Best Campgrounds near Clancy, MT

This was our first stop after leaving Yellowstone.  Drove up to Butte because my husband wanted to go to a local exhibition that was happening that weekend and see Our Lady of the Rockies.  I didn't really walk around the campground, but it seemed like a smaller KOA.  It is easy to find right off the interstate.  I thought perhaps the highway noise would be an issue, but it was not.  As we were a week into our 2 week trip, I used our down time here to do some laundry.  The laundry room was in back of the store/main office where you register when you arrive.  I believe it was open 24 hours.  To my delight, you could also order pizza in the store.  I think they could have brought it to our site, but I couldn't remember the site number when I ordered so I just went back in about 30 min to get my order.  It was very simple, you only had two options--pepperoni or cheese, but the pizza was hot and tasted decent.  Not at all what I expected.  We did partake of the pool, which my toddler thought was fantastic and there was a small older playground next to the pool.  This KOA is right next to the Butte Visitor's Information Bureau and some nice looking walking trails.  We were in a site with full hook-ups, gravel pad with concrete patio, grill, firepit, picnic table and two rocking chairs.  I would have loved to spend some time in the rocking chairs had we not had some wonderful thunderstorms.  Had great cell service with Verizon as this campground is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Butte.

This was our second stop on the way to Yellowstone.  When we arrived, my husband went in to register and a fellow in a golf cart met us to escort us to our spot.  When he double checked the spot, he said, hold on, I think someone is in that spot, and off he went to physically look.  When we saw him again, he was going into the office.  Once he came back to us, he had a new spot for us, which he said, "I think you'll like this one better."  And we did!  Our "new" spot was in the back of the park on an end.  We had some lovely views!  In any case, I can't really comment on too much more since we really did arrive later.  We had to get set up, have dinner, and then put the little to bed so there wasn't much time at all to do any exploring around the campground.  We had a pull through site, gravel, full hook-ups.  Our 32ft 5th wheel and tow vehicle fit nicely in the spot, though we did back the truck in a little cock-eyed due to it's length.  Good connectivity with Verizon.  There seemed to be shade through out, our space included, with the exception of the premium spots.  They were the row all along the very back behind where we were.  They looked like newer additions and so there was not much shade back there.  All in all, this KOA was clean and quiet.  It was a nice spot for an overnight stop.

Skip the first entrance on the right and go to the second or third to get to the NF land before you go to the marina. There isn't much shade anywhere except on the west side of the Bay. Vault toilets and fire pits and picnic tables provided and there is free drinking and washing water at the marina including ice sales and quarter pay showers and a boat ramp. Anyone can use the boat ramp that there are no launching facilities elsewhere. Shore is Rocky but beautiful with fantastic sunsets to the west over the hills across the reservoir but again, very little shade.
