Best RV Parks & Resorts near Essex, MT

Great facilities and friendly staff. About 20 mins outside of West Glacier. Mostly RV hook ups, but it does have 3 tent spots. Only drawback is it is noisy, since it is in the city.

I lucked into this site due to the local state parks being booked up and the friendly advice of a campground host. This is a private, tribal run campground about half way up the eastern shore of Flathead Lake. This well run and clean campground has lots to offer- separate dry sites from RV hook up sites, showers, a boat ramp/marina, lodges for tribal activities, sites right on the lake, swimming docks, and ice at the entrance. My site is right on the lake! The only down side is that while there are some trees and shrubs, there isn’t much privacy and sites are pretty small. All sites have the standard picnic table and fire pit, and there are some water spigots and trash cans scattered around the campground. In the evening the sea gulls start circling the campsites looking for handouts or opportunities to snag some free food, so watch your food when you start to cook (and after!).

This RV park is a quaint little place in a nice forested setting. The rates were reasonable, some sites were full hook up and some were electric and water only. They also had hot showers and laundry facilities. I would definitely stay there again.

Super-friendly family RV park near the western edge of Glacier National Park. When I say friendly, I mean really friendly. After spending the whole day driving on the "Going to the Sun" road through the park and not finding any spots open, we ended up at San Suz Ed (now called Moose Creek RV Park) which was also full, but they had a large empty field nearby that they allowed for overflow tent camping for $30+.

Showers, laundry, toilets all on-site. Full hookups for RVs. Tasty small cafe in main building where we had breakfast. While the sites are nothing special, the friendliness is the real charm of the place.

Stayed here as part of a 12 day vacation. Nice small rv park just behind a hotel which muffled the street noise a bit. I'd say 40% ish of the park is long term residents, but they were all friendly and stoped by to talk and talk about our rig. The couple who run it are incredibly nice. We were about 75 yards from the showers/bathroom which was nice. This was the first time for us to stay in an RV site with the roof top tent which we took advantage of with an electric heater and blanket for the nights. It was needed because it was high 30's in the mornings. The Glacier Nation Park gate was about 25 miles away. There were a ton of great restaurants and shops near by. I'd highly recommend stopping by the Army Navy Surplus store next to the rv park! I could see if your towing a fifth wheel or have a long setup this location could be a tight squeeze. Ohhhh yeah there is this town siren that goes off every night at 10p sharp...there is a reason behind this with some history, pretty cool...I'll let you look into that!!

This is a big RV resort close to West Glacier town and park entrance. We came with our 25’ RV and reserved a tent pad site to ensure we were up against the edge of the resort. As far as RV resorts go, this is probably as nice as it gets. Just be ready to be surrounded by big pickup trucks and massive fifth wheelers. And be ready to pay up, because it’s not cheap.

Full hookups and nice sites.  A bit close but workable. (Really typical for a private RV park)

Spruce RV Park is a great base camp for the numerous outdoor opportunities of the area. Glacier National Park being #1

Check in and reservation system was easy. Gal at front desk was extremely polite. The RV park is very well maintained, clean and organized. Bathroom and shower facility well kept. Appears most sites have full hookup options. Water pressure is very good.

Pretty nice RV park - we just stayed here 1 night on a way into glacier.  Its only ~5 mins to the West glacier entrance so very convenient.  There are over 100 sites here so it seems pretty crowded, but was relatively quiet.  Sites were real close to each other. Nice to have full hookups

This campground is located just outside the eastern entrance of Glacier National Park and the Going-To-The-Sun Road. They have primitive camping, basic cabins, deluxe cabins (with a bathroom), and RV hookup spaces so there is something here for everyone. It sits in a valley and has some beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, especially at sunrise and sunset. The KOA has a nice store with food, drinks, camping supplies, and souvenirs. There is also an outdoor pool on site which makes it easy to relax after a long day of hiking. It is towards the northern end of the eastern side of the park so if Going-To-The-Sun Road is closed, it can make for a long drive to the western side of the park, which is what happened to us. I would still highly recommend this site.

Great mature campground tall trees for shade pool Throughs back in full hook ups or partial hook ups. A creek with a swimming hole and a new addition to the park there’s not much shade but still Full hook ups in that part of the park. Nice laundry facility and bathrooms with showers if you don’t have hook ups. The owners are real nice and helpful. The only problem we had was they ran out of ice due to the heat in the local area and not enough employees at the ice factory to make deliveries. You could still get ice at the major grocery stores.

