Best RV Parks & Resorts near Kootenai National Forest

Great place to stay. Big grassy area in the middle of the RV park with picnic tables, great for walking dogs or just relaxing in the grass. There is also a small basketball court. Minimal bugs- just a few knats that would seek out the lights at night. Site was level and just enough space for trailer and truck(a bit crowded but worked), full sun, no shade and a picnic table. Splitter on the water spiket provided. Light road noise from hwy nearby, but not bad. Customer service was nice and accommodating.$2 wash/$2 dryer so a little high, but the laundry services were clean. Gravel back-in site, asphalt roads, great for strolling around in the evening. 

We stayed for 7 days so paid for 6 and the 7th was free. They also accept Good Sam members. 

The wifi was a tad slow, but for the most part worked pretty good. Hotspot on cell for video calls and Netflix though. 

Close to the grocery(Super 1 Foods) and 2 miles from the rodeo grounds and Blue Moon Nite Club where they have a weekly Thursday Rodeo in the summer. It was fun! Very accessible to Whitefish, Kalispell, downtown Columbia Falls, Hungry Horse, and Glacier National Park.*The cajun restaurant in Whitefish Tupelo Grille was awesome!!

this a very pleasant rv park but it is in the middle of town and very difficult to find. lots of trees and grass but spaces are close together. if you are not looking for anything close to actual camping but close to glacier and other attractions this is the place for you. wifi available but very slow.

i only gave it three stars because the pet area was disgusting. even though dog bags were available, there was poop everywhere. the area was very small.  there is as fencing and a gate but further down was wide open with no gate.

This old Guard Station is in the perfect location. Easy to drive to and close to miles and miles of trails in the Kootenai National Forest. Plenty of beds for a full family - four upstairs and one downstairs. History galore in the building and surrounding areas. Some complaints of mice - but that’s to be expected from a building from 1908.

This a really nice campground. It's is small and intimate with a mix of some seasonal and tourist sites. They are average in size. Sites are, level. Full hookups. Bathrooms are good. The negatives are that it is close to Hwy 2, so road noise came be aggravating for some. There are no other amenities like pool, playground, store, etc. The town itself is great. Walkable. Very nice brewery. Riverfront park is nice. Libby dam area is worth a drive up. Make sure to visit Kootenai Falls. Amazing!! If you have the time, I would see highly recommend Ross Cedars. The giant cedars are really neat.

Modern and beautiful campground. Close to all the wonders of Idaho's panhandle. They have several back in and pull through sites with more on the way. Choice of full hookups, or water and electric. Their showers are emaculant and luxurious. Wife refused to use ours. They have luxury cabins and covered wagon glamping. Very family and senior friendly. Reasonably priced, can't loose booking here.

A very nice small campground. About 2/3 of the sites are full hookups. Rest water and electric. Tent sites. Owners are great people. Very helpful for sure. They have a path you can walk down right to the Kootanie river with chairs and picnic tables to sit on. Very nice. Grounds are clean and tidy. Owners care a lot about their customers. Bathrooms are clean. Showers also clean. Would recommend staying here if your in the area.

Such a perfect spot to explore the Kootenai forest and falls. Great staff! Full hookups and some are on the little creek that you can wade and swim in! Some shade at some sites.

Rough road going west from Polebridge not suitable for RvS. Much better road eastbound from Eureka side. Nice camp for a tent camp or camper. Creek close. Beautiful mountains getting there from Eureka

This CG is behind a motel and next to a gold course. Sited are in a row, field like setting, with no shade which would block the beautiful views of the mountains. The grass looked like a golf course, well manicured and maintained. The sites were close together and not extremely level. But, they were doable.. Full hookups. The bathhouse was clean and each had 1 shower in the men's and women's. There is a landry and the motel has a restaurant. It wasn't open when we were there though, but heard that the food was really good. We had decent AT&T service. The Canadian border was just down the road. Eureka is a cute little walkable downtown with good restaurants, specialty shops, liquor store and a really good grocery. A great stop over.

This is a great campsite.  The pit toilet is clean and it is set up as a horse camp.  Ramps for loading horses and trough for feeding.  Plenty of space for tents and small campers but as noted before, the road from Polebridge is a little tough for RVs.

