    Lolo Hot Springs Campground

    Lo Lo Hot Springs is Hot!

    Very nice campground across Hwy. 12 in Montana. Campground is ill defined so it feels more like camping out in the woods. Fire pits with picnic tables. 30 amp electric with water. Dump station on site. $38.50 per night or $25.50 with senior discount. Cabins are available and there is numerous tent sites. Pretty nice campground. Across the highway is Lo Lo Hot Springs. Very rustic with a $8.00 entry fee. Inside group tub and outside pool. There is a lodge and bar also on site. We spent 5 days in our 5th wheel at LoLo.

    Missoula KOA Holiday

    New Favorite . . .

    This place is on my shortlist for favorites for my week long getaway with my daughter who is 5. To be honest I was a bit concerned after reading a couple reviews describing the place. But hey, we all have bad days, and if I can read 90% positive vibe from a review I will check it out. I will say This place is an oasis that is in a manufactured home area that is very nice. Once you are in, it is a pure KOA experience. So far no company consistently does better than OK always across the board.

    Could not be happier with the customer service, and the staff that work here. Just simply top notch. They represent the true spirit of the KOA campgrounds. they lead you to your campsite, they will deliver wood for you, they monitor the pool at all times, make it easy to rent a little bike, and Wednesday through Saturday they have ice cream socials.

    I was a bit surprised that I did not see more children here. They have all the amenities that they have in Billings. I think some of the other reviews do not paint a quality picture of this place from a child’s eye. This is my daughters favorite place. From the bike rental to the playground, putt putt golf, swimming pool (2 Adult hot tubs - very clean).

    Of course as Tenters the big thing I look at is where I am pounding in my stakes :-) and the grass here in Missoula is perfect. They have several very creative approaches to tent sites. The one that I am staying at has a tent circle, five sites in the round, facing outward, fenced on each side with a picnic table, stand up barbecue, fire pit that is grated, picnic table, running water, electricity, and nice grass. I wish more campgrounds had this creative approach. Everything is well spread out and segregated between cabins, centers, and RV’s.

    They even have two really nice teepees in the center of the campground. They are super deluxe and the next time I come here I will be staying in one of them. See the photos.

    The campground store is the best stock store of all the KOA’s that I stayed in on this trip. They have everything from ice cream sandwiches to souvenirs.

    The facilities are well-maintained and very clean. I’d like the cypher locks on the bathrooms/showers for safety. The driveways are well-maintained, they have a painted bike path for riders. Overall this was just wonderful!

    If you have a couple days here I would suggest a 40 minute drive to the National Bison Range. The kids will love it!

    PS - My daughter wanted me to add that they have three very large bunnies that roll around the campground. She loves them.

    Whitefish-Kalispell North KOA

    Family friendly, not really “camping”

    If you’re looking for family friendly, this is your spot. Lots of kids activities. Free breakfast. Washrooms, showers and laundry facility available. Scenically, it’s not very pretty. Sites are very close together with little privacy. Our spot was so small we couldn’t fit our tent, picnic table and fire pit in it. We had to park somewhere else, and move the picnic table our. If you prefer exploring nature and quiet, this isn’t the park for you.

    Camp Paxson

    Amazing!

    Sone of my favorite summer memories are at this campground. Primitive cabins with electricity and bunk beds but nothing else. Dock to jump off of. Trails all over seely lake. An area with benches surrounding the fire and a stage. Easy to get to.

    Douglas Creek Cabin

    Great Little Cabin with friendly neighbors

    Very cute little cabin nestled next to a small creek. The area was very pretty, but had some broken fencing allowing tons of cows to surround the cabin on the morning. Very funny, but a little odd. Trip in was easy enough, road was slightly rutted, but nothing intolerable. A couple bunk beds were in the cabin, and it was definitely warm enough to survive.

    The Jack Saloon

    Nice and peaceful

    We stayed at one of the cabins, small but with everything that you need (bed, coffee maker, bathroom with toiletries, mini fridge and microwave). There are several cute hiking trails with gorgeous scenery. Also, the saloon offers good comfort food and beverages.

    Gird Point

    Gorgeous!!

