Best Glamping near Norris, MT

Lots to do in this park with local history and geology being the focuses. Not far off 90 if you’re road tripping. The campground is simple and open. Pros: different sleeping options (tent, RV, cabin, yurt, tipi), cave tours, river access, short hiking trails, lots of history (native, mining, settlers, etc), ranger talks, ice/wood camp store, helpful rangers, stargazing, nice modern bathrooms. Cons: very open campground with no privacy nor shade, no tent-only area, lots of RVs. We’d definitely visit again.

Best out of the 7 campsites we visited on our Montana trip! It’s gorgeous and open and has trees you can easily sling up hammocks. Gorgeous lake.

Located in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest near Butte, Montana, Delmoe Lake was a beautiful place to camp for a night. The area is popular with OHV’s and you will pass multiple staging areas on the drive up as well as many others camping along the way up to the campground. It’s a ~10 mile drive on a well maintained gravel road that is accessible from I-90 by taking either exit 241 or 233 (we're driving cross country so it was important to find some place that was easy to get to yet far enough away to feel like we were out in nature). There are two camping loops as well as a day use area. Sites cost $5/night plus $3 for any additional vehicles (we had 2 cars so it was $8 for the night). Sites include a picnic table and fire ring, and there was ample firewood left by others for us to use. Pit toilets are also available. We were here in late July and there were a decent amount of mosquitos. Echoing the previous review, there was a fair amount of trash around but it was still a pleasant place to spend the night.

Carter Lake south shore. NIce pull through sites with electric. Dump station with easy access. Many sites on the lake and more with lake view. Many shaded sites. Boats allowed. Very pleasant experience.

We camped here with a group of families and the playground was nice for the kids. There aren’t many trees and the land is flat but we were able to really keep a decent eye of the kids running around because of it and the views were still beautiful. Loved the caverns!

This is actually a 5-star campground in terms of cleanliness and amenities. Nice bathrooms, showers, electric, drinking water, playground, and all that. It’s basically a wide open field with a few trees and no privacy, which isn’t my usual style and that’s why it’s only a 4 star for me. The cavern tour is also great, fun, beautiful, informative...

Did you know you can print out a packet for your little ones to become Cub Rangers at this State Park? There are great amenities for both camping and RV'S with a child's playground located on the camp. With a short walk up and into the mountain you can tour the caverns.

Cool campground but extremely flat with very little trees to provide shading. Campsites are very close to one another and without trees or other shrubbery on campground itself, there's not a ton of privacy. Right at the base of cave, makes it a comfortable stay right before any cave tours begin. Convenient spot with power & water hook up.

We stayed in the cabins at the campground, which were clean and well taken care of. There is a playground in the middle of the campground, as well as many trails to explore and places to ride a bike. The caverns were closed for the season, but the visitor center was open and fun to visit.

I came here for a wedding… I’m apparently into self torture. 😆 The campground was very well maintained. And the camp hosts are very nice. The bathrooms are clean. The showers looked okay but I didn’t use them. It was VERY hot and not much shade at all so prepare to sweat to death. We also had some wind that I swear was going to knock the tent over. The mountains around the camp area are insanely majestic- my favorite part and the reason for my three stars. There is also an amphitheater (where the wedding I attended was held). The campground is good for group events for sure.

What a nice, quiet little spot.  Not much shade, but lots of space between campsites. Plenty of wildlife (rabbits, snakes, deer).

Quiet in the off season

Caverns are worth the trip. Relaxing campground!

This campground was a pleasant surprise. We had initially planned to camp at Glacier but were thwarted by fire and smoke. We booked this campground when we arrived at the State Park, no problem. The road circles the campground. There are five loops inside the outer road, with about 7 campsites per loop, and the playground and bathrooms in the center. The sites have electric hookups. We were able to fill our water tanks with spigots centrally located throughout the campground, but could not keep it connected. No sewer, but the bathroom is very convenient. The site was level with a fire pit and very spacious. The State Park was awesome. We went hiking and the cave tour was great. They have two souvenir stores and one cafe near the cave. We stayed there for 4 nights which was perfect for what we had planned. Would highly recommend.

Caves were wonderful! Campground is near the Jefferson River but it is across the highway and has private property on the other side. There were fishing access about a mile down the road. It would be a nice stop for a day/night stay but not any more. Showers were nice and clean.

We arrived on a smokey evening, Butte was over 250 AQI and our face masks came in handy. Fortunately, the campground was around 130 AQi.

Great access to L&C caverns. Electric only campsite. Water fill and dump station are separate from sites. One to 2 bars on at&t or Verizon.

While driving across the country I was looking for a place to camp between Yellowstone and Butte, MT and this campground came up. It was a little pricey for my needs (just somewhere to stay a night with a shower) but I also didn’t get a chance to fully enjoy the park. The campground is in an open field with few trees near a large river and train tracks cradled by mountains. There are readily available amenities but few stores of gas stations nearby. The drive both in and out were incredible!

This was a really beautiful spot in between the mountains. The drive out was gorgeous by the river. The site was clean and the host was nice. I went when the water was shut off, so I can’t speak to those facilities. There are supposed to be hiking trails accessible from the campground, but I didn’t have time to check them out.

The campground is very open, flat and has very very little shade. It is not comfortable to stay at during the summer. The facilities are nice, clean and the camp staff has always been great. The campground is more a spot to facilitate visiting the caverns which are a natural wonder.

Amazing family campsite with amenities, gift shop and stores. For small children it's quite a hike for them, they do get fatigued on the way, there are pit stops along the hill with shade for rest, follow tour guide. The caverns has been modified since I was young making paths and walking through easier with better footing and railing for balance. You will see live animals and bats!! Shh.. Lots of history to learn. The family will love this trip! I call it the Bat Cave

Caves and Tipis! plus the chance to walk in Louis and Clark's moccasins!! Bring bug spray though!

These caverns are AWESOME! The tours teach you so much and the beauty you see is amazing. A bit of hiking is required so be ready for that!

$14/night tent camping. Spent two nights. Thursday night was great. Plenty of site for everybody to spread out. Friday night was much more crowded. Sites are all nice and flat and level for tent camping. Vault toilets are very clean. There is a playground if you have kids. Decent hiking, unfortunately the caves themselves were closed during our stay. Easy access from I-90. Would stay again mid-week or off season, but during prime time I'd prefer a bit more seclusion.
