Glamping near Floweree, Montana offers both established campgrounds and secluded options within a 45-minute drive radius. Located in the prairie region of central Montana where elevation ranges from 3,100-4,500 feet, this area experiences dramatic temperature shifts between seasons with summer highs reaching 90°F and winter lows dropping to single digits. Late summer brings heightened fire restrictions at most camping locations.
What to do
Creek exploration: At Logging Creek, visitors can wade in the creek and discover natural swimming holes. "There is water for kids to play in... If you do some research in that area there is a place where there are some caves to explore, and another with fossils," notes camper Jean L.
Wildlife watching: The wooded camping areas provide opportunities to spot local wildlife throughout the day. "Deer wandered into the campground throughout the night and morning. You can hear logging creek moving from no matter where you are," reports Tara T.
Family activities: Great Falls KOA provides structured recreation options for families seeking more amenities. "Waterslides, Petting Zoo, Swimming Pool. Clean facilities, friendly operators. Spent 3 nights but definitely could have spent longer!" shares Nicki M.
What campers like
Shaded sites: Mature trees at campgrounds provide welcome relief from summer heat. "The area we stayed in is for medium sized rigs or smaller. It was wooded and very nice for a KOA. The larger spaces are in a newer and less shady portion of the campground," explains Roger W.
Tent villages: Great Falls KOA offers specialized tent areas with added amenities. "Our site was in what they call a tent village, which is a nice roundabout of tent sites. There are walls separating the sites for privacy... Toward the middle of the roundabout is a covered area, including a table, counter, electrical outlets, and a large cabinet that can be locked with a padlock," describes Jamie B.
Balance of access: Some locations provide natural settings while remaining accessible. "You have to drive through part of Great Falls, Montana to get to this campground, but once you are in it, you forget all about the city. You get the full camping experience, but you can easily drive into the city to pick up whatever you forgot to pack."
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Some amenities close outside peak season. "It seemed that it needed a little landscape maintenance and was a bit dusty. Most everything was shut down for the season which is something to keep in mind if you visit in the fall," advises Melanie A.
Connectivity issues: Cell service and wifi can be inconsistent or nonexistent. "No cell service," reports Jean L. about Logging Creek, while another visitor notes of Benton RV Park & Campground, "Everything worked and the front desk was friendly. Stopped here for a one nighter on the way to another destination."
Access roads: Some campgrounds require navigating rough terrain. "The road was a lil rough with the washed out gullies in the road with the cattle guards. But I overall loved it," shares Tara T.
Tips for camping with families
Supervised recreation: Family areas provide monitored play spaces. "Pool and playground are great for young kids. Clean and well kept," notes Megan B. about her stay.
Diverse activities: Logging Creek offers natural play opportunities for children. "Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids," shares Jeff E.
Weekday visits: Scheduling affects crowd levels significantly. "We came on a weekday, so hardly any one there," reports Steve S., suggesting quieter experiences midweek.
Tips from RVers
Site specifications: Check site dimensions before booking. "This place overall is pretty amazing... Perfectly level pad in the trees fire pit and picnic table in your own little grassy area," shares Michael B.
Bathroom facilities: Facility quality varies significantly between locations. "The bathrooms could use some updating. They are nice single occupancy toilet/shower combos but some had damage on the tile, missing soap dispenser, non functional paper towel dispensers," notes Angela G.
Weather considerations: Prairie locations experience extreme conditions. "We were here in mid July and it was 94° with about a 35 mph wind howling across the Prairie. Quite a shock considering we had just come down from the mountains!" warns Robert R. about regional climate factors.
