Best RV Parks & Resorts near Elliston, MT

This is a typical KOA. First the good: Friendly helpful staff until their gone at closing time. Little mini store with a few essentials. Clean bathrooms and showers and clean laundry room with several washers/dryers.$2.00 per load to wash. Can't remember how much to dry. Very cool pinball machine that costs 25 cents per game. Fun fun fun! Another bathroom/shower in middle of park but I never looked inside that one. 65 sites that most have full hook-up and pull-through. A few cool tent sites with gas BBQs. Some cool looking cabins but I never looked inside one. I'm here on 8/24/2024 and RV park is sold out except 3 pull-through sites. All tent sites were full. I don't know about the cabins. Cool playground for kids and large mostly gravel dog run. Edit added: AT&T has 5G and three bars. KOA has wifi but slow slow slow I got 3MPS so instead of KOA wifi I used my iPhone Personal Hotspot that worked great. THE BAD(and reason for only 3 stars): All gravel roads and sites throughout the park. Very close together. Some sites have a very narrow strip of grass. Some of the picknick tables need to be re-painted. Unfortunately while eating breakfast you could be 2 feet away from the next RV dumping their sewer. P.U. The luxury sites don't have that problem. They are at the end of each row and only have a neighbor on the drivers side. I think well worth the extra 17 bucks. Not ADA friendly. Very hard for someone with a walker to get around because of gravel roads/sites. Someone with a wheel chair near impossible. Has a nice handicap shower in main office building. Only problem is that once I take my walker in with me it's very tight and no room to move around. Not EV car friendly. There is a$250 fine and eviction if you plug in your car. The person at the front desk told me the$250 fine and eviction is because EVs overload the outdated system and cause a fire. This KOA is an older one and was wired before EVs. Each individual site has its own 30 amp and 50 amp circuit breaker. Some trees but few and far between. No pool or hot tub. Final thoughts: Make reservations well in advance if you can. This KOA is the best game in town and is mostly sold out in summer. I think(sorry I don't know for sure) there is only one other RV park in town and from what I can tell, it is a much older one. I would proceed with caution before I booked it. Good traveling. See you on the road.

This is a newly developed campground, with two shower houses(rare in Montana) with flush toilets, as well as vault toilets. The sites are all spacious enough to accommodate two vehicles, both towing trailers or boats. There are three types of sites in the campground, Rustic (no water, sewer or electricity ), Electrical Only (no water or sewer) and Full Hook-up (water, sewer and electrical hook-ups). Campground has a store and gas is available. The day use area has a frisbee-golf coarse and beach volleyball. I was very impressed with the campground, leaps and bounds above the old campground.

This is not a place he would stay long term it’s just merely a pitstop. They do have a little riverfront great that runs by it but otherwise it’s just a parking lot.

Well run, clean campground with lots of pull through sites with full hook ups. Efficiently run. Check in was quick and easy with a golf cart escort to my site.  The layout is pretty condensed so I was quite close to my neighbor. Campground was quiet, some road noise outside. An excellent option to break up a drive on I-90.

This is a family owned RV park in Garrison, MT. Helpful hosts. Kid friendly. Gameroom. Laundry. If you want to relax, this is a great stop. Spacious spots, some mountain views. A bit of road traffic noise, but still quiet. A Chapel on the grounds and Sunday services offered. Would recommend.

I was traveling on my own coming home from a holiday weekend. I needed to find a safe comfortable place to sleep for the night. I arrived at 10:30pm and the two gentlemen that greeted me at this RV park could not have been more helpful or kind.

Our stay at Bernie and Sharon’s Riverfront RV Park was absolutely fantastic! The location is stunning – nestled right by the river, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature.

The hospitality was truly exceptional. Bernie and Sharon went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We enjoyed a cozy campfire thanks to their generosity in providing a fire ring and even a couple of logs to get us started. Their thoughtfulness made the experience even more memorable!

We also camped in our Tesla, and the park was fully equipped for EV travelers with a 14-50 amp outlet, making it super convenient to charge our vehicle while we enjoyed the great outdoors.

The amenities were spotless, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. Whether you’re looking to fish, explore the surroundings, or simply unwind by the water, this RV park has everything you need for a perfect getaway.

Thank you, Bernie and Sharon, for an amazing experience! We’ll definitely be back for another unforgettable stay.

The rudest people to deal with, especially an employee named Dan. Do not stay here and do not expect any kind of customer service from this place. Horrible attitude and horrendous manners.

Will never stay here in the future nor recommend this place to anyone! 

Not the only RV Park in the area; the owner should be happy to have business and money coming in!! Rude to the max!!

Enjoyed our stay as a stopover on way south to Big Sky. Large grounds, well maintained with green grass for the kid to run in. Walk to the river is about 3-5 min. Spaces were large. People we met there loved it so much that they’ve come back year and year again. Best of all is the story of the host… offers a safe and fun place, rescued animals, keeps camping costs affordable bc had 9 kids and couldn’t afford to stay at RV parks, etc.

I was staying in Bozeman at the fairgrounds and was tired of being able to"reach out and touch someone", as is my neighbors, so on a whim decided to leave early and give Lost Moose Meadows a try(I'm always skeptical of private RV parks as my preference is more along the lines of state parks/COE campgrounds), and probably the best decision I've made on this trip thus far(3 months in). 

This is a relatively new RV park(opened 6 weeks ago) situated in a valley near a small town(Lincoln, MT) owned/managed by a husband/wife team (Matt& Nichole) who put their heart and soul into building this park (Also, super cool folks, very personable). They built the park from the ground up themselves and it shows they were RVers themselves and built as they would want to enjoy. Each site is like a little oasis with plenty of room to stretch (B3 feels like a 1/2 acre lot, and likely not too far off from it), plenty long enough for even the longest of rigs (some of the pull throughs are over 100 feet long). There isn't a ton of shade however to be expected as the park is new and there will be shade as trees mature. 

Originally I was going to stay here a few nights before continuing west however decided to stay 2 and a half weeks. It's a bit off I-90 however if you're simply looking for a place to stretch out, this is definitely it and worth the trek.

One of our favorite Parks! So much history here and well maintained. Lots of trees and shade! Sharon and her Camp Hosts/ Maintenance staff do a wonderful job keeping this place clean and trimmed.
Terry and Mike meet you at your arrival and usher you to your site. We have a 40’ w/tow and opted for a pull thru for 1 night. Sharon stops by and takes your payment, and checks on if you need anything! Great to have met the matriarch of the Park! They offer Good Sam and Military rates as well!

The campground is nice enough, lots of brown grass throughout the park that if irrigated would look fantastic. There is a base rate for your camp spot the an up-charge of $5 a night if you have an electric spot and another $5 a night if your site has electricity. Using the dump station is $10 if you are not in full hookups, fresh water is available at two fill stations, unfortunately you cannot attach your own water filter to the fill stations as they have a hose that is not threaded and you cannot remove the hose.

THE ROAD….I’ve been on LOTS of washboarded roads in the US deserts and Mexico, but never such an unrelenting brutal one as the one to the campground from the highway. I am not the fly over at high speed guy, You may not feel the bumps in your car but your RV or trailer is being trashed. The road is also extremely dusty. If not for that road I would recommend this park, great facilities, launch ramp, docks but I am already dreading the drive back out.

The bathrooms and showers are spotless! Showers are 3 min for 25 cents.

The office staff and campground Hosts can’t be beat, the very best. They helped me immensely finding a spot during a busy summer week.
