    Logging Creek

    Great spot for a family weekend

    This is a great place if you want to get away from Great Falls for a night or two. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and a decent amount of trees. Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids.

    Great Falls KOA

    Nicely appointed KOA

    General: Just about every option you could ask for (except for tents): 50-amp FHU pull-thru, 30/20-amp with w/e(back-in and pull-thru), FHU with patio, glamping tent, one and two-room cabins and cottages. 

    Site Quality: Different from many KOAs we have stayed in is that the camper pads are gravel, not paved, and there are quite a few trees that provide decent separation/privacy between the sites. The sites are bordered by railroad ties, and some are a tighter fit than others. A few of the sites at the end of the row before the glamping site appeared a little overgrown. As is usual for a KOA, our site was assigned upon check-in. The first site we were assigned didn’t work out for us since our electric cord could not reach the pedestal. Be aware that electric connections are shared between two sites so if you do not have an extension cord, you may have a problem (or need to be reassigned which was easily done for us). 

    Bath/Shower House: Accessed by code. All-in-one units with soap and paper towels. They were clean. 

    Activities/Amenities: Many and varied including a water playground (guests can join you here by paying a fee), petting zoo, train, dog park, yard games, bike rentals, propane fill, dump station, laundry, ice, ice cream, and free pancakes. There was even live entertainment! 

    We don’t typically stay in KOAs or RV parks (mainly because of cost and lack of privacy between sites) but they are good for us when we need showers, laundry, and a dump station. Although still more than we like to spend for camping, this one was a pleasant surprise with the number of trees on the property. The staff was exceedingly friendly!

    Great Falls KOA

    Best KOA

    This was the best KOA I’ve ever been to. I’m not a dedicated KOA camper but I’ve been to my fair share and this one takes the cake. The grounds were shaded and kept tidy, the shower+toilet bathroom combo was really nice and super clean. The amenities and camp store were great too. We stayed in the glamping tent for one night, which was a super cool spot with a great view. Unfortunately it rained all night. We were nice and dry but the road up from the glamping tent got muddy and slick. Thankfully we have 4-wheel drive. A 2-wheel drive car may have gotten stuck. Overall it was great and I wish we could have stayed longer!

    Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground

    Great week day but packed on weekend

     A lot of water stations.  The boat dock parking area allowed camping along the perimeter. A few paved walking paths near the beach area.   The narrow paved roads made life interesting. The fish cleaning station is closed due to vandalism.  Our first day was 105F which made the lake more inviting.  Evening low of 76F.  No pets on the fairly small swim beach.  All other water access has large rocks for erosion mitigation.

    Our Saturday departure was delayed by FWP boat inspection at the entrance and a long line was inbound to Holter Lake.

    Great Falls KOA

    so much fun!

    KOA has everything you need. An outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, tent, cabin and rv spots.Outside kitchens. Shower area, small store, playground, and wifi. A lot of room to move around and have fun. You can even winter camp. We really enjoyed camping there and our day trips with the cub scouts.

    Log Gulch Recreation Site

    Great for anything!

    For scouts we had a huge campout here (like we do every year) and it still is one of my most memorable campground. The area is super clean, with the only trash I find way out in the mountain. Talking about that, there are cool “mountains” (basically steep hills with some rocks) you can climb or hike, that give you a great view of the area. The bathrooms are pretty clean and not too smelly as well. If you just want to go camping there are amazing places to pitch a tent and in ground fire pits. Also, if you happen to have a boat, you can park it next to your campsite and take it onto the lake during the day.

    Great Falls KOA

    Very Nice

    This campground sits just on the outskirts of Great Falls. It is like most KOA's with many amenities including a pool. Showers were very nice. Of course it is close to everything in town such as WalMart, gas stations, restaurants, and shopping.

    Great Falls KOA

    City Camping Tucked Away

    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 (in a campground) experience, but you can easily drive into the city to pick up whatever you forgot to pack.

