Kings Hill Campground, situated at approximately 8,000 feet elevation, also accepts pets across its 18 nicely spread-apart sites.

No cell service exists at Many Pines Campground, allowing owners to truly disconnect while camping with their pets.

    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

    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!

    Jo Bonner Campground

    Fine for what it is

    The campground itself is nice. It’s on a cove and sheltered from the wind. It is right in the middle of a village so you are surrounded by houses. The current caretaker is quite rude and not accommodating unfortunately. Pets must be leashes.

    Pet friendly.

    Picnic tables and gazebos throughout the park.

    Goose Bay - Dispersed Camping

    Lovely Stay by the Water

    Not too busy during the weekday. Picnic table and metal fire ring. I didn’t see any bathrooms but might have missed them as I drove in at night. Not a lot of trees so there isn’t much privacy, but the other sites were far enough away that it didn’t matter. Pretty windy. I heard coyotes at night so keep your pets close, otherwise it’s very quiet and peaceful. Just a stones throw away from the water.

Guide to Neihart

Campgrounds near Neihart, Montana offer dispersed camping in Lewis and Clark National Forest at elevations between 4,800 and 8,000 feet. The area experiences cool summer nights with temperatures dropping into the 40s even in July and August. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from late spring through fall, with winter conditions making access difficult from November through April.

What to do

Hiking to Memorial Falls: Access this popular trail from Aspen Campground, located just minutes from the trailhead. "This campground was close to Memorial Falls which we wanted to hike the next day. The setting is wooded and right off scenic Highway 89," notes Judy T.

Fishing in mountain streams: Belt Creek runs through the region providing fishing opportunities. "Aspen campground is great if you are planning on hiking the sluice boxes the next day. The creek does a good job worth background noise," says Mackenzie F.

Stargazing at high elevations: The night skies are exceptionally dark due to minimal light pollution. "We set up camp and fell asleep under the light of a million stars. The star gazing is great here because it's right in the middle of the Little Bely mountains so there is no light pollution," reports Ruby Y.

What campers like

Private, tiered campsites: Many Pines Campground features unique site designs. "Our 5th-wheel is 28 feet long and fit nicely in the space. All campsites have fire pits and picnic tables and are somewhat private. Many are on a two-tier level and actually have steps with railings to go down or up to the picnic table and fire pit," explains Melody M.

Complete digital disconnection: Several campgrounds have no cellular coverage. "This campground is in the mountains. No phone service so you can really get away from everyday life. It is in the lewis and clark national forest so help isn't too far away," reports Judy K.

Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain their restrooms well. "The one out house is nice and clean. No bear boxes so put food in vehicles," advises Christopher G. at Aspen Campground.

What you should know

Pack-in, pack-out required: Kings Hill Campground and others have no trash service. "The campground has water and vault toilets but no trash service so be prepared to pack out everything you bring in," notes Dexter I.

Wildlife encounters: Bears and other wildlife frequent the area. "Wildlife frequently wanders through these campgrounds, so keeping pets leashed is essential for their safety," states a local forest ranger.

Variable weather conditions: At higher elevations like Kings Hill (8,000 feet), weather can change rapidly. "Campground sits at around 8000 feet in elevation," explains Dexter I., making it prone to sudden temperature drops and storms even in summer.

Tips for camping with families

Creek access for children: Logging Creek Campground offers water play opportunities. "There is water for kids to play in. There is a camp host. And several toilets. Endless trail," reports Jean L.

Educational opportunities: "If you do some research in that area there is a place where there are some caves to explore, and another with fossils," mentions Jean L. about activities near Logging Creek.
