    Rexford Bench Campground features generously spaced camping sites that accommodate pets throughout its open season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Campers with dogs enjoy the peaceful shore access near the campground, making it ideal for pets who love water activities. The RV Resort at Indian Springs Montana welcomes pets with its super large dog park, providing ample space for dogs to run off-leash in a safe environment. Most campgrounds in the Eureka area maintain standard leash requirements outside designated pet areas. Sites at Rexford Bench are very generously spaced, creating a wild camping feel while still offering amenities like communal water spigots and clean restrooms. Tobacco River Campground allows pets but features more rugged access conditions and limited facilities, making it better suited for campers with more adaptable dogs.

    The trail system surrounding Heritage Cabin Property connects to numerous dog-friendly hiking routes within Kootenai National Forest, accessible directly from the camping area. Dogs particularly enjoy the seasonal creek at Heritage Cabin Property where they can cool off during summer months. Campers should note the high grizzly population in the fall around Tobacco River Campground and take appropriate precautions with pets. Both on-leash and off-leash options exist, with the large fenced dog park at Indian Springs offering a secure place for dogs to exercise. Martin Lake provides a more secluded camping experience for hikers with dogs willing to travel the short trail to the lakeside site. During wildlife-active seasons, food storage precautions are essential when camping with pets, as bears frequent many camping areas near Eureka. For longer stays with pets, the town of Eureka is conveniently located within 5-10 minutes of most campgrounds, providing access to veterinary services, pet supplies, and well-stocked groceries.

      Tuchuck

      Quiet

      Rough road going west from Polebridge not suitable for RvS. Much better road eastbound from Eureka side. Nice camp for a tent camp or camper. Creek close. Beautiful mountains getting there from Eureka

      The RV Resort at Indian Springs Montana

      Nice new campground with great views and friendly staff.

      The RV Resort at Indian Springs Ranch in Eureka MT is a nice new campground with full hook-ups (power, water, sewer). When I was there last year there were only 30 sites completed with 65 more nearing completion. Everything was new and nice and clean. 

      There are great views of the near by mountains and the park is adjacent to a wonderful 18 hole championship golf course. There is a small gift shop, miles of walking trails and an off leash dog park. The staff was very friendly.

      The RV Resort at Indian Springs Montana

      Best kept secret in Northern Montana

      I have stayed at this new RV Resort twice and love it.  The spaces are large, the bathrooms and laundry room are clean, they have a super large dog park and the views are unmatched.  It is also next door to a beautiful golf course. They also feature a playground, volleyball, community fire pit and trails close by.  If you are traveling to northwestern Montana you won't be disappointed.

      Peck Gulch Campground

      OMG! The views are AMAZING!

      The views were amazing, even with the heavy smoke from the summer wildfires in the surrounding states. There are no services at the sites. There is water available. There is a vault toilet. There is a boat launch. Other than that, you are experiencing what Montana is best known for. Wide open spaces. Dark Skies. Peacefulness. There is a really nice marina close by that offers occasional outdoor concerts, a really nice restaurant and really nice people. The Canadian border is not that far. Eureka is north and has good restaurants and grocery. Yes. It does have a challenging grade entrance road, but a 30 ft Class A had no problem. See photos.

      Dunn Creek Flats Campground

      Peaceful Riverside Camping (if you don't count been awoken by Bald Eagles)

      We stayed here off season, we pulled our trailer through a pull through site on the edge of the river. You could walk down to the river and fish in the river, but it wasn't really a place for people or pets to play. The sites are primitive with fire rings but no power or water hookups. 

      The campground is pretty small, has big trash bins to avoid bears, but it didn't look like it was a problem when we were there. 

      There are roads on both sides of the river, one being the highway, but the river helps drown out some of the road noise. The mountains are tall on either side of the river valley and so the sun goes down a little sooner than expected, but the views from camp are nice. There is a big open area in the center of the playground for people and pets to run around. 

      We would definitely stay here again.

      Whitefish RV Park

      in the center of town

      this a very pleasant rv park but it is in the middle of town and very difficult to find. lots of trees and grass but spaces are close together. if you are not looking for anything close to actual camping but close to glacier and other attractions this is the place for you. wifi available but very slow.

      i only gave it three stars because the pet area was disgusting. even though dog bags were available, there was poop everywhere. the area was very small.  there is as fencing and a gate but further down was wide open with no gate.

      Silverado Motel and RV Park

      Oh, Canada! I see you...

      This CG is behind a motel and next to a gold course. Sited are in a row, field like setting, with no shade which would block the beautiful views of the mountains. The grass looked like a golf course, well manicured and maintained. The sites were close together and not extremely level. But, they were doable.. Full hookups. The bathhouse was clean and each had 1 shower in the men's and women's. There is a landry and the motel has a restaurant. It wasn't open when we were there though, but heard that the food was really good. We had decent AT&T service. The Canadian border was just down the road. Eureka is a cute little walkable downtown with good restaurants, specialty shops, liquor store and a really good grocery. A great stop over.

      Dunn Creek Flats Campground

      Dark Skies and FREE

      We have stayed at many COE parks, but never have we run across one that is free. It is all disbursed camping. The sites are spaced far apart. They circle a large open field PERFECT for star gazing. We watched The Perseid Meteor shower. Spectacular! We were fortunate to snag a spot next to the river. During the day it was hot, but cooled off nicely when the sun dropped behind the mountains. Libby is not too far away. A cute little town with much to offer. We enjoyed Riverfest. A great grocery with lots of good ready made foods at the deli. We drove the entire scenic hwy/rd around the lake....up east side to Eureka/Canadian border and back down the west side. It is a full day, but worth it. The views are amazing if there is no smoke from the summer wildfires. No AT&T service. There is a free dump station in town.

