    Missoula KOA Holiday

    New Favorite . . .

    This place is on my shortlist for favorites for my week long getaway with my daughter who is 5. To be honest I was a bit concerned after reading a couple reviews describing the place. But hey, we all have bad days, and if I can read 90% positive vibe from a review I will check it out. I will say This place is an oasis that is in a manufactured home area that is very nice. Once you are in, it is a pure KOA experience. So far no company consistently does better than OK always across the board.

    Could not be happier with the customer service, and the staff that work here. Just simply top notch. They represent the true spirit of the KOA campgrounds. they lead you to your campsite, they will deliver wood for you, they monitor the pool at all times, make it easy to rent a little bike, and Wednesday through Saturday they have ice cream socials.

    I was a bit surprised that I did not see more children here. They have all the amenities that they have in Billings. I think some of the other reviews do not paint a quality picture of this place from a child’s eye. This is my daughters favorite place. From the bike rental to the playground, putt putt golf, swimming pool (2 Adult hot tubs - very clean).

    Of course as Tenters the big thing I look at is where I am pounding in my stakes :-) and the grass here in Missoula is perfect. They have several very creative approaches to tent sites. The one that I am staying at has a tent circle, five sites in the round, facing outward, fenced on each side with a picnic table, stand up barbecue, fire pit that is grated, picnic table, running water, electricity, and nice grass. I wish more campgrounds had this creative approach. Everything is well spread out and segregated between cabins, centers, and RV’s.

    They even have two really nice teepees in the center of the campground. They are super deluxe and the next time I come here I will be staying in one of them. See the photos.

    The campground store is the best stock store of all the KOA’s that I stayed in on this trip. They have everything from ice cream sandwiches to souvenirs.

    The facilities are well-maintained and very clean. I’d like the cypher locks on the bathrooms/showers for safety. The driveways are well-maintained, they have a painted bike path for riders. Overall this was just wonderful!

    If you have a couple days here I would suggest a 40 minute drive to the National Bison Range. The kids will love it!

    PS - My daughter wanted me to add that they have three very large bunnies that roll around the campground. She loves them.

    Whitefish-Kalispell North KOA

    Family friendly, not really “camping”

    If you’re looking for family friendly, this is your spot. Lots of kids activities. Free breakfast. Washrooms, showers and laundry facility available. Scenically, it’s not very pretty. Sites are very close together with little privacy. Our spot was so small we couldn’t fit our tent, picnic table and fire pit in it. We had to park somewhere else, and move the picnic table our. If you prefer exploring nature and quiet, this isn’t the park for you.

    Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground

    Pretty and quiet

    $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.

    Kreis Pond Campground

    Kreis Pond

    Great secret camping spot. There’s only about 5 spots and summer will be crowded when it’s hot and awesome weather! Bring tubes to float around the water and hammock to hang around. Neat, fun area especially with the Sleeping Woman hike so close. Once you drive up the mountain, the trailhead is off to the left and it’s a heavy incline to the top so be prepared with lots of water and an awesome view at the end. 360 view of the Missoula Valley, Bitteroot Mountain Range, Flathead in the distance and Mission Mountains as well.

    The Jack Saloon

    Nice and peaceful

    We stayed at one of the cabins, small but with everything that you need (bed, coffee maker, bathroom with toiletries, mini fridge and microwave). There are several cute hiking trails with gorgeous scenery. Also, the saloon offers good comfort food and beverages.

    Beavertail Hill State Park Campground

    A Gem

    We were a little nervous after reading the other reviews, but very pleasantly surprised. The sites are pretty spacious for the most part; some on the banks of the Clark Fork River. Very clean area and bathrooms. The park manager is super friendly and nice. The 1 mile Nature Trail around the area is really well maintained and beautiful. There are 2 Tipi sites you can rent as well. Yes, it's about a quarter mile from I 90, the highway noise is minimal in my opinion. $30 per night with electric only for out of state, $20 for Montanans or those with a non- resident pass. Looks like most sites have plenty of shade for the summer days. The Ghost Town of Garnet is close by, an excellent day trip. Be sure to stop in at Parkers in Drummond for an amazing real milkshake!!

    Whitefish-Kalispell North KOA

    Conveniently located in Whitefish MT.

    Wonderful little campground located just south of Whitefish Montana on highway 93. This KOA has a lot to offer from cabins to RV parking and several tent camping locations. Just a few minutes drive north and you will enter the small ski town of Whitefish Montana. Plenty of places to eat, shop or buy your groceries. During the summer months be sure to visit Whitefish Lake. 20 minute drive east and you will arrive in West Glacier Park. This RV park is located in a wooded area and is very family friendly with a local pizzeria on site.

    Beavertail Hill State Park Campground

    I’d take a pass...

    …unless it's late & you’re desperate for a camp site. 

    Plenty of available sites in October— other campers were mainly hunters (or fishers).  No camp host; ADA pit toilet only one open (comfort station closed); all water was winterized & no elec hook-up available.  (Fees sign— see photo-- left no indication that fees were seasonal; we were ready with our contribution but since nobody to collect, we didn’t leave it.)   24 sites (1 ADA) + 2 tipi sites, all nicely spaced & shrubbery for privacy; #1-12 by the river. 

