West Fork Butte Lookout is an ideal place for guests to experience the mountains south of Missoula from a unique vantage point. The facility provides near-360-degree views of the surrounding area. It is equipped with basic supplies and provides guests a base camp location from which to explore the area. Access by vehicle is available for a relatively short time during the summer months and is variable during the spring and fall. If the gate at the bottom of Forest Road 37 is closed, guests may have to hike, ski or snowmobile roughly 7.5 miles to the facility. Please call the Missoula Ranger District to check gate status. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Hiking trails are available in the area. Visitors often bring cross-country skis or snowshoes for wintertime fun. Snowmobiles are often used to reach the lookout in the winter, and there is a system of groomed trails to explore nearby. Fishing is available in Lolo Creek.
The 14-by-14' lookout is situated on a rocky knob with spectacular views of the surrounding area, including Lolo Peak, the Bitterroot Mountains and the Lolo Creek drainage. The lookout is close to the Montana-Idaho border and Lolo Pass. The surrounding forest is comprised primarily of lodgepole pine and larch. The area is home to elk, moose, deer and black bears.

The Missoula KOA appears to be the only game in town. I guess that is why they can charge a premium price and leave you with two choices, take it or leave it. Only problem is we could not find another place so we "took it".
This is a big and busy campground. Lots of good things about it. For example, for a premium price, you can get a site with your own private dog run. Two older but OKay hot tubs and a heated swimming pool. Bicycle and other stuff rental. Everything from tent sites, cabins, small full hook-up sites to large spacious premium sites. Despite some of the bad reviews, the staff was very friendly to us and, because of no parking for our Tesla, they were able to move us to a better site. WARNING: You are not allowed to plug in any electric car. We were warned that if we plugged in our Tesla, we would be fined and asked to leave the park immediately. The Tesla supercharger was less than two miles away so no problem for us. Wifi was great. 34 mbs. AT&T was 2 bars 5G.
The BAD: Very busy. Many days in summer they are 100 per cent booked. Make reservations early and be specific what you need. Be ready to pay a premium price, even for tent camping. Camp is old but well kept. Bathrooms are clean but very old style and shower stalls are very small and not handicapped friendly. Surrounded by lots of older double-wide's. Some well kept and some not so well kept. Not friendly to electric cars (see warning above). Several times during our stay they paused their golf cart in front of our Tesla, I assume making sure we did not plug in.

We decided to stay here because we’ve seen this campground(CG) featured the last five year’s we’ve been on the road by CG review websites, travel forums, and big-name RV bloggers. So we thought we’d give Nugget a try. We followed our RV GPS to the CG that is near I-90, but far enough away that you don’t hear highway noise. There was another camper checking in when we arrived, but check-in was fairly quick and thorough. There was a sign about being a Good Sam Member and we had to ask to get the discount as that option was not available for the online reservation. We then had a very friendly escort to pull through site 63 with FHUs, which is supposedly a premium site. This gravel site has a little grass yard with a picnic table. The site is across from a community fire pit and couple of their little trail heads. When we were there in July, there was a fire ban so not having a site fire pit was no big deal. The utilities are nicely placed in the middle of the pad. Water pressure is good at about 50 psi. We got 2 to 3 bars on Verizon. As there are a lot of mature pine trees in this CG, satellite is iffy. Our campsite was at the north end of the CG facing the woods, so we used our Verizon MiFi versus Starlink. We probably could have gotten the Starlink to work if we put the antenna on our roof, but as we were only here for three nights, we didn’t try. There’s a nice trail system around the CG to walk with your kids and it is dog friendly. They offer a lot of amenities of which laundry was one that we did use. There’s a nice 9-hole golf course just down the road. They used to let veterans golf for free on Wednesdays, but now charges vets only$5. The CG also had a food truck one evening that was convenient. We wanted to see what all the hype was about and we got the chance. This CG has a lot to offer families or campers who desire a lot of comforts. Overall, its a nice and well run CG, but we are not compelled to repeat with all the other options in the area.