      Blue Mountain RV Park

      2 Miles from Canada

      Open May-Sept. This park offers short term and seasonal spots. A lot of Canadians have seasonal spots to vaca in USA. Most of the short term sites are down the hill into a tree shaded valley. From the top of the hill are beautiful views of the Rockies.. Hookups. The last price was around $28 a night. Really good for a site with services. There is no wifi and cell service isn't available at the sites down the hill. At the top of the hill usually around 3-4 bars. The host and other guests were very nice. The laundry and bathrooms were clean, although tired. The Canadian border is 2 miles north. The cute little town of Eureka is about 5 miles south. There you will find good restaurants, liquor store, nice well stocked grocery, retail shops and more. Lake Koocanusa is close by for boating, fishing and swimming if you want to brave the cold water.

    Guide to Eureka

    Camping options in the Koocanusa region near Eureka sit at elevations between 2,600-3,500 feet and experience significant seasonal fluctuations. Summer temperatures range from 50°F at night to 90°F during peak days, with water temperatures in Lake Koocanusa reaching the mid-60s by mid-July. The camping season typically runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with some sites offering extended availability into fall.

    What to do

    Kayaking on Lake Koocanusa: Access the lake from Rexford Bench Campground which features a large boat launch area. "Amazingly beautiful. I was so looking forward to kayaking and/or paddleboarding, but alas, it was too windy. I was forced to just enjoy the views from the peaceful shore," notes Nancy C.

    Hiking to secluded sites: The short trail to Martin Lake offers a more remote experience. "After a short hike to the lake from the trailhead, there is one site right on the waters edge with a primitive fire ring. Advisable to store food by hanging from high tree branch to discourage bear investigations," shares Emmett S.

    Off-season motorcycling: Spring months provide excellent dirt biking opportunities before summer crowds arrive. "Awesome in April when the snow's melted and no one else is around! Easy to park a camper/toyhauler and get out and ride. You can go to the canadian border!" says Talia H.

    What campers like

    Spacious, quiet settings: Campers appreciate sites that offer breathing room. "Very nice, smaller campground with great access to Lake Koocanusa," reports Sarah F. about Rexford Bench. "Long, wide, level back in sites. Lots of RV's at this campground. Sites are nicely spaced out and was quiet at night."

    Clean facilities: North Dickey Lake Campground receives praise for its maintenance. "Very quiet and peaceful. Camping is free after September 25, but no water or wifi," notes Nitzan A. Another camper adds, "I choose a hilltop site with a lovely tree sheltered view of the lake."

    Fall camping deals: Budget-conscious travelers can take advantage of shoulder season opportunities. "Early Oct and very few in campground. Vault toilets and trash available, but no water. There is traffic noise, but otherwise quite nice," reports David P.

    What you should know

    Road conditions vary: Tobacco River Campground requires caution when accessing. "The park itself is in a fabulous location for activities such as fishing, tubing, kayaking, etc., but the roads are so heavily rotted that it makes it very difficult for any vehicle to navigate the entrance," warns Davy W.

    Seasonal closures: Most dog friendly campgrounds near Eureka operate only during summer months. "We came here just after the Labor Day weekend and found it to be not very busy as we arrived early on Friday. It filled up for Saturday and Sunday nights, bit was peaceful and relaxing. We were not able to camp near the water at this time due to much of the campground being closed off for the season," explains Jeffrey G.

    Wildlife considerations: Bear activity increases in certain areas during fall. "Be aware of quicksand that is advertised to be in the area and bears fishing in the fall," advises Sadie P. "High grizzly population in the fall. Kokanee in the river, check reports."

    Tips for camping with families

    Lakeside activities: Camp 32 offers access to water recreation. "If all you need is table, fire ring, pit toilet, and lots of privacy, this is for you. 10 sites. Some in large meadow and others in the woods," notes Keith L. "6 or 8 very nice undeveloped sites beside the stream along road to campground."

    Town proximity: The convenience of nearby services makes extended stays easier. "The Canadian border is 2 miles north. The cute little town of Eureka is about 5 miles south. There you will find good restaurants, liquor store, nice well stocked grocery, retail shops and more," shares Nancy C.

    Weather preparation: Pack for temperature variations, especially early in the season. "If you go early in the summer, bring your rain gear and cool weather clothes. Summer always seems to come after July 4th in these parts," advises Laura P.

    Tips from RVers

    Border convenience: Blue Mountain RV Park serves as a strategic stopover for cross-border travelers. "This park offers short term and seasonal spots. A lot of Canadians have seasonal spots to vaca in USA. Most of the short term sites are down the hill into a tree shaded valley," explains Nancy C.

    Utility considerations: Be prepared for varying hookup availability among pet friendly campgrounds near Eureka. "The sites were close together and not extremely level. But, they were doable. Full hookups. The bathhouse was clean and each had 1 shower in the men's and women's," shares another camper.

    Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly between sites. "There is no wifi and cell service isn't available at the sites down the hill. At the top of the hill usually around 3-4 bars," notes Nancy C. regarding connectivity at Blue Mountain.