    The biggest deterrent to this CG is the many trains that came through during the night— 3-4/hr, all night— and they all blasted their whistles 3-4 times each!  I guess if you are immuned to that, this would be a great campsite.


Guide to Milltown

Milltown, Montana sits at the confluence of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot rivers at an elevation of 3,353 feet. The area experiences warm summers with temperatures typically ranging from 75-90°F and cold winters that can drop below freezing. Glamping options near Milltown remain open year-round with seasonal considerations affecting availability from May through October, with some luxury camping facilities maintaining winter operations.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Beavertail Hill State Park Campground, visitors can access prime fishing spots along the small river running through the property. According to BarbDave B., "We loved the site we were in (9). It was along the water and opened up to a grassy area and the river." The park includes short nature trails for exploring the riverside environment.

Hot springs soaking: The mineral baths at Lolo Hot Springs RV Park & Campground provide both indoor and outdoor soaking options. Michael B. notes, "Great little campground across the road from the hot spring pools." The facility features different temperature pools: "We took a hot soak in the 106 degree enclosed mineral bath/pool area and rotated to the 86 degree pool outside," shares Joshua C.

Creek access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated creek or river access points for swimming and cooling off. "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," explains Joshua C. about Lolo Hot Springs. The creek areas provide natural swimming holes without the crowding of developed beaches.

What campers like

Tent-specific amenities: Kreis Pond Campground offers tent sites with natural features that enhance comfort. "There's only about 5 spots and summer will be crowded when it's hot and awesome weather! Bring tubes to float around the water and hammock to hang around," advises Kirsten R. The limited number of sites creates a more intimate camping experience.

Evening activities: Structured programs and social events create community atmosphere at several locations. "Wednesday through Saturday they have ice cream socials," mentions Craig L., while Joshua C. describes, "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." These organized activities provide entertainment beyond the standard camping experience.

Quieter alternatives: For those seeking more solitude, smaller campgrounds provide a retreat from busier resort-style properties. Kirsten R. describes Kreis Pond as a "Great secret camping spot," while Tom N. notes, "7 well spaced campsites all around the pond. Truly enjoyable stay." These smaller properties tend to have more primitive facilities but greater privacy between sites.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds have limited operating seasons. According to John M., who stayed at Beavertail Hill: "Stayed 4 nights Memorial Day weekend, camp ground was clean and well maintained, camp ground was full all weekend but very peaceful." Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through September, with peak crowds during holiday weekends.

Water advisories: Some properties experience seasonal water quality issues. "Absolutely beautiful. Staff provided jugs of water due to the water boil notice, but we would have preferred a discount from the $53 charge for our no water / no electric site," reports Andrea B. about Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground. Always check current water status before arrival.

Highway and railroad noise: Several campgrounds experience transportation noise despite their natural settings. Jess W. notes about Lee Creek Campground: "Gorgeous part of the national forest, and the lower five campsites are gorgeous and creekside. Big downer- the 70mph highway is a stone's throw away and every passing car seems pretty impossibly loud." Similarly, David H. mentions train noise: "The train mentioned in another review is a pretty big deal breaker though honestly. The tracks are right next to the wall in spaces."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: The Town of Drummond Campground includes play facilities within the camping area. "Playground for kids, and river nearby. Occasional train goes by but much rather that than noise of trucks in Walmart parking lots," notes Rob N. The relatively low cost ($10 per night for basic sites) makes this an economical option for families.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several sites offer wildlife sightings directly from campsites. "My daughter wanted me to add that they have three very large bunnies that roll around the campground. She loves them," shares Craig L. For more extensive wildlife viewing, campers can take day trips to nearby wildlife refuges within 40-minute drives.

Fire safety: Most campgrounds provide fire rings with grates for cooking, but seasonal fire restrictions may apply during dry periods. Derek S. notes, "Nature trail was fun and bathrooms were excellent. Very clean. Camp host was friendly as well. Power hook ups. Firewood vending machine!!!!!" Many sites offer firewood for purchase, eliminating the need to transport wood across county lines.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds require effort to properly level RVs due to terrain. Jennifer H. advises about one KOA: "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... So I did. And here we are with the slide 4 inches from going out all the way." Request specific sites if you have slides or leveling concerns.

Power options vary: While many campgrounds advertise electrical hookups, the amperage and reliability differ significantly. "Great spot with 50 amps I could find!" reports Samantha S. about Jocko Hollow Campground. Most sites offering power provide 30-amp service, with limited 50-amp availability for larger rigs, typically at premium pricing.

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds with RV sites include dump stations on property. For those without sewer hookups, nearby options for dumping tanks typically cost $5-10 per use. Clayton H. notes the Town of Drummond Campground as having "water and power sites" while being "best $10 campsites imaginable," making it an economical overnight stop for smaller rigs "up to 23ft."
