Best Cabin Camping near Choteau, MT

Choteau Mountain View RV Campground offers well-maintained cabin accommodations on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, with most units featuring heating, electrical outlets, and basic furnishings. Cabins vary in size and capacity, with simple layouts suitable for couples or small families. "It was a fun experience beautiful country and nice cabin very comfortable. I'm not a tent camper so this cabin made me happy," noted one visitor to a cabin near Augusta. The West Fork Cabin west of Choteau provides a more rustic experience with toilet facilities but limited amenities, while Ear Mountain Cabin in Helena Lewis And Clark National Forest offers electric hookups and water.

Reservations are essential during summer months when cabins book quickly, especially at popular destinations like the Great Falls KOA. Most cabins have restrictions regarding pets, with several properties explicitly prohibiting animals inside cabin accommodations. KOA-style cabins typically provide more amenities, including proximity to shower facilities, recreation areas, and camp stores. According to one review, the Great Falls KOA features "both comfort and entertainment" with cabin sites situated in wooded areas offering more privacy than standard campgrounds. Kenck Cabin near Choteau provides a more secluded experience with fire rings but lacks modern conveniences.

Most rustic cabin rentals require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking supplies. Basic cabins typically include beds, tables, and chairs, but kitchen facilities range from nonexistent to minimal. Choteau has grocery stores for stocking up on essentials before heading to more remote cabin locations. Cabins with electricity may offer small refrigerators or microwaves, while those without require coolers and shelf-stable food options. Firewood availability varies by location, with some properties providing it for purchase and others requiring visitors to bring their own or gather on-site. Winter cabin rentals generally require additional preparation including extra blankets and emergency supplies due to potential weather conditions.

    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!

    Choteau Mountain View RV Campground

    Great price for amenities!

    We found this campsite on our way to Glacier National Park when we needed a tent site for the evening. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Only $22 for a site without electric hookups or $24 for one that does. The campground is very clean and offers showers, restrooms, laundry, dishwashing station, picnic table, cooking grill, fire pits, and WiFi included.

    Great Falls KOA

    so much fun!

    KOA has everything you need. An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, tent, cabin and rv spots.Outside kitchens. Shower area, small store, playground, and wifi. A lot of room to move around and have fun. You can even winter camp. We really enjoyed camping there and our day trips with the cub scouts.

    Choteau Mountain View RV Campground

    Perfect for What We Needed

    We happened upon this place later in the evening as we were traveling from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone. We were getting worried because it was getting dark. We got to the campsites after hours and the host was kind enough to come out and greet us even though their office had closed. It was $25 for a tent spot. They have clean restrooms and showers, a dishwashing sink, coin-op laundry, games of corn hole, a game/reading room, and a coin-op pool table. Our tent site provided privacy, fire pit, and table. We loved it. We didn’t get to enjoy it much since we got there late and left early, but it was wonderful! We would go back! Only downside was a loud siren going off around 6AM that sounded like an air raid siren from a nearby mill.

    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.

    Great Falls KOA

    Best KOA

    This was the best KOA I’ve ever been to. I’m not a dedicated KOA camper but I’ve been to my fair share and this one takes the cake. The grounds were shaded and kept tidy, the shower+toilet bathroom combo was really nice and super clean. The amenities and camp store were great too. We stayed in the glamping tent for one night, which was a super cool spot with a great view. Unfortunately it rained all night. We were nice and dry but the road up from the glamping tent got muddy and slick. Thankfully we have 4-wheel drive. A 2-wheel drive car may have gotten stuck. Overall it was great and I wish we could have stayed longer!


Guide to Choteau

Cabin accommodations near Choteau, Montana provide a gateway to exploring the Rocky Mountain Front, where the Great Plains meet the dramatic eastern face of the Rockies. The region sits at elevations between 3,800-4,000 feet, creating distinct temperature variations between day and night even in summer months. Winter cabin users should prepare for subzero temperatures and significant snowfall between November and March, while summer visitors can expect daytime temperatures reaching into the 80s.