    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, but the area is big enough for your vehicle and a large tent, or multiple smaller tents. 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. The tent villages are very close to a nice restroom/showers that require a key code to get in.

Guide to Great Falls

Yurt camping near Great Falls, Montana provides access to terrain ranging from riverside cottonwoods to mountain forests within a short drive of the city. Located at 3,330 feet elevation, the area experiences distinct seasons with summer highs reaching the 90s and winter lows regularly dropping below freezing. The region's position at the transition between mountains and plains creates varied camping microclimates within a 50-mile radius of the city.

What to do

Fishing on multiple bodies of water: Access prime fishing spots at Pelican Point Fishing Access Site along the Missouri River. "Easy access from 15 and nice RV spots. Boat launch ramp and small beach for swimming, fishing and for dogs to play. A sweet gem!" notes reviewer Tracy R. The site includes both river access and small lakes.

Wildlife viewing: Watch for bighorn sheep at Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground. "While staying at the campground we saw 5 sheep on the hill next to the campground entrance," reports camper Dexter I. The surrounding hillsides provide natural habitat viewable from camp.

Water recreation: Beyond swimming, try paddleboarding at Holter Lake when conditions permit. "The winds were too high to kayak and paddleboard. A little disappointed, but that doesn't dissuade me from enjoying," shares Nancy C. The lake offers water sports from May through September depending on weather.

What campers like

Lakeside camping with amenities: Log Gulch Recreation Site offers 72 total campsites across two campgrounds. "Over 50 sites with views of the mountains, Holter Lake, and the sleeping giant from various points in the campground. Wildlife abound and fishing galore," says Keith K. The main campground features running water and a marina.

Tent-specific areas: Tent campers appreciate the thoughtful layout at some area campgrounds. At Great Falls KOA, camper Jamie B. notes: "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, but the area is big enough for your vehicle and a large tent."

Creek access for children: Families enjoy the natural water features at Logging Creek campground. "Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids," mentions Jeff E. Many campsites throughout the region offer creekside locations that provide both recreation and soothing background sounds.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds in the area have limited operations. Logging Creek, which offers yurt camping near Great Falls, Montana, operates on a defined schedule. "Season: Memorial Day to Thanksgiving," according to campground information, making advance planning essential for off-season visits.

Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires careful driving. At Logging Creek, reviewer Jean L. shares: "Not going to lie. I didn't know what to expect and white knuckled a bit driving my little old motorhome down into this ground. This is a bit of a trek. TOTALLY worth it if you are up for the adventure though."

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly by location. While some areas maintain good coverage, others are completely off-grid. At Logging Creek, Jean L. notes there's "No cell service. But one of my favs so far."

Tips for camping with families

Water attractions: Great Falls KOA features multiple water recreation options for children. "This is a very kid friendly campground, almost too much. Twice within an hour a train full of kids rolled by my site shouting. There is a large playground, volleyball court, basketball, and pools," reports Angela G.

Wildlife encounters: Create educational opportunities through wildlife observation. At Pelican Point, families can explore both aquatic and land-based wildlife. Tonya R. describes it as "A beautiful and quite relaxing day," making it suitable for nature study with children.

Yurt options for easier family camping: Yurt accommodations provide an alternative to tent camping for families visiting the Great Falls area. The yurts at Logging Creek offer electricity and shelter while maintaining a camping experience. They're particularly valuable during shoulder seasons when temperatures can fluctuate dramatically.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven sites at some campgrounds. At Benton RV Park & Campground, Robert R. advises: "Clean and well maintained. It's probably the bright spot in the entire town... Everything worked and the front desk was friendly. Stopped here for a one nighter on the way to another destination."

Weather preparation: The Great Falls region experiences significant temperature swings and wind. "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 conditions at Benton RV Park.

Campground utilities: Water availability varies by location, with some sites offering full hookups while others provide minimal services. At Holter Dam, reviewer Michael B. notes the practical amenities: "No hookups, great fire pit and picnic tables. Plenty of space for multiple vehicles in each spot. Level and right by the water."
