    Quartz Flats Campground

    Pretty good

    It’s kinda noisy from the highway and the train tracks. But other than that good

    Fishing access near i90 exit 30

    Leveled gravel free space with some noise

    Lolo Hot Springs RV Park & Campground

    Great campground in the mountains

    Best spot with 50 amps I could find! We pulled up and was surprised by how serene the setting was, beautiful creek, awesome big rocks and of course the hot springs across the street. We ended up not even going to the hot springs, there was lots to do! If you get a spot right on the creek it would be super nice, it’s very quiet here and you can hear the water. Definitely recommend.

    Missoula KOA Holiday

    Better options available

    I would not stay here again. We are in our RV camping as a family approximately 70 days a year. Not a ton but enough that we’ve got some experience. We stayed in campground in 46 of the 50 states. This KOA price rivals Key West, on the beach in the Florida panhandle, glacier national park koa at peak summer and posh resorts of the south east with elaborate water parks, lazy rivers and margarita delivery daily. This camp ground does not have the bells and whistles to justify this price. We paid for a deluxe extra wide site. We have a 27ft Class C with a drivers side slide. Not a tiny RV but by no means large. When being directed to our site I was asked to move over so our tires weren’t near the grass. They were near the grass on both sides. I indicated if I moved over my slide wouldn’t open all the way due to the power box. I was nonetheless asked to move. So I did. And here we are with the slide 4 inches from going out all the way and bugs having free rein to enter thru the now non sealed siding. If that were all I might just move on… but kids are $10 extra per night?!? On top of the already $130 campsite fee. So many KOA’s don’t charge extra for kids - we come here because we have kids… who else would come to a KOA?!? Don’t charge extra per kid! I’m in now in excess of $160 for one night for a uneven gravel site, under a glaringly bright white street light making it nearly daylight inside the motorhome, attracting bugs to a slide that isn’t sealed because the site isn’t wide enough to open … and being charged extra. My first ever negative review at those level. Just so so sad. I’d stay at the Glacier, Jim & Mary’s etc. we tried this one because the pool was open late but… not worth 2-3x the price of nicer campground nearby

    Ps - online when we booked it said “last site” hurry book now in essence. Alas… there are multiple campsites empty on both sides. Front and back are full but the ones.. not under the light… are empty….

    Blue Mountain Forest Rd 365 - Dispersed

    Interesting spot

    Road is absolutely clapped out going up for like ten miles. Wouldn’t recommend a rv or trailer unless you don’t mind washboards. I got a flat tire going up so be careful of sharp rocks. The pin is at just a pull off on the side of the road. Drive another mile or so until a corner then take a trail on the side. (Only in a truck). Awesome sunset spot and no one bothered me

    Rock Creek Dry Campsites

    Best secluded spots

    Gorgeous area deep back on rock creek. Probably 10 plus miles. Pass campgrounds with toilets. Individual campsites with fire rings and access to great fishing.

    Dispersed Site - Lolo National Forest Recreation Area

    Amazing By the River

    Arrived very late in the dark on Friday night coming back from Canada, and found an amazing site next to the river which drowned out all surrounding noise. Beautiful and forested with privacy and plenty of space to setup 5 tents. Didn’t have any issues with bugs or mosquitos despite being by the river in August.