    Gird Point Campground which is located in the Bitterroot National Forest is gorgeous. I love camping in Montana- I honestly have never had a bad experience camping anywhere in Montana. Gird Point is definitely no exception. My favorite part about this campsite is that it is located at the top of a peak. Camping on this peak definitely has gorgeous views, no doubt. There are three different mountain ranges that you are able to look out and see. Honestly, this is the best thing to wake up to. Talk about picturesque. You are able to stay in the lookout which has two beds that you are able to put your sleeping bags/pads on, and the lookout sleeps 4 people. When I went, we did have 4 people and it fit us pretty well. There is also a wood stove that works great for heating up water and cooking. The lookout also comes with some utensils and other amenities. Obviously, you do need to bring your own bathing supplies, sleeping supplies, food and drinks. You are able to drive to a certain point and then you do have to hike the remainder of the length to the lookout. The hike isn't too bad.

    Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground

    Pretty and quiet

    $42 for fire pit and picnic table! No privacy between the spots. That said, it’s a very beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet. Nice playground for the kids . Showers and bathrooms looked like they had been clean to, but overall were in need of a deep cleaning. The shower curtains were on the toilet stalls… Not sure how you keep those clean thoroughly.

    Restaurant was really nice and tasty. Nice people. But they are only open till 230 even though their website says they are open for dinner. I was hoping to stay one more day because it was so peaceful but we needed to get going on our trip.


Guide to Florence

Cabin accommodations near Florence, Montana range from rustic forest service lookouts to modern RV resort cottages. The area sits at elevations between 3,200-5,000 feet along the Bitterroot Mountain range, creating varied camping conditions depending on season and location. Winter access to some cabin sites requires additional preparation as snowfall can make roads impassable without proper equipment.

What to do

Creek exploration: Lolo Hot Springs RV Park & Campground offers excellent water access. "Spacious. Water and electricity hook up only. Bring a portable RV waste tank to the pump out station," notes one visitor. The creek provides a natural playground during summer months.

Hot springs soaking: After setting up at your cabin, cross Highway 12 to visit the mineral baths. A camper described, "The Hot Springs are $15 and worth the relaxation. This is old Montana so don't expect fancy, but unique." The indoor mineral bath maintains 106°F while the outdoor pool stays around 86°F.

Mini golf and recreation: Several cabin locations include family activities. At Granite Peak RV Resort, guests appreciate the "mini golf, horse shoes, pool, dog park" amenities. Though some reviews note the mini golf course is showing age with "rotten wood and holes all ruined."

What campers like

Mountain views: The West Fork Butte Lookout cabin offers panoramic vistas. "This is my favorite lookout that I have been to so far. The price was very cheep for what you get and they stay open late into the fall season," reports one visitor. Winter access requires snowshoes or snowmobile transportation.

River access: Waterfront cabins remain popular choices. At Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground, visitors enjoy "beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet" surroundings. Another camper noted the "beautiful creek running along the campground with beautiful Mountain views."

Historical ambiance: The cabin options near Florence include restored structures with character. "Fun bar, easy atmosphere and convenient cabins," writes one guest about The Jack Saloon, which features "4 cabins and a bar on site" with "several cute hiking trails with gorgeous scenery."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Cabin availability varies significantly by season. The West Fork Butte Lookout requires advance planning as it's "the closest you can get to overlanding without... overlanding." Visitors need to "be prepared to pack your sleep goods in from the parking spot, about 1/4 mile-ish."

Limited services: Most remote cabins lack utilities. "No running water but there's a wood stove with plenty of firewood and a pit toilet," explains one West Fork Butte visitor. Even at developed sites, guests should verify exact amenities before arrival.

Weather preparedness: Mountain cabins experience temperature fluctuations. One visitor noted staying "in June and needed to keep the fire going all night for warmth." Winter visitors must prepare for snow conditions, as some cabins remain accessible only by "renting snowshoes" or arranging transportation.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Beavertail Hill State Park Campground offers unique lodging. "The tipis were a lot of fun to sleep in! The river trail was beautiful to walk," writes one family. The park includes a nature trail and clean bathrooms that visitors describe as "excellent."

Wildlife viewing: Children enjoy animal encounters around cabins. One campground features "three very large bunnies that roll around the campground." Another visitor mentioned viewing deer from their cabin window.

Budget considerations: Cabin pricing varies widely. Basic state park accommodations cost less than resort cabins with electricity and plumbing. Some locations charge additional fees—one parent noted "kids are $10 extra per night" at certain properties.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When booking cabin locations with RV sites, check sizing carefully. "We paid for a deluxe extra wide site" but found "if I moved over my slide wouldn't open all the way due to the power box," reports one RVer at Granite Peak.

Utility connections: Hookup locations can create challenges. One RVer advised needing "about 20 foot of sewer hose to reach the sewer drain" at certain sites. This varies by property, with some cabins offering full connections while others provide only partial hookups.
