    Boulder Creek Lodge

    Boulder Creek

    This is the prettiest little RV park/ campground with lovely little cabins alongside a wonderful creek. Something for everyone here and absolutely delightful. The game room and laundry open all night ! Dog friendly.

    Lolo Hot Springs RV Park & Campground

    Great campground in the mountains

    Best spot with 50 amps I could find! We pulled up and was surprised by how serene the setting was, beautiful creek, awesome big rocks and of course the hot springs across the street. We ended up not even going to the hot springs, there was lots to do! If you get a spot right on the creek it would be super nice, it’s very quiet here and you can hear the water. Definitely recommend.

    Blodgett Campground

    Awesome if You’re Lucky

    Pulled in to find an empty spot, host said they left about 15 minutes prior so hallelujah. 5 sites but spread out enough. Free which rocks and actually have decent cell(Verizon) Good launch point for a few hikes. Host is a cool guy, very knowledgeable of the area.

    Missoula KOA Holiday

    Better options available

    I would not stay here again. We are in our RV camping as a family approximately 70 days a year. Not a ton but enough that we’ve got some experience. We stayed in campground in 46 of the 50 states. This KOA price rivals Key West, on the beach in the Florida panhandle, glacier national park koa at peak summer and posh resorts of the south east with elaborate water parks, lazy rivers and margarita delivery daily. This camp ground does not have the bells and whistles to justify this price. We paid for a deluxe extra wide site. We have a 27ft Class C with a drivers side slide. Not a tiny RV but by no means large. When being directed to our site I was asked to move over so our tires weren’t near the grass. They were near the grass on both sides. I indicated if I moved over my slide wouldn’t open all the way due to the power box. I was nonetheless asked to move. So I did. And here we are with the slide 4 inches from going out all the way and bugs having free rein to enter thru the now non sealed siding. If that were all I might just move on… but kids are $10 extra per night?!? On top of the already $130 campsite fee. So many KOA’s don’t charge extra for kids - we come here because we have kids… who else would come to a KOA?!? Don’t charge extra per kid! I’m in now in excess of $160 for one night for a uneven gravel site, under a glaringly bright white street light making it nearly daylight inside the motorhome, attracting bugs to a slide that isn’t sealed because the site isn’t wide enough to open … and being charged extra. My first ever negative review at those level. Just so so sad. I’d stay at the Glacier, Jim & Mary’s etc. we tried this one because the pool was open late but… not worth 2-3x the price of nicer campground nearby

    Ps - online when we booked it said “last site” hurry book now in essence. Alas… there are multiple campsites empty on both sides. Front and back are full but the ones.. not under the light… are empty….

    Blue Mountain Forest Rd 365 - Dispersed

    Interesting spot

    Road is absolutely clapped out going up for like ten miles. Wouldn’t recommend a rv or trailer unless you don’t mind washboards. I got a flat tire going up so be careful of sharp rocks. The pin is at just a pull off on the side of the road. Drive another mile or so until a corner then take a trail on the side. (Only in a truck). Awesome sunset spot and no one bothered me

    Rock Creek Dry Campsites

    Best secluded spots

    Gorgeous area deep back on rock creek. Probably 10 plus miles. Pass campgrounds with toilets. Individual campsites with fire rings and access to great fishing.

    Beavertail Hill State Park Campground

    Thieves and vandals

    The campground hosts accessed my RV and plugged my toilet 3 times with something filled with maggots and left lice on my furniture. I fought maggots crawling out of my toilet for over a week. I returned a few weeks later to try to stay again and the campground host pointed his ATV at my vehicle and I had to slam on my brakes. He said no check ins, before I had any chance to ask any questions.

    Charles Waters Campground

    Easy access from highway

    Just a mile of Highway 93. I was able to get a campsite, I think one of the very last remaining, on Thursday at about 4:30 PM. Nice wooded area. Pave roadway and parking spot.