Old lady was sweet to us, I saw the reviews about her being not so sweet but she was nice and got us in last minute. The gentleman brought us a whole tractor full of wood and was nice as well. Trees were down like other reviews stated, they mentioned they had a massive storm. Not something I feel they should be judged for, they were concerned about my kids and asked them to keep away from the left side because of that.
TravelerGreat customer service! Helped us set up, talked with us. Checked in with us. Quite. It’s definitely a resort. But it was a great spot for a one nighter.
Scout
Nice large tent sites. They also have a geodesic dome you can rent. Website was not set up yet.

We don't usually do RV parks but didn't want to fight for camp spots during the 4th of July long weekend. We ended up booking here on the 4th and 5th of July and had a great time camping along the river, going to the hot springs across the street and walking the area. This is a beautiful resort and a little more on the campy side which we liked.
The fireworks show was spectacular and from site 7 which sits right on the bend of the creek where there is a brush clearing. This was perfect for our golden retriever as we could tie her on a long lead and she could swim her heart out. Site seven also seemed really large compared to other as there was a large tree between the next site where we tied up a hammock.
One thing to mention on camp 7 is that its one of the few areas with the brush cleared wide open on the creek. If you don't put a camp chair or something to the side of the picnic table, we found other campers will come and hang out there in your campsite as they must think its an open space to get to the water. After putting a chair there, we were disturbed less.
The hot springs accross the highway are $12 a person and we took a hot soak in the 106 degree enclosed mineral bath/pool area and rotated to the 86 degree pool outside. Kids and families all seemed to stay in the pool area while adults in the mineral bath area. Its more rustic hot springs but we did find it nice and someone told me they drain the mineral bath nightly and pressure wash it for the next day (unconfirmed)
If you are coming on the 4th of July, I'll let you know the music starts around 4pm where the have a DJ playing music till about 10pm on the other side of the highway near the restaurant were the majority of people watched and shot off fireworks of their own. We enjoyed the camp site knowing that it was just for that day and planned it would be a loud night which it was. The fireworks started around 8/9pm and went to about 1 am. The show seemed to wrap up around 10:30 but was hard to tell what was the show vs people shooting off their own. We ended up going to bed around 11pm but booms and crackles kept us up till the crowd died down. We didn't mind but thought I'd mention if you plan to come for a quite evening over this holiday.
GuideThis is a cute little camp site. We were right next to the river which was amazing. But some of the sites are for permanent residents, which feels weird. They have a laundry room, showers and bathrooms. Not the cleanest. But do the trick. A little road noisy. But loved the attention to the flowers and the grounds.

Just finished up my stay here after snagging a cancellation and I’m absolutely blown away. This was my first lookout tower experience, I was little skeptical about spending $80 post tax for this, but it was well worth it. Beautiful secluded tower with amazing views on almost every side of the tower. So many amenities, this is better than a lot of Air BnBs I’ve stayed at. Working fridge w freezer, coffee maker, microwave, two burner stove, heater, cooking utensils, pots/pans, working electricity and 4 bars of service. I usually go for more remote locations, but this was a wonderful break from sleeping outside in a tent for 8 days straight. Super comfy stay. The drive up was fine. Almost any car could drive up, just be careful with FWD when it gets muddy. As someone who visited solo I felt extremely safe. Padlock on the gate on the road, padlock on the front door, and a padlock on the door taking you up to the 3rd story. Absolutely awesome place for watching sunset, sunrise, and stargazing! I got the opportunity to watch a lightning storm in the middle of the night. trash is PACK IN PACK OUT! There is NO RUNNING WATER here. Pit toilet only. Well worth the money.
ScoutWe wanted to camp (not charge, just park the car and camp) and once they found out we have an electric car they would not allow us to even come on the property. It does not mention this anywhere.
ScoutThis is Steve at the Missoula KOA. I have seen him being unnecessarily aggressive and yelling at clueless campers before. So when he aggressively chased and swerved in front of my brothers car WITH my kids in it for accused speeding I stopped and watched from a distance. When I heard him starting to yell I intervened. You don’t yell at, towards, or around my kids. I told him to back off and he refused. He only got angrier and louder. Granted, I yelled back but we eventually parted ways. I returned to my RV to get out of wet clothes and immediately went to the office looking for a manager. They said he has been notified and should be calling me soon. On my way back to my site I saw Steve pull up to my RV where my Wife, kids, and brother were. He came there looking for a fight and I could hear him yelling at my wife and brother from down the street. That’s when I STARTING YELLING AT HIM TO GET AWAY. I told him multiple times(not on video) to go to the office and get a manager. He only got angrier. Unknown to me at the time, he reached and attempted to pull out his gun multiple times. If it wasn’t for his loose pants catching the gun and co-worker showing up, I’d be dead. The manager never called. He never had the intention to call and smooth things over to make us feel at ease for the night. After two hours I called the office. They said“he should call soon”. I needed action taken that night so I had to file charges with the police. My poor kids were absolutely terrified at this point. I didn’t hear from the manager until the next morning when they kicked me out for yelling at their employee. All they did was defend him. Even after they reviewed video with law enforcement. Good thing I was already leaving. My kids were so scared and did not feel safe there. Do yourself a favor and go through the reviews. This isn’t an isolated incident.

