Best RV Parks & Resorts near Columbia Falls, MT

Columbia Falls houses several RV parks with full hookups close to Glacier National Park. Columbia Falls RV Park provides 75 sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections on mostly level gravel pads. The sites accommodate larger rigs but are positioned quite close together. "Overall nice RV park, but spots are way too close. And length of spots seem to be slightly exaggerated. My 36' 5th wheel barely fit in spot front to back," noted one visitor about the spacing limitations. Mountain View RV Park offers concrete pads with full hookups but prohibits campfires, while LaSalle RV Park provides amenities for larger motorhomes with 50-amp electrical service and pull-through sites that simplify parking for longer combinations.

Late September through mid-October marks the transition to seasonal closures for many area parks. Several facilities including Mountain Meadow RV Park close by October 1st, while year-round options like Columbia Falls RV Park continue operating with reduced amenities. Road access to most parks requires navigating Highway 2, which remains well-maintained but can experience heavy tourist traffic during peak summer months. Cell service varies substantially between parks, with stronger coverage in Columbia Falls proper compared to locations closer to Glacier National Park. Dump stations are available at most RV parks, though during off-season some facilities may close their sanitary stations. Pets are generally permitted throughout the area's RV parks, though specific containment rules vary by property.

    St Mary Campground - Glacier National Park — Glacier National Park

    Dry Camping Surrounded by Magnificent Mountains

    Three large loops, some with modest shade, others in the wide open (the latter type with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains).  All a bit scruffy looking, but serviceable.  Low on amenities (no electricity, water faucets scattered about) and relatively tight pull-through spaces, but all have a fire ring and picnic table.  Well patrolled by rangers, with a daily evening program in the summer. As others have mentioned, timed entry tickets are not needed at the St. Mary entrance to the park, so you can head into the park any time you like.  Added bonus: if you are camping with a travel trailer (and thus not able to drive the Going-to-the-Sun road because of length limitations), you are allowed to park your trailer in the the RV section of the St. Mary Visitor Center parking lot for the day, and drive in with your car alone.  We were there in late June/early July: don't know if this option is  available when the very high season hits in later July and August.

    Fish Creek Campground — Glacier National Park

    Great sites, good location

    Fish Creek campground within Glacier National Park is a great place to stay on the west side of the park. It’s within a short walk to beautiful Lake McDonald. There are no electrical or water hookups available, but there is a dump station on the way out. The bathrooms have clean flush toilets and sinks, but no soap provided. Loop A showers have great water pressure and hot water. There are plenty of water spigots throughout the campground. There are several bear proof food storage sites as well. The Fish Creek amphitheater hosts fantastic ranger talks almost every night during the summer. Most if not all of the sites in loop A are pull through, but they can be very tight for a mid size travel trailer. During our stay sit was quiet and peaceful even though every site was full. Excellent National Park campground!

    Glacier Meadow RV Park

    The Meadows

    We booked this campgrounds so we could visit Glacier National Park. If that is your intent you need to get Go to the Sun Highway access tickets way in advance. We got luck and were able to visit the Highway by taking the bus trip.

    The campground is about 45 minutes from the Going to the Sun Highway. It is a beautiful drive.

    The campgrounds is on a meadow. It is very clean and well carried for. The showers are hot, sometimes too hot. 😃 Manager was very informative. It is a quiet campgrounds with a pleasant mix of seniors and families.

    My campsite, number 34, has water, 30 Amp, 50 Amp, fire pit, and a picnic table. There is lots of room to park additional vehicles.

    The only issue is there is no cellular service unless you use there Verizon booster in the pavilion. The wifi is weak. I have a booster which gives me enough wifi to check my phone and watch movies. I found nothing else to complain about.

    Sundance Campground & RV Park

    Lots to be desired

    I reserved a site at Sundance when I couldn't find any other campgrounds close to Glacier National Park that had availability for our 40 ft Super C. It was reasonable in price compared to others, but...

