    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

    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.

    Camp Rotary

    Great for winter camping

    I camp here with Boy Scouts since the place is often reserved for youth organizations. In the winter it can be fun but to climb some hills. Each campground has cabins which hold about 11 people and tent spaces out side. The cabin do have semi-decent heating, but not AC. The bathrooms are really big and well developed (and super warm for the winter). There is also a big “roof building” with picknick tables to eat food.

    Great Falls KOA

    Surprising oasis

    In an area of mostly open fields, this KOA is filled with nice trees. It is a very large campground with RV sites, cabins, and tent sites. 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. The wifi was pretty good. The bathrooms could use some updating. They are nice single occupancy toilet/shower combos but some had damage on the tile, missing soap dispenser, non functional paper towel dispensers. Close to town but no city noise.

    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.

    Benton RV Park & Campground

    Terrible

    Benton RV Park in Fort Benton Montana is run by a very nice lady. The restrooms and showers are very clean. Those are the only nice things I can say about this place. They have a full page of rules and regulations with threats of eviction if not obeyed. Fear not though none were enforced. This is what lead us to depart early. One of there rules is to respect the campsites of others and not short cut through them. The other rule that we took issue with is children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Our campsite was overrun by a group of 6 kids. Playing and cutting through the entire time we stayed there. We had kids outside our camper door in our campsite the entire time we were there. We couldn't sit outside and enjoy our picnic table for the kids toys and their constant running back and forth. We found the photos on Benton RV Park website very deciving. They must have been very old. They depict green grass and well spaced RV's. The reality is dead brown grass and being so close to your neighbor it's more a parking lot located in an area where the houses across The street ends at an industrial like area. So if you have children you want to let run wild and you don't mind everyone cutting through your campsite this place is for you. Otherwise stay away.

    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!


Guide to Malmstrom AFB

Cabin rentals near Malmstrom AFB provide overnight accommodations in the high plains region of central Montana, where elevations range from 3,300 to 4,500 feet. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with hot, dry summers reaching 90°F and cold winters often dropping below freezing. Most cabin rentals require advance planning due to limited availability and seasonal access restrictions.

What to do

Explore prairie hiking trails: Great Falls KOA offers access to a nature trail system behind the property. "There is a nature trail out the back that was interesting," notes one visitor who appreciated this unexpected feature at an urban campground.

Visit local wildlife areas: Benton RV Park & Campground serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby wildlife refuges. "Stopped here for a one nighter on the way to another destination," mentions one camper who used the location as a launching point for regional exploration.

Rock collecting expeditions: The area surrounding Dry Wolf Cabin provides opportunities for amateur geologists. According to a visitor, there are "lots of activities nearby rock hounding/fossils, hikes, small waterfall, swimming in creek."

What campers like

Year-round accessibility: Several cabins maintain comfortable temperatures regardless of season. At Dry Wolf Cabin, "cabin stays cool in the summer and has wood stove for cold winters. Propane stove makes cooking easy," as one visitor observed.

Family-friendly amenities: Great Falls KOA provides extensive recreation options for families with children. "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," reports one satisfied camper.

Private tent village setup: Some campgrounds offer specialized tent accommodations with privacy features. "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," explains one camper at Great Falls KOA.

What you should know

Water availability concerns: Several cabin locations require self-supplied water. At Dry Wolf Cabin, visitors need to collect "water from nearby creek (or campground a few miles up road has well and spring with potable water)."

Seasonal maintenance issues: Fall visitors should expect reduced services at certain locations. At Great Falls KOA, "most everything was shut down for the season which is something to keep in mind if you visit in the fall."

Cleaning requirements: Some cabins may require initial cleaning upon arrival. At Moose Creek Campground, remote cabins have minimal maintenance between guests, so visitors should bring cleaning supplies.

Child-focused activities: Certain campgrounds offer specialized recreation areas for different age groups. Great Falls KOA features "a large playground, volleyball court, basketball, and pools," making it particularly suitable for active children.

Heating considerations: Cabins vary significantly in temperature control. Camp Rotary cabins "do have semi-decent heating, but not AC," so families should pack accordingly for seasonal temperature variations.

Tips from RVers

Site spacing considerations: Not all RV sites offer equal privacy or space. At Benton RV Park & Campground, a visitor noted, "The reality is dead brown grass and being so close to your neighbor it's more a parking lot."

Proximity to supplies: Urban campgrounds provide convenient access to forgotten items. As one Great Falls KOA visitor noted, "you can easily drive into the city to pick up whatever you forgot to pack."

Winter accessibility: For cold-weather camping, look for cabins with proper heating systems. Great Falls KOA remains "Open All Year" with heated cabins that accommodate winter travelers, though availability may be limited during severe weather conditions.
