    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

    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!

    Great Falls KOA

    Good for families with kids

    We don’t have kids and so our pull through site missed on what is important to me ( at this expensive price point): nice manicured paved site with shade. The park does have a decent sized area to walk your dog and has a small off leash dog park. Fire pits are a plus. Pool has to be any kids dream with slides and a lot of toys. They also have a petting zoo. The park did its job for our overnight stay but I was happy to leave. Oh, pull through sites are good sized and hookups were quality.

    Great Falls KOA

    Pricey but nice

    BIG campground and therefore has traffic / people noise, but otherwise quiet (not near a highway or trains,etc). Sites are small and close together and not much screening, but are tidy and fairly level. Nice play area for kids. Bathrooms are really nice and clean, and are a shower-toilet combo. The kicker? Free (and tasty!!) pancakes 🥞 for breakfast.

    Great spot for a family weekend

    This is a great place if you want to get away from Great Falls for a night or two. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and a decent amount of trees. Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids.

The area experiences significant seasonal temperature variations, with summer highs averaging 84°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Most camping facilities operate from late May through September, though several remain open year-round with limited amenities during winter months.

What to do

Fishing access points: Pelican Point Fishing Access Site offers direct river access with concrete boat ramps for launching. "Easy access from 15 and nice RV spots. Boat launch ramp and small beach for swimming, fishing and for dogs to play. A sweet gem! No hook up but a pit toilet," notes Tracy R.

Fossil hunting: Areas near Dry Wolf Cabin provide unique geological exploration opportunities. "Lots of activities nearby rock hounding/fossils, hikes, small waterfall, swimming in creek," shares K B., highlighting the natural attractions available within walking distance.

Creek swimming: Multiple creek access points provide relief during hot summer days. "Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids," mentions Jeff E. about Logging Creek, making it a popular option for families seeking water activities.

What campers like

Wildlife viewing: Many campsites provide opportunities to observe native wildlife. "Deer wandered into the campground throughout the night and morning. You can hear logging creek moving from no matter where you are," explains Tara T., describing her overnight experience at Logging Creek.

Water recreation: Several sites offer direct water access for various activities. "This is a high traffic area though. Lots of fisherman's and their boats coming and going. They drove a bit fast for y liking with kids and dogs. But we would stop again for the water access," shares Jean L. about Pelican Point Fishing Access Site.

Camp amenities: Despite being in more remote areas, many sites maintain comfortable facilities. "The campsites are beautiful, seclided, and shaded. There is water for kids to play in. There is a camp host. And several toilets. Endless trail," mentions Jean L. about her stay at Logging Creek.

What you should know

Seasonal facility limitations: Not all amenities operate year-round at certain campgrounds. "It seemed that it needed a little landscape maintenance and was a bit dusty. Most everything was shut down for the season which is something to keep in mind if you visit in the fall," advises Melanie A. about Great Falls KOA.

Road conditions: Access to some sites requires careful driving, especially with larger vehicles. "The road was a lil rough with the washed out gullies in the road with the cattle guards. But I overall loved it," reports Tara T. about reaching Logging Creek campground.

Maintenance issues: Facility upkeep varies widely between sites and seasons. "This campground is okay however it needs some maintenance. It's seems like several of the sites need to be cleaned up and re-leveled," notes Shelly S. about Great Falls KOA.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Multiple recreation options keep children engaged. "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," explains Judy K. about Great Falls KOA.

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience significant recreational traffic that affects noise levels. "The 4th of July crowd was mostly there for motorized recreation. This, combined with peoples general disregard for how loud they are, was annoying," reports Brad T. about his experience at Logging Creek.

Site selection: Position within campgrounds can significantly impact your experience. "Logging creek flows behind the campground and a few of the middle numbered sites are creekside," advises Brad T., suggesting specific site numbers for optimal creek access.

Tips from RVers

Campsite spacing: RV sites vary in size and proximity to neighbors. "The larger spaces are in a newer and less shady portion of the campground," notes Roger W. about Great Falls KOA, providing insight for those with larger rigs.

Yurt camping Malmstrom AFB, Montana: Yurt accommodations at Logging Creek campground provide an alternative for those seeking shelter options beyond traditional tent or RV setups. These structures offer more protection from seasonal weather conditions while maintaining the outdoor camping experience.

Hookup availability: Electric, water and sewer connections vary widely between sites. "No hookups, great fire pit and picnic tables. Plenty of space for multiple vehicles in each spot. Level and right by the water. All the spots have evening shade," explains Michael B. about Pelican Point, clarifying available amenities.