What to do

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The region surrounding Choteau Mountain View RV Campground serves as prime habitat for various wildlife species. "We stayed several days to explore the area where the prairie meets the Rocky Mountains. Lots of dirt road, but wonderful views. Also visited the waterfowl area and Freezout Lake. Very Montana," notes one visitor to Choteau Mountain View RV Campground.

Hiking access: Cabins offer convenient bases for exploring nearby trails. The West Fork Cabin area provides access to multiple trail systems leading into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The walking path at Choteau Mountain View receives positive mentions, with one camper noting "Loved the walking trail at the top of the park. Grocery just down the street. Very quiet and dark at night."

Day trip exploration: Cabin accommodations provide strategic positioning for regional exploration. "We found this campsite on our way to Glacier National Park when we needed a tent site for the evening," shares a reviewer about Shelby RV Park & Resort, which offers cabin options approximately 60 miles north of Choteau and serves as a convenient stop when traveling the Highway 89 corridor.

What campers like

Cleanliness standards: Well-maintained facilities receive consistent praise from cabin guests. "The staff were exceptionally nice and the facilities very clean. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this 'hidden' gem," reports a visitor to Choteau Mountain View RV Campground.

Convenient amenities: On-site features enhance the cabin camping experience. "KOA has everything you need. An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, tent, cabin and rv spots. Outside kitchens. Shower area, small store, playground, and wifi," notes a camper at Great Falls KOA, located about 50 miles southeast of Choteau.

Quiet surroundings: The peaceful atmosphere ranks highly among cabin users. "It was a very nice stopover. The park is well-kept. Hookups worked well. Spacious setup. Very quiet and dark at night," shares a Choteau Mountain View guest. This location provides distance from highway noise while maintaining accessibility.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin access varies significantly by location. "You can even winter camp," mentions a Great Falls KOA visitor, though many Forest Service cabins require snowmobile or ski access during winter months. Most facilities around Choteau operate seasonally from May through October.

Limited connectivity: Cell service and internet availability vary widely. "The wifi worked only in that immediate area," notes one camper about reception limited to the main office area. Another mentions, "Good wifi, adequate cell coverage for Verizon and AT&T" at Choteau Mountain View, highlighting inconsistent service throughout the region.

Reservation requirements: Forest Service cabins require advance planning. Kenck Cabin, located west of Choteau, requires reservations through the national recreation reservation system, with bookings available up to six months in advance. During peak summer months, weekend availability becomes limited 3-4 months ahead.

Tips for camping with families

Recreation options: Family-friendly activities enhance cabin stays for children. "The area we stayed in is for medium sized rigs or smaller. It was wooded and very nice for a KOA. Fun pool park, playground, petting zoo, short trail. Great ice cream," describes a visitor to Great Falls KOA.

Site selection: Family groups should consider specific layout needs. "We stayed 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," explains a KOA camper, describing options that work well for families requiring multiple sleeping spaces.

Necessary supplies: Family cabin users need to prepare accordingly. At Kenck Cabin, visitors must bring all bedding, cooking supplies, and food. The cabin provides only basic shelter and furnishings, requiring families to pack extensively, especially for those with small children who need specific comfort items.

Tips from RVers

Hookup considerations: RV campers using cabins as secondary accommodations should verify connections. "Not all spots have water but most do. Make sure you have a long water hose as some of the water connections are far away," advises a visitor to Shelby RV Park & Resort.

Site spacing concerns: Space between units varies significantly by location. "Big park, nature trail out the back that was interesting and some animals like in the old style KOA's. I really liked the tent area and shelters on the far side, they looked brand new," notes a camper, while another mentions "camper sites were very close together" at a different location.

Leveling issues: Site conditions affect comfort levels. "It seems like several of the sites need to be cleaned up and re-leveled," mentions one camper, contrasting with another's report of "level sites" at a different location, highlighting the importance of checking current site conditions when bringing an RV to cabin-offering campgrounds.