Nice flat spots with room as well as cabins. Can get busy in summer but worth it if you’ve never been; it is a real cool spot.
Guide
Definitely 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
ScoutWe did not have reservations so got a last spot by dumpsters, water and power, no sewer. Dumping at their station in am, she came zooming down to ask if we needed help, said we had stayed in #1 but were charged $10 to dump
Guide
This is a great location along the Clark Fork river. Staff was very friendly. Sites were well maintained and sufficient.
Cons: Interstate noise and the occasional train whistle would keep me from using the facility for nothing more than an overnight stop.
GuideNice big spots, pool, hiking trails, pickle ball court, frisbee golf,
Guide
Great place to soak up in the hot springs. They have a huge variety of separate pools to choose from. $35 for tent spot and $14 per person to soak in their hot spring pools. Beautiful views all around.

*Must rent entire facility*
"Camp Paxson sits on the shores of Seeley Lake, one of a chain of five lakes nestled between the Swan Mountain Range and the Mission Mountain Range in Western Montana. It is a 15-acre peninsula of land that Salish, Blackfeet, and Crow tribes cared for, hunted, and fished for centuries prior to European colonization and we recognize their time-honored traditions and connections rooted in the earth. While the history of the land reaches centuries back, the buildings on this Forest Service landmark are just 80 years old. Camp Paxson originally consisted of a tent camp with six small frame structures. By the 1930s, a larger facility was needed. The Depression-era Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps began building the current facility in 1939, and the bathhouses and cabins were completed in 1940. Because of its unique architecture and as an example of the contributions of the WPA and CCC during the Depression years, Camp Paxson was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The camp was originally used by a variety of groups including the Boy Scouts and the Forest Service for their Smokejumper training housing. Camp Paxson is a Lolo National Forest Service site administered by the Camp Paxson Preservation Project, a non-profit organization that operates with the mission to preserve and improve historic Camp Paxson and to advance the public’s appreciation of this cultural and natural resource both locally and regionally through expanded appropriate use. The facility is used by schools, churches, weddings, family reunions, and other gatherings of large groups.

$42 for fire pit and picnic table! No privacy between the spots. That said, it’s a very beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet. Nice playground for the kids . Showers and bathrooms looked like they had been clean to, but overall were in need of a deep cleaning. The shower curtains were on the toilet stalls… Not sure how you keep those clean thoroughly.
Restaurant was really nice and tasty. Nice people. But they are only open till 230 even though their website says they are open for dinner. I was hoping to stay one more day because it was so peaceful but we needed to get going on our trip.
Guide
The pics say it all so close to glacier national Park without the glacier prices don't miss this one. Also the lake looks like Caribbean

