"Loved the walking trail at the top of the park. Grocery just down the street. Very quiet and dark at night. Very friendly host. Nice laundry."
"The site is uniquely situated between the northern plains and Rockies and has excellent views of the mountains to the west and grasslands and buttes to the south."
"There is also a terrific dog park just down the road within walking distance. Great for an overnight and a great price."
"Lots of sites you can drive up to. Views of mountains in far distance. Free to camp - no fires."
"It’s quite, and there are paths around the water. I took a star off because by 9pm I had to retire to my camper because the mosquitoes were so bad - but that’s to be expected."
"Probably 2 miles from highway. Road condition is good gravel. Don’t listen to The Dryt about parking and walking in. You park at your site. Bathroom very clean. No T-Mobile."
"Depending on your clearance, you could park anywhere around the lake. Even with low clearance we still found a fantastic spot. No ATT service, Verizon worked fine though."
"The place is basically flatish land near the willow creek reservoir. The place has pretty normally smelling out houses and is also rv accessible."
"The road is not so washboarded when you leave the campground, and we did ok driving around the lake for about a mile until we found one of the free dispersed sites."
"This place is open year around."
"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."
"Waterslides, Petting Zoo, Swimming Pool. Clean facilities, friendly operators. Spent 3 nights but definitely could have spent longer!"
LegendWe 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.
GuideThere are two loops on either side of a small creek, a dry side and a shaded grassy side. There is also a terrific dog park just down the road within walking distance. Great for an overnight and a great price.
LegendGeneral: 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!
GuideEverthing you could possibly want or need in a campground! Waterslides, Petting Zoo, Swimming Pool. Clean facilities, friendly operators. Spent 3 nights but definitely could have spent longer!
LegendWe 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.
LegendKOA 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

TravelerThis place overall is pretty amazing Parks pool playsets petting zoo it's got all the p's. Perfectly level pad in the trees fire pit and picnic table in your own little grassy area cabins tents glamping RVs tent camping got it all one downside is the internet is super spotty.
TravelerThis 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.
LegendBean 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.
Choteau, Montana, offers a variety of camping options where pets are welcome, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts traveling with their furry friends.
