      Jim & Mary's RV Park

      Beautiful campground

      This is one if the prettiest and cleanest campground we have ever stayed at. The sites are gravel, mostly level and most sites have shad. The pull through sites on the outer edge do not but others inside do. The laundry and bathhouse was very nice and clean. $2.00 per load to wash. There is flowers everywhere and they have a sprinkler system to keep everything pretty so you can’t leave anything out overnight that you don’t want to get wet. They mow each Thursday and are constantly doing upkeep on the grounds. FHU was a plus and made our stay enjoyable. There is a small dog park but it’s mostly in the sun so we chose to enjoy walks. The only downside (if I had to find one) was the train close by that was very squeaky as it went by. But I never heard it during the night.

      Trout Creek Campground (Mt) — Lolo National Forest

      Trout Creek up to Hidden Lake

      This hike into the lakes is not for the faint of heart, but the most breath taking views of Montana at its finest. There are plenty of Brook trout and huckleberries to eat at each trail and lake. There is also a lot of wild life, including mountain goats, moose, deer, and elk. Please make sure when bringing pets that they know not to chase these animals and always look at fire reports before heading into this area.

      RV Park and Casino-don’t shy away

      I was a bit apprehensive when the sign read, “RV park, casino” (restaurant, motel).....but! This place is nice. Sites are close, so prepare to be friendly. Highway is close by as well, so you will hear some traffic noise. A train occasionally runs slowly across the river. Campground nicley maintained. But, the lawnmower is out there everyday!!! Loud and unneeded. Shower and Laundry available. Nice quiet road to walk pets. And beautiful view of river and mountainside.

      Campground St. Regis

      Nice visit

      Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious restrooms and showers. Plenty of green space for pets. The only downside was the freeway noise.

      Muchwater Recreation Area

      Peacefulness by the river

      This is by far one of my favorite camping spots. Dispersed. Pet friendly. Quiet. Plenty of space between you and other campers. A river right by you. What more could you want? Oh and it’s right by a hot springs resort, in case you want to take a dip while you’re camping.

    Guide to Frenchtown

    Camping options near Frenchtown, Montana provide access to both Clark Fork River and surrounding mountain terrain. The area sits at approximately 3,000 feet elevation with summer temperatures typically ranging from 45-90°F. Fall camping season brings cooler nights that can drop below freezing, particularly at higher elevation dispersed sites.

    What to do

    Stream exploration: Petty Creek Road Dispersed Camping offers access to small waterways and the nearby Clark Fork River. "Super easy to get to! Just exit off I90 onto Petty Creek Road and go straight for a mile or two. Creek bed runs right next to the back site, but it was completely dried up in late July," notes Sarah S.

    Wildlife viewing: Small animals frequent the grassy areas between campsites at various campgrounds. At Missoula KOA, one camper mentioned "three very large bunnies that roll around the campground. She loves them," sharing a unique wildlife encounter experience.

    Stargazing: Away from city lights, open skies provide excellent night viewing opportunities. A camper at Petty Creek Road described their experience: "Felt very private, and the stars were fantastic! Creek bed runs right next to the back site, but it was completely dried up in late July."

    Day trips: Bison Range access within reasonable driving distance. "If you have a couple days here I would suggest a 40 minute drive to the National Bison Range. The kids will love it!" recommends a visitor who stayed at Missoula KOA.

    What campers like

    Privacy levels: Secluded spots for those seeking quiet. "Great site. Really private, beautiful view of the mountains," notes Jacob R. about Petty Creek Road Dispersed Camping. Many campers appreciate the separation between sites at this location.

    Waterfront sites: River Edge Resort provides direct water access. A camper shared: "Amazing views and surprisingly quiet for being right off the highway. The staff were friendly at check-in and even had a special treat for my pups to enjoy and complementary doggy bags."

    Bathroom facilities: Well-maintained restrooms at multiple campgrounds receive positive reviews. A visitor to Missoula KOA mentioned: "The facilities are well-maintained and very clean. I'd like the cypher locks on the bathrooms/showers for safety."

    Landscaping: Attractive grounds enhance camping experiences. "This is one of the prettiest and cleanest campground we have ever stayed at. The sites are gravel, mostly level and most sites have shade," observed a camper at Jim & Mary's RV Park.

    What you should know

    Seasonal closures: Many campgrounds operate on limited schedules. Granite Peak RV Resort operates from "May 1 - Oct 15" while some smaller sites close with first snowfall.

    Train noise: Railroad proximity affects some locations. A visitor to Jim & Mary's RV Park noted: "The only downside (if I had to find one) was the train close by that was very squeaky as it went by. But I never heard it during the night."

    Sprinkler systems: Regular watering may affect gear placement. "There is flowers everywhere and they have a sprinkler system to keep everything pretty so you can't leave anything out overnight that you don't want to get wet," warns a Jim & Mary's visitor.
