Cabin City Campground in Lolo National Forest features spacious pet-friendly sites with substantial privacy between campsites. Dogs are permitted throughout the campground but must be kept on leash at all times. The camping area offers both reservable and first-come-first-served sites, with approximately half of each type available. RVs and tents are accommodated, with several sites large enough for vehicles up to 31 feet in length. Pet owners should note that bear boxes are provided but may be located at some distance from individual campsites. Camp hosts enforce leash regulations strictly, particularly for larger breeds or dogs that might appear intimidating to other campers.
50,000 Silver Dollar Campground provides free camping with electric hookups for RVs traveling with pets. Located just off Interstate 90, this convenient overnight stop allows dogs while offering several practical amenities for pet owners. The main campground area contains approximately 7-10 sites with reasonable spacing between them, plus an overflow section that offers more privacy but sits closer to highway noise. Pets should be kept leashed in camping areas due to proximity to roads and facilities. The nearby gas station, restaurant, and gift shop make this a practical choice for travelers needing supplies while camping with dogs. Campground users note that despite the interstate location, the area remains relatively quiet for sleeping, with truck noise generally subdued at night.
"I was surprised how nice this was since it's just about 5 minutes from the highway. You feel miles away - absolutely no noise. It's super clean and pretty."

Check Availability"We stopped here on our way out of Montana (our home state). A winter storm rolled in and made the pass impassable."
"Several spaces available behind the restaurant/ bar and casino- Tucked into the woods but road close- you can walk over for a meal, snack, coffee etc or some delightfully cheesey souvenirs."
"Great spot to find at the end of a long drive day. Just the kind of Rv spot for Montana. Trees & stars in big sky country. The layout was nice with lots of spots to choose from."
"We followed our RV GPS to the CG that is near I-90, but far enough away that you don’t hear highway noise."
"Plenty of green space for pets. The only downside was the freeway noise."
"I have to say, if you can, visit when the Flathead Lake Cherries are in season. Omg! The BEST cherries I have ever had. Exiting at St. Regis, I had to stop to get."
"Cross the bridge at the exit and there is a wide turn around. I'd pull my teardrop down here, but unsure about longer trailers."
"Just as described by other reviews, it’s right off the highway and right by the creek. About 50 yards away is an outhouse next to a few RV’s."
"It’s right next to the river with a small boat launch."

Check Availability"Thompson SP, Montana Very quiet, remote and sandy. Did an overnight here after a KOA so you can imagine the differences! There is a “garage” set up as the park office."
"Montana is special in every way."
from $14 - $56 / night
Check Availability"On the map, it looks like you can enter/exit either way from 135… but the east side of the road to get back onto 135 is impossible… so we just had to turn around and exit the same way we came in (from"
"Arrived very late in the dark on Friday night coming back from Canada, and found an amazing site next to the river which drowned out all surrounding noise."
"There are a couple of pit toilets spaced pretty far apart on this road so unless you get a spot right next to them, it's a bit of a walk. Pretty area, pretty secluded."
"Click the one a little south east next to the river titled “Dispersed Site - Lolo National Forest Recreation Area”. This is the right location. Good spot."
"Pet friendly. Quiet. Plenty of space between you and other campers. A river right by you. What more could you want?"
"There’s a river nearby that’s great for fishing or swimming. The campgrounds has fire pits ready to go and well maintained. There’s plenty of space between you and your neighbor."
TravelerGreat spot to stay especially if you’re visiting Wallace for a festival or stopover. Within walking distance to charming downtown. Very friendly staff. Some spots border a small river. Pet friendly. All gravel spots with cabins in other side of the river. No laundry but restaurant and bar on property.
GuideThis hike into the lakes is not for the faint of heart, but the most breath taking views of Montana at its finest. There are plenty of Brook trout and huckleberries to eat at each trail and lake. There is also a lot of wild life, including mountain goats, moose, deer, and elk. Please make sure when bringing pets that they know not to chase these animals and always look at fire reports before heading into this area.
GuideI was a bit apprehensive when the sign read, “RV park, casino” (restaurant, motel).....but! This place is nice. Sites are close, so prepare to be friendly. Highway is close by as well, so you will hear some traffic noise. A train occasionally runs slowly across the river. Campground nicley maintained. But, the lawnmower is out there everyday!!! Loud and unneeded. Shower and Laundry available. Nice quiet road to walk pets. And beautiful view of river and mountainside.
TravelerClean park with beautiful creekside camping. Friendly employees and a convenient Brew Pub within walking distance. Grassy areas at sites and very pet friendly.
Road next the RV Park is very busy! It does slow down after dark but be prepared for road noise during daylight hours.
TravelerFriendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious restrooms and showers. Plenty of green space for pets. The only downside was the freeway noise.
ScoutNicely spaced out sites! Pet and family friendly. Short drive to a beautiful lake or river with hot springs. Clean outhouse bathrooms, no showers. Friendly hosts. There is currently no water hookups due to COVID. Seems to be a popular area, so recommend reservations, but we got lucky and found a site on a Friday.
LegendGreat campsite!! Overlooking the water with boating docks, Camper sites, water and restrooms. Metal Fire pits for cooking, awnings for picnics, grassy areas for play, pets allowed, reception areas as well. Good times with friends!!
GuideThis is by far one of my favorite camping spots. Dispersed. Pet friendly. Quiet. Plenty of space between you and other campers. A river right by you. What more could you want? Oh and it’s right by a hot springs resort, in case you want to take a dip while you’re camping.
LegendThis is a really fun spot a little ways off busy Hwy. 93. You got your mini golf, outdoor go carts, paddle boats, arcade, donkey petting, pizza and all level of camp sites - ‘dry’ non-water sites around $50-60/night, glamping yurt-like structures (more expensive) and cabins (higher wallet sucking). The dry sites are in a pretty forest area a bit off from all the shiny, gigantic RVs (this is Whitefish after all), so that’s a nice touch. This is a light-hearted, full service and colorful spot, though scenically not an ‘A’ in this gorgeous of a state and not all that budget friendly if your idea of a good time doesn’t involve pinball or Skittles.