    First the pros:

    1. We had a pull through site.
    2. Plenty of space for our towed Jeep to park.
    3. Beautiful trees and wild huckleberry bushes provided a peaceful setting and some privacy.
    4. It is minutes from the West Glacier entrance.

    Cons:

    1. No sewer at the sites. There is a dump station you can use on the way out.
    2. The sites are level, but just barely.
    3. Instead of a sturdy dumpster or bear-proof receptacles, there are old fashioned galvanized cans with unattached lids. All of them were completely full the three days we were there.
    4. The dog run is unkempt and has no doggie bags or even a garbage can for waste.
    5. Although the trees are nice, they are so close to the parking area that we were unable to extend our awning.
    6. The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, but only one of each works.
    7. The whole place is terribly unkempt. "Rustic" is being generous. "Junky and trashy" is more accurate.

    It is too bad that the owner, who was very nice but obviously trying to run this place all by himself, appears to have given up trying to make a nice place. There are junk cars and RVs surrounding the campground and I don't think a weed whacker has been used for years.

    I would have been okay with paying $50 a night for this place, not $90.

    St Mary/East Glacier KOA

    Level with great amenities

    easy to find. nice views. nice showers with hot water. pull throughs were level and nice and long. Came with picnic table and fire pit. Guests were quite and had great camp ground etiquette. Had a nice big dog run. the Store was great with food, souvenirs, and ice cream!

    It is expensive but was 6 mins from east gate glacier. Had great Glacier views. Lots of dumpsters around for easy access. close to gas and shops. nice big hot tub and pool.

    We enjoyed ourselves here.

    Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins

    Came for a couple of nights, stayed 6

    This is a small, family owned native American campground. While not perfect, we ended up staying 6 nights. We had no reservations and called around. They were very accommodating. We loved how convenient it was to St. Mary (1 block) and the Many Glaciers road turnoff at Babb (8 miles). Some sites so have mountain views. Although only 2 bathrooms with showers (1 each for men & women) they were very nice with current decorating. There are new power poles in the big rig section for 50 amp. However, there is no breaker on the pole. We used a 30 amp reducer and on the 3rd night, our power relay switch fried. We had to go to Great Falls for repairs (Martin's RV Repair is the bomb). They couldn't be sure, but think it may have been a power surge, not a lose wire. The roads around the campground were dirt and not smooth. Not too bad though. The big rig section was level, gravel sites with grass area and picnic tables. No shade. The other areas for 30 amp and tent/car camping are tree shaded. The wifi could only be reached at the office. No cell at all. They do have 2 washers and 1 dryer. $2 each. This is definitely not a resort. They do try hard to accommodate. Would we go back. Yes, but only if we could get a 30 amp (our rig usage) site.

    Awesome scenery and hikes close by. Going to the Sun road is amazing. Hidden Lake Overlook is not to be missed. PRO NOTE: If you like steak, Cattlemen in Babb (the only rest.) makes the best steak and lamb per hubby. Avoid the Salmon, though.

    Polson Motorcoach and RV Resort

    The Nicest KOA We’ve seen

    First, as we were driving up to the site, I saw these large Class A motorhomes with gazebos and lush green lawns and thought “I wish I knew about this RV park before booking,” only to find out it was the KOA! The sites are leveled, gravel pads on a hill, with a wooden deck, railings, 2 waste water hookups, and super clean facilities. The pool and hot tub were nice and clean. The staff, including the young man who escorted us to our site on check-in, were hospitable. Finally, there is a nice view of Flathead Lake. This is a destination KOA and only an hour from Glacier National Park.

    Rocky Mountain Hi Campground

    Nice FHU Site in Kalispell

    After boondocking for a long while we wanted a FHU site to enjoy the A/C and flush the tanks. This park is out of town and offers nice amenities. Good Verizon cell signal and close to all the area attractions; Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, & Glacier NP. We were assigned a pull through (07) that offered decent space between sites and had lots of shade trees.


