “bridge” you must traverse if you’re still in a high flow season. The suspension bridge over rock creek definitely has a great view though and is worth a look at!

Efficient, well maintained campground. It was a very businesslike vibe which I can appreciate growing up in NY, but it was intense after leaving the last campground we came from. The owner was super laid back and you didn't feel like you were going to put a foot wrong. We signed a long list of terms and conditions/rules, certain breeds of dogs arent allowed for insurance purposes I'm sure , etc. We had a lab/boxer mutt, but it wasn't an issue.

The employees were constantly running around keeping up with the place and kindly showed us to our camp spot. They had a golf game around the property and trail to the river. It was a nice campground for a one night stay. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Our spot was level and east to access. Campground was also super close to Missoula and we were able to run a bunch of errands. Try Biga Pizza while in town!

Great friendly and clean place to stay in Missoula Montana!

The park was very clean and the staff very nice. Lots of shade to keep cool during the hot Montana summer. We wish we would have stayed a few more nights. The train noise is not as bad as previous posts and actually looks pretty cool chugging along the mountain side. Lots to do in Missoula and surrounding areas. I recommend heading out to gem mountain for some Montana sapphire hunting. Fun day trip, and was great for the kids