Just stayed a single night here. It's a first come, first serve site with no fee. We camped in the back of our truck. Our site was the farthest from the river but that was perfect with three doggos. Nice level site with fire pit, grill included, and a nice picnic table. While we weren't next to the river, we were right next to Dunn Creek. At this time of year the creek is dry but I can imagine it's lovely in the spring when the snow melts. Bear-proof trash cans were located at each site, there was a boat launch and dock as well as large boat trailer parking area featuring a basketball hoop. A hand pump for potable water was centrally located as well as a vault toilet for campers. This campground was a short distance from the highway but we didn't notice any road noise. What we did hear and see were helicopters as it is fire season and they were scooping water from the river for fire mitigation. The campground sites are spaced far apart which is nice for privacy. Will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our time at this camp. Most sites are for RVs, but we got a tent site. Unfortunately, my two year old son didn’t settle for bed easily when camping. I ended up in hotels a couple nights, just because I didn’t want to bother the other campers. The time I did stay there was nice. The hosts are very helpful and kind as well.

There was good and not as good. It has generous sites, clean restrooms and laundry. Having shade in the midst of record breaking heatwave is nice. Fun note: There is a self serve car was just outside the entrance that has a bay for RVs. We don't see that often. The not as good is the train and some road noise, but in this area, most CG do. Libby is a cute little town with a lot of interesting history. Kootenai Falls and Ross Creek Cedars are definitely a must .

This place was filled to the brim with permanents. I didnt even feel like I was camping I felt like I was invading someones home.

There was trash in out fire pit and that was gross.

The camp hosts were real nice. The first spot we got we didnt fit in so they accommodated and found us something that would work for our rig. They have a nice convenience store, easy boat access and a restaurant with full bar.

There were kids everywhere! at the bar, on atvs, riding bikes, jumping around us while we were fishing for no reason.

So many people had their dogs off leash with poor manners and no recall. I had 2 dogs approach me aggressively. I saw a dog go after someone walking their lil Pomeranian, the owner looked terrified. We did not feel comfortable walking our dogs cause of all the aggressive off leash dogs.

Full hookups worked as they should no complaints there.

Would not stay here again.

Nice RV campsites with water & electric hookups yr round. WiFi & free laundry, bathroom,&showers via coded entry.

Nice clean campground. All road leading throughout are paved and spots are nicely spaced. Most have electric hookups and most are reservations. Great place to take a boat as some spots come with a boat slip as well. We had fun and will be doing it again soon!

When I need to disconnect from the world, be surrounded by the beauty of forests and crystal clear water, this is my sanctuary. It has become busier over the years but locals and new visitors alike will find newly expanded and leveled sites just off the lake and 13 coveted on water sites. There are vault facilities but I take those with a grain of salt, it’s camping, in the mountains, it’s the give and take. I drive a 24’ vintage RV so I know that I can literally pack in, pack out.

There are two main access roads if you are coming from the backside of Whitefish Lake or from Highway 93 at Olney, Red Meadow Road can also be accessed from Polebridge, Eureka or from across the Canadian Boarder. So many amazing trails and back roads to explore. The lookouts are always worth the effort! The road from Whitefish Lake is rough and only graded as needed. When coming from Olney the lower part of the road is washboarded but not horrible. Once you reach mile marker 9 at the Lower Whitefish Lake Road cut-across they are running active logging so the road is graded and oiled. Before the Lake is not oiled and areas can be spotty but for the most part is one of the nicer back country roads I have taken.

The Lake itself is enchanting. The water so clear you can see the bottom as the fish swim by. You will often encounter deer, moose and of course the occasional bear. My favorite thing to do is float in my kayak and watch the clouds pass along the mountainside. I’ve been coming here since I was a child and I enjoy sharing the beauty of this area with my family and friends.

Open May-Sept. This park offers short term and seasonal spots. A lot of Canadians have seasonal spots to vaca in USA. Most of the short term sites are down the hill into a tree shaded valley. From the top of the hill are beautiful views of the Rockies.. Hookups. The last price was around $28 a night. Really good for a site with services. There is no wifi and cell service isn't available at the sites down the hill. At the top of the hill usually around 3-4 bars. The host and other guests were very nice. The laundry and bathrooms were clean, although tired. The Canadian border is 2 miles north. The cute little town of Eureka is about 5 miles south. There you will find good restaurants, liquor store, nice well stocked grocery, retail shops and more. Lake Koocanusa is close by for boating, fishing and swimming if you want to brave the cold water.