Guide to Columbia Falls

Columbia Falls sits at the doorway to Glacier National Park at an elevation of 3,087 feet. RV camping options near Columbia Falls range from heavily wooded sites with mountain views to open facilities with full hookups. Most campgrounds remain open from May through early October, with overnight temperatures dropping into the 30s even during peak summer months.

What to do

Fishing pond access: Mountain Meadow RV Park and Cabins maintains a fishing pond on their property that campers praise for its accessibility. "The fishing and pond area was clean and well kept. Super close to the park entrance," notes Tracy O. about the facility located 10 minutes from West Glacier entrance.

Rodeo nights: The weekly Thursday night rodeo during summer months provides authentic Montana entertainment. "Close to the grocery(Super 1 Foods) and 2 miles from the rodeo grounds and Blue Moon Nite Club where they have a weekly Thursday Rodeo in the summer. It was fun!" shares a visitor at Mountain View RV Park.

Biking paths: Several campgrounds connect directly to biking routes leading toward Glacier. At North American RV Park & Yurt Village, one camper mentioned, "Rented a ebike from rental place next door and was able to ride ebike to the park on a walking trail," demonstrating the accessible non-vehicle options for park access.

What campers like

Private bathroom facilities: Many RV parks near Columbia Falls feature individual bathroom units rather than communal facilities. "Bathrooms were amazing! 2 large stalls and 3 large showers, 1 was handicap. Very clean, nice tile and spacious," writes Kimberly W. about Columbia Falls RV Park.

Natural camping spaces: Despite being developed sites, several parks maintain wooded areas. A camper at Mountain Meadow RV Park and Cabins noted, "Spacious campsites nestled in the trees with full hookups or electric and water only. Firepits and picnic tables gives you the authentic camping feel."

Dog-friendly amenities: Pet areas are a priority for many campers. "Great dog park, kids area ok, walking distance to store. Driving (15 min) to Glacier National Park," explains a visitor at North American RV Park, highlighting the practical amenities that matter to pet owners.

What you should know

Train noise: Railway lines run close to most Columbia Falls campgrounds. "Like a lot of RV parks from Whitefish over to the park, trains come through frequently. Closer to the front you don't hear it as much, but the trade off is the hwy noise," explains Nancy C. from Sundance Campground & RV Park.

Limited wifi and connectivity: Most campgrounds offer wifi but performance varies considerably. A visitor at Sundance noted, "Wifi is iffy unless you are close to the office. AT&T was decent for 4G only," while Mountain View campers report needing to "Hotspot on cell for video calls and Netflix."

Sites vary in levelness: Not all camping pads provide ready-to-park surfaces. At Sundance, "Some sites are level, some will require a little work. Some sites are larger than others so I suggest you look at the sites available before committing if possible."

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Several RV sites near Columbia Falls include play areas. "There is also a small basketball court. Minimal bugs- just a few knats that would seek out the lights at night," notes a Mountain View RV Park visitor, highlighting the practical recreation spaces available.

Local attractions: The area offers numerous family activities beyond the national park. "Lots of things for kids and teens close by. Amazing Fun Center, Glacier Highline, Putt Putt in West Glacier and many others," according to a review from West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort, which is located less than a mile from the park entrance.

Evening activities: Some campgrounds organize community events. "They light a group campfire at 7 PM every night for great conversations about what folks saw each day," mentions Michael G., emphasizing the social opportunities at West Glacier RV & Cabin Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: RV drivers consistently note the importance of checking actual site measurements. "Parking my truck was easy and getting into town was quick. Perfect for what my trip needed!" notes Sean L. about the newly developed Clyde's Camp, which maintains wooded sites while accommodating vehicles.

Hookup locations: Several campgrounds have utilities positioned in ways that affect RV parking. At West Glacier RV Park, a visitor observed the "power pedestal way forward so it's either park your tow vehicle behind your trailer or have a lot of length for all your connections."

Laundry considerations: Facilities vary significantly between parks. North American RV Park users appreciate that "Laundry and bath houses were very clean," while others note limited machines at smaller parks: "The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, but only one of each works."