I think west fork butte is one of the coolest locations to stay at if you can get a reservation. No running water but there’s a wood stove with plenty of firewood and a pit toilet. It can be a bit of a spooky walk down at night but an amazing view at sunrise.
TravelerSuper big KOA. Used to be located out of the country, but now surrounded by the city! Lots of campers, had a quiet evening… Great showers and toilet rooms.
ScoutWe lived in our 5th wheel at turah RV park for 2 years and my complaint is about the owner. She will charge double the kilowatt for usage and charge a 25$ meter fee every month. Our power bill for our 25' 5th wheel in the summer would average 200$ a month and 350$ in winter. That is really high for any RV. We eventually moved to a house and our bill here was 95$ for the month and we ran out A/C constantly. That's more like it. The owner is a back stabbing rip off artist. She made up that we owed her $200 for groceries when we were about to move. My wife works at a grocery store and that's where we got 90% of our groceries. Besides the RV store is full of food that is very expired. She will treat people horribly and start rumors about you. I beg everyone to not stay at turah RV.
ScoutIf you want a beautiful campsite and unbelievable hostility and belittling treatment, this is the place for you. I use KOAs frequently. I booked and prepaid for a premium tent site at this, where the description stated a pickup camper was acceptable. I have a newer model F250 with a camper shell that I built out/converted into a very nice camping setup. Apparently that doesn’t qualify as a“pickup camper” in their books and instead qualifies as“vehicle sleeping”. They told me my options were to buy a tent- which I wouldn’t be allowed to set up because it was after dusk- or get a refund and leave. To quote the man behind the counter who spoke to me like I wasn’t there,“Well there’s a Walmart across the street. She can get a tent there or she can park in their parking lot overnight if you’re going to sleep in your vehicle”. Another staff member stated,“They’re strict you know, trying to keep out the homeless people and riff raff”. 1. Thank you nameless staff member for confirming that these rules are arbitrary and discriminatory by design 2. How does that at all explain why I couldn’t stay in my**already paid for** site and sleep in a camper buildout? They still checked me in, gave me a parking tag, bathroom codes and map. Said nameless staff member still led me by golf cart to my campsite. I, mistakenly, believed this was them giving me the go ahead to stay in my camper and that they were going to let it slide. It was one single night after all. I was showered, lights out, and in bed by 10pm. Wrong. At 11:15pm someone starts tapping on my window. It’s another KOA staff member telling me I have to have a tent. Except the Walmart is now closed and there’s nowhere to buy one. I explained I was traveling solo, out of state, had nowhere else to go, only there for the night, and asked what it was he wanted me to do in the middle of the night. He didn’t respond and walked away. I thought this meant they were just going to be decent human beings for the night. Wrong again. 12:15am police are pounding on my camper door.“The business wants you trespassed, you have 20 minutes to leave” 20 minutes to leave in the middle of the night, from a site I paid for, was checked into, and was already asleep in because I didn’t have a tent? Because I was sleeping a customized camper that locked from the inside because Im a woman traveling alone? Yep. The police explained my options were a truck stop 10 miles down the road or Walmart. I was traveling solo, staying one night after traveling from Arizona. It was the college homecoming so there were no hotel vacancies. The staff had absolutely no care for that fact or the fact that I was traveling alone. Again, I had booked and prepaid for this site 2 weeks prior. I read the rules. Thought I understood said rules. Still don’t understand how they considered that violating the rules. The staff and this KOA have absolutely zero concern for where you’ll end up when they turn you away.
TravelerHappy with the campsite. Nice trees. People were very friendly
TravelerWell kept. Great showers. Would go back.

This campground is right on the Lochsa River behind Lochsa Lodge. Some sites are reservable and some are FCFS. The river there is gorgeous. If you have a side by side there are lots of places to explore nearby. And if you don’t feel like cooking, you can run up to the Lochsa Lodge restaurant for a meal.

Internet pretty weak from our site.

Nice stopover on our trip.
Formerly a Jellystone park, and our GPS had a hard time finding it by the address on the confirmation info, but could find it by their name. Apparently the GPS still has the street as Jellystone.
Decent green space between sites, but the length was pretty short. I'm guessing this was built before bigger RVs were commonplace? We parked all the way back in the site, our rear was literally up to the road, and we still had to do some maneuvering to park the truck. Definitely could not have stayed Attached.
Laundry facilities were reasonably priced, clean, and had a nice lounge area. $5.00 a load, but includes dryer as well.
Park is on a cashless system. Laundry, giftshop etc all only take credit or debit cards.
Everyone we met, both staff & guests was very nice. They even kept the shop & pool area open late for guests to try and see the Northern Lights.
Overall a pleasant park, just a little tight for our set up.