My family and I recently stayed at Rollings RV Park on Flathead Lake in Montana, and we loved it! Although it's all back-in sites for RVs and there's not a lot of room, we found that the park was beautiful and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. They have some tent sites and cabins available as well. 

There's a restaurant on-site, but it has limited days and hours. The food was excellent, but it's like being in the UK, where you order everything yourself. 

The park is clean, and the sites have a decent amount of space. You're close to Polson and Lakeside, where there are great beaches. The campground has its beach, but you have to drive to it. 

One of the best things about the park is the great playground for kids. Our kids loved it!

The only thing we didn't love was the parking situation for guests or extra vehicles, but since it's a small place, we understand that it can be limited. 

Overall, we will 100% stay at Rollings RV Park on Flathead Lake again and again. It's an awesome place, and we highly recommend it.

This campground is in a great location. My husband loves that he can fish on site the bathroom/shower are clean and spacious. Very friendly and accommodating will come back, also full hook up and lots of space

Finley point is a unit of Flathead Lake State Park, and has both tent camping as well as RV camping. There are RV spots practically right on the water, as well as tent spots. There’s also boat-in camping available, but you much sleep on your boat as there is no place for a tent next to the boat slips. The rangers do evening programs on the weekends, which are awesome. It’s a fabualous place to swim, paddle board, and spend time with family! Pets are allowed on leashes. There is not electric hookups or showers.

We used today as a catch up day. We’re on the road for over a month and this was an unscheduled day. We happened upon Rocky Mtn Hi and the kids and I love it. The kids could play all day in the great park with a whole western town set up and swimming hole in the creek, volleyball net amd paved roads to scooter and roller blade. I did laundry in their huge laundry facility. Super clean showers in the bathhouse and very friendly staff. We have site 5 in the trees for great shade and proximity to all the things. I met a few long term residents and others just passing thru - everyone has been super friendly.

This is a nice, new RV and Cabin park built in 2019. The sites are fully equipped. This RV park is definitely geared more towards larger motor homes than tent style camping as the sites are really close together. Each site has a picnic table and a small amount of grass. No shade trees. Onsite, there is a small camp store, bath house, playground, laundry facility, ice for sale, etc... The location to the park can't be beat. The small sites are worth it for a few days to be able to stay so close to the park.

While there’s nothing stand-outish about the tent area, at least it’s furthest from the highway, tree-lined and secluded from the RVs. It would be relaxing if there were, at most, only a couple of other tent campers, because it's just an open area. There's decent open space within and especially outside the RV park. You have a lot of uncluttered valley and mountain views. The international airport is about a mile away. It’s a bonus if you like that sort of thing. One of the most gorgeous Montana sunsets happened while I was here. Big Sky Country at its very best.

This is an RV park with sites between trees. Mostly spaces well. Just 1 bathroom so some sites are quite a walk from them. Laundry facilities great. Staff are nice and store is cute. We are self contained but had to have a site with electric and water and it was very expensive. We were able to get a last mu site for July 4. Close to Glacier so convenient for exploring.

We stayed here so we could leave our trailer and drive the Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park. Worked Great.

Park was very noise with road noise since its on the highway. Not unlike most RV parks. 

Little fenced in dog area was a nice place to let the pooch run around without a leash.

Laundry and Shower facility was great, they give you a code at check in and so you can use the laundry or shower whenever its convenient. Felt very clean and secure.

Good RV park, it was clean and hosts are good. No pool onsite. Did not use the laundry. No shade in site 4. Mostly sunny in all spots.

No fires allowed.

T-Mobile is ok,

Host was very friendly.  Had clean porta potties and even a free hot shower.  Free use of BBQ Grills.  Had a communal fire pit.  Only 9 sites, so it wasn't as crowded as those commercial RV Parks.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this RV park that's been in business for over 40 years. Bigfork is a gorgeous area, with tons out outdoor activities. Check them out and leave them some love!

Overall nice RV park, but spots are way to close. And length of spots seem to be slightly exaggerated. My 36’ 5th wheel barley fit in spot front to back. And stairs were down into grass when left side on edge of gravel.
