Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Choteau, MT

108 Reviews

Choteau Mountain View RV Campground welcomes pets at its family-run facility with full hookup sites and tent camping areas. The campground maintains clean facilities including restrooms, showers, laundry, and a mini-golf course where campers can bring leashed pets. Choteau City Park also permits pets in its camping area, which features two loops on either side of a small creek—one dry side and one shaded grassy side. Most visitors find the park quiet and appropriate for overnight stays, though some tent campers opt to sleep in their vehicles instead. The park charges $10 per night with a three-night maximum stay and provides a dump station and drinking water access. Several tent campers report feeling more comfortable with their dogs at Mountain View for its cleaner facilities and more defined sites.

Dispersed camping options near Choteau include Freezout Lake Wildlife Management Area, where pets must be kept under control while exploring the shoreline. The free camping area includes a clean pit toilet but no other facilities, requiring visitors to pack out all trash. Mosquitoes become problematic in the evening, and gusty winds often occur at night, making it important to secure pet supplies and belongings. Bynum Reservoir, located about 10 miles from Choteau, offers isolated camping with picnic tables and fire pits where pets can enjoy shoreline areas. Trails around both water bodies provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs. A terrific dog park is located within walking distance of Choteau City Park, providing a convenient option for pets needing off-leash exercise after traveling.

    Great Falls KOA

    Good for families with kids

    We don’t have kids and so our pull through site missed on what is important to me ( at this expensive price point): nice manicured paved site with shade. The park does have a decent sized area to walk your dog and has a small off leash dog park. Fire pits are a plus. Pool has to be any kids dream with slides and a lot of toys. They also have a petting zoo. The park did its job for our overnight stay but I was happy to leave. Oh, pull through sites are good sized and hookups were quality.

    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 City Park

    Gets the Job done

    We were driving from Glacier to Yellowstone and didn't have a campsite.  Found this city park right off the highway going through Choteau that allowed camping in the park for just $10.  Seemed kind of sketchy when we pulled in in the dark at 10pm, but it served its purpose.  Looked like there was only one other camper when we were there.  Just needed to leave $10 in the pay box or pay online via QR code.

    Great Falls KOA

    Wooded Area and Open Area and Fun

    KOA 8/24: The area we stayed in is for medium sized rigs or smaller. It was wooded and very nice for a KOA. The larger spaces are in a newer and less shady portion of the campground.
    FUN POOL PARK, PLAYGROUND, PETTING ZOO, SHORT TRAIL. GREAT ICE CREAM

    Great Falls KOA

    One relaxing night

    This camp has a lot of both comfort and entertainment. There’s a petting zoo and a mini water park. The bathrooms are an individual room with both toilet and shower stall. There is a laundry facility. Found greater comfort and service here than if I had parked my Roof Top Tent at an RV site and it was $20-$30 cheaper per night.

    Bean Lake

    Bean Lake

    Bean Lake is a Montana FWP fishing access site. The 200 acre lake lying along the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front near the Scapegoat Wilderness. Their are two access points to the lake with in the FAS, each has an outhouse. Their is a boat ramp to the lake. The primary fish species in the lake are rainbow trout, which are planted each year by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.

    If you plan to fish Bean Lake, the odds are high you’ll have the lake to yourself. Few people ever bother to visit this remote lake.

    Montana FWP list the site as having 8 sites, but it just looks like a dispersed camping area. Found only one picnic table and the only fire rings were made from rocks. Camping appears to be free as their are no signs or fee stations. You have to look carefully to find the camping areas due to their being no signs. Once you spot the lake look for the outhouses. You are out in the open at this FAS not a tree to be seen. No water (except for what is in the lake) and no trash bins.
