"Convenient and a nice place to stay. Long term or passing through it’s a good choice for the Missoula area."
"Large level spaces with grass and picnic tables. Very clean grounds with nice gardens. Clean bathrooms, showers and laundry. Friendly staff and close to Missoula."
"The staff and owner went Above and Beyond for us when my boyfriend left behind a beloved baseball cap in our room. Totally our fault, and we figured we’d never see the sentimental item again."
". $12 gets you campsite showers and toilets, WiFi and coin laundry. Also really great access to the bitterroot valley if you’re into hikin and river activities."
"Nice little park in Hamilton. If you were wondering why its called "Black Rabbit" RV park, take a look at some of the photos below. Contactless check-in if you don't arrive during business hours."
"One thing to mention on camp 7 is that its one of the few areas with the brush cleared wide open on the creek."
"Down the road there was an RV Park and they were very nice and allowed us to set up our tents near the river. It was stunning!"
$40 - $150 / night
"If the smoke from summer wildfires were not so thick, you could see the beautiful long range, multi tiered mountains. The park is well maintained."
"Granite Peak Rv
Missoula, MT
#58, gravel Pad, grass area, picnic table
OTA: 7 channels
Verizon 4g/4 bars
ATT 4g/3bars
Internet pretty weak from our site."
"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."
"This is old Montana so don’t expect fancy, but unique. The host was kind enough to keep be us to a spot not in between a bunch of RVs which was nice."
"Amenities include a pit toilet, fire rings (be careful!!!) and picnic tables. Hiking is an must! The canyon overlook is stunning."
"Easy Bitteroot hike and spectacular views all around and in the valley of where your hiking! Very common and popular hike so be prepared to see lots of people!"
"Secluded, rustic, and free campsite by Skalkaho Creek. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. This campsite is first-come, first-served."
"You have access to the creek with most sites(look for the trail in the back of your site). Bugs can be an issue in season, so keep that in mind. "
TravelerVery full park with mostly long- term guests on gravel pads, no grass. Spots very close together but each site had a picnic table- no grills. Visitors friendly but staff were marginal. Small laundry room with old machines. Convenient location but check- in early during peak season.
LegendIf the smoke from summer wildfires were not so thick, you could see the beautiful long range, multi tiered mountains. The park is well maintained. I love the fact that they have a puttputt on the grounds. Very family friendly. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the sited are not level. All, but the premium sites (concrete pads) have a slope. Jack's were fully extended and some wheels off the ground. Pulling up on blocks was no problem. Not a ton of shade at sited. I had 5 bars of 5G AT&T. Wifi repeaters were throughout the park. Would definitely recommend.
RangerVery 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.
GuideDefinitely not a spot that caters to our normal priorities as it's more of a family hangout or long term place, as expected being an RV park. But it worked well as a stop-off spot for laundry, showers, electric recharge, and water fill before continuing on our way the next morning. We were worried it'd be loud being so close to the freeway, but surprisingly couldn't hear it at all.
Facilities: Laundry, showers that feel like home more than any other we've been to, mini-golf, playground, convenience store
Cell Service: As expected plenty of service being so close to Missoula
Starlink: All sites are open to the sky
Solar: All sites are open to the sky
GuideHad a van battery issue so needed to plug in for the cold night. Is as advertised, not for typical bookdockers. Owner is nice and accommodating. Maybe 12 sites with some long term renters - it appeared. All hook ups available up to 50amp. Not quite close enough to down town to walk (in winter). Philipsburg is an awesome small Montana town that’s worth a stop.
GuideI rolled in mid-afternoon and was able to find a great spot to camp for a couple of days. The sites were well dispersed and clean with picnic tables and fire pits available.
AT&T phone service was available and at good speeds. I chose to stay the extra day and was able to work remotely from the campground with my hotspot.
$18/night for out of state travelers with no hookups was a bit steep.
Good site and will be back!
LegendNice little campground in the Bitterroot Valley. It seemed that there were as many dogs as people in the campground. Sites varied in size and shape and shade. I like the sites on the far side of the loop as they are closer to the creek and away from the dusty road. Water at the spigots was good, but I was a bit concerned that they were placed so close to the vault toilets. There are some pull through sites as well as back in, but since it’s first come, it’s luck of the draw in what you get. I got there around 2 on a Sunday and had 3 sites to pick from. All of the sites were full by 4pm. There are some nice hiking and horseback riding trails across the road, and there is a forest road that goes all the way to the top of the mountains with picnic tables to watch the sunset or sunrise (when the smoke doesn’t cloud the view).
ScoutThis campground is AT the rest stop. It's a bit different. If travelers knew about it they would stop and go into the campground for a picnic lunch and it is great to let the dogs walk in the woods, but no one ever does that because they do not realize the National Forest Campground is there... They stop at the rest stop (new redone) and move on.
Hardly anyone goes there on loop G. The other Clark Fork side gets some weekenders. The other loops are on the other side of the highway accessible by a tunnel under the highway and one loop was deactivated a few years ago because of a lack of traffic. One side is right above the Clark Fork River. The other Loop G is on the other side of the highway and has one set of "real toilets" a potable and non-potable/dump water station for filling water tanks and rinsing tanks AND its a nice free dump station. Sites are smaller being built back in the 60's I'm thinking in G, but a few drive throughs on the other side by the river. It's 35 minutes north of Missoula MT. It is Close to trails has a half mile nature trail onsite and river access is close by... If you are traveling, need a really nice campground with few people in the woods, and inexpensive, this is the place... Coming to fish, do some kayaking or rafting on Clark Fork Check.
There is some road noise and on Loop G the occasional train next to the campground. The Clark Fork side doesn't have the train but seem louder closer to the road. That does not bother us so no big deal there. All sites are wooded...
GuideLocated on the north side of town, about 15 min drive to downtown Missoula. A bit overpriced, but do accept Good Sam membership for discount until next year. Wifi was horrible- didn't work well at all and took at least 5 mins to load a page and then sometimes would not even load after all of that time. They say they are in the process of updating their wifi- hope so! We hot spotted from our phone the entire time and had good enough AT&T cell service.
There is a pool, gift shop in the office, as[halt roads and great walking park and has short little trails in the neighboring hay field. Easy access through the park. Our spot was a pull thru and super easy to get situated and set up. Level site, picnic table and close to neighbors. Quiet park. Laundry was horrible. 1 of the 4 washers available was working and it was hard to find a time where it was available since the park hosts so many guests. They should definitely invest in more washers or fix the ones that were out of order. They didn't have quarters in the office and the coin machine wasn't working. To avoid anymore hassle, I went downtown to Sparkle Laundry. I HIGHLY suggest over their laundry machines. It was$2.50 for a double load and drying prices ranged from$0.50+. Super friendly staff and have a little bar top and stools, along with snacks and drinks while you wait for your laundry. I suggest going there instead!
