Dispersed Site - Lolo National Forest Recreation Area
Easy, peaceful and beautiful
So gorgeous! Tent camped along the river! Very spaced out campsites, nice for lots of privacy and quiet! Signs to be aware of bear country but took precautions. Rock fire pits at each site. Super easy for quick stop road tripping (0.5 miles off main road)! Stayed in early September on a road trip to Glacier, was able to find our site decently well in the dark! Verizon cell service 3-4 bars! Loved it!
The west is the only safe way to enter onto the road to the campsites. 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 the west).

Quiet open site on the river
Dispersed camping at the "Peninsula" Recreation Area. 6 day stay limit according to the sign. No potable water. Stone fire rings throughout.
We stayed mid week during August. Stayed in a medium sized site on the river. Small steep slope to the water.
Pros:
Plenty of space, both large and small sites. Room for a 30' in a couple of the sites. 3 bars Tmobile. Some sites on the water with a short steep slope down. 12 miles to gas station. Beautiful views.Cons: No pit toilets (edit: another camper said they are at the end of the campground) No potable water. Road/train noise. POISON IVY (found it... found all of it)
Overall we loved this spot. Being ok the water in a mostly private setting with such amazing views is our goal. Little bit of road noise but hardly noticeable over the wind in the trees.
Sites were clean but well used, so thank you to all the campers that took care of this place!

Peaceful and Beautiful!
I was alone while camping, parked my car at the first fire pit I saw open and it was perfect. Absolutely beautiful river, beautiful spot. Great for fishing, swimming, etc.

Liked it a lot!
Turn onto the road, once you reach end of that road, there’s more spots to the left. If you drive far enough you’ll find pit toilets. We had good service on Verizon and T-Mobile to work. River is beautiful. Would definitely come back

Very convenient, free electric
This location was terrific. Showed up late, got gas, got directions from gas station attendant. Two campgrounds I guess you would call them. It was fourth of July so lots of fireworks coming from campground near buildings. A little road to the back led us to the back lot of sites, probably 8-10 of them, pretty good spacing between them. RV outlets freely available, just hook up and flip the breaker. One breaker controls a large light. Fireworks ended at a reasonable 11pm. Slept well. Felt safe. Thank you very much! Be sure to patronize the restaurant etc.

Free camping!
Great free camping spot for an overnight stay. Far enough from the interstate to eliminate most road noise. There is an overflow lot that is more private but closer to the interstate. 7 sites have free electrical hookups. There are also picnic tables. Would definitely stay again.

Great spot close to town
Stayed here on our way through headed back to Bozeman, Great spot with plenty of room for activities campers, tents, hammocks, and friends. Lots of room for multiple campers. Verizon and Atnt had service the whole time, close to Highway, and railroad so not super quite spot. But overall great overnight pullover spot!

Gotta love free
Our kids love this gift shop. Great stop for a night along I-90. Friendly staff indoors. Yummy milkshakes, knowledgeable locals and electricity in our site. We filled up on groceries, water and WiFi was decent too.

Sloway Campground
Must love trains
We’ve been camping at Sloway for years because I love hearing the trains all night long! If you don’t like train and highway noise, stay far away!
While my hubby flyfishes, I float on the Clark Fork. You can put in right from your campsite, the beach by the pullthru sites, Dry Creek or Superior, then float to your campsite/beach, St Regis, or 14 Mile/Ferry Landing.

Holland Lake Campground
Amazing!
We got one of the FF sites. And lucked out with site 18. Amazing lake front site. Flushing toilets and wood available. Super quiet. Even on 4th July. LOVED it! Highly recommend the waterfall hike too
Sara D.TravelerHolland Lake Campground
Fun June camping
We had a really nice couple of mid week nights here. We couldn’t get two consecutive nights in a row so had to move spots, but it wasn’t a big deal. Our daughter braved a chilly swim and there were lots of dirt roads and little trails for the strider bikes. Bring bug spray, the mosquitos are out. They really go nuts when you first pull in but relax after a few minutes. Keep an eye out for bears. We saw a black bear across the road from the campground. The closest cell service is just outside of Seeley Lake.

Typical Glamping site
Picnic table and fire rings. Not much privacy and close to the road. A lot of relational activities in the area for fishing, rafting, boating, hiking and even. Hot springs within an hour drive

Free campground
Great little spot, free campground with free electric hook ups. There’s a gift shop with a bar and a cafe also a gas station with a bar and casino that has a bar and pool table inside. Motel for non Rvers.

50,000 Silver Dollar Campground
Free camping right off I-90
Pulled in after a quick stop in Missoula, heading West. Stayed one night, pulled in and looked like only 3 other campers, maybe around 10 sites total? I hear it offers free electricity if you have a rig for it. Our site had a fire pit and picnic table. It was located behind the 50,000 silver dollar bar/ motel. So there will be noise from the truckers pulling in/ idling. We set up and went in to enjoy a beverage, got a great deal and got to have nice conversations with the people inside. Loved this quick stop for an evening. Didn’t see any place for garbage or a toilet so we used the facilities inside the bar and gas station.
(Didn’t see any wildlife or evidence of any either)

Sloway Campground
Solid campsite along the river
Good place overall. They close the 21st of September and had the water already shut off on the 20th, which kind of sucked. But other than that the campsite was great and not too far from interstate, so convenient for my roodtrip.

Holland Lake Campground
Good camp spot in a great location
This is a good Forest Service campground in a beautiful spot on Holland Lake. The only issues we had were that it is not terribly remote so there are a lot of huge fifthwheelers who think they should have the best spots and they are willing o fight for them. (It’s always other campers that lower the tone…)

Great overnight location while traveling
Train noise in the morning and evening, I-90 traffic noise most of the day.

FREE RV space w Electric!
A price that can’t be beat! 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.
Plug in your rig and unwind for the night-

A free spot
We stopped here on our way out of Montana (our home state). A winter storm rolled in and made the pass impassable. This is a FREE RV park with electric hookups…no water, cable, or dumping station, but again, FREE. The snow was hitting hard and having electricity was a lifesaver. There is a really good restaurant and bar here as well as a truck stop and gas station. We have a Class A and the spots were plenty big. Lots of dog walking areas too. Perfect in an emergency and great for a short stay. No long terms and is first come first serve.

Must love trains
We ended up not staying here. We didn't know there were trains running all night long. It wouldn't be so bad without the whistle. If only we had earplugs, I think that would have helped a lot. Also, I am downloading a white noise app on my phone. With the two, we most likely could/would have stayed.
The campground itself is just what we look for. Beautiful setting. Wooded for shade. Generous spacing Between sights. Water, in this case the Clark Forks River. Nice host and campers. Shopping (in case we need provisions) without driving far, in this case St. Regis. If we xome back through this was, we will come prepared and give it a try.
