Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ovando, MT

Definitely not a spot that caters to our normal priorities as it's more of a family hangout or long term place, as expected being an RV park. But it worked well as a stop-off spot for laundry, showers, electric recharge, and water fill before continuing on our way the next morning. We were worried it'd be loud being so close to the freeway, but surprisingly couldn't hear it at all.

Facilities: Laundry, showers that feel like home more than any other we've been to, mini-golf, playground, convenience store

Cell Service: As expected plenty of service being so close to Missoula

Starlink: All sites are open to the sky

Solar: All sites are open to the sky

Had a van battery issue so needed to plug in for the cold night. Is as advertised, not for typical bookdockers. Owner is nice and accommodating. Maybe 12 sites with some long term renters - it appeared. All hook ups available up to 50amp. Not quite close enough to down town to walk (in winter). Philipsburg is an awesome small Montana town that’s worth a stop.

We arrived late and only stayed one night but this place is very well run and has everything we needed. Convenient and a nice place to stay. Long term or passing through it’s a good choice for the Missoula area.

Located on the north side of town, about 15 min drive to downtown Missoula. A bit overpriced, but do accept Good Sam membership for discount until next year. Wifi was horrible- didn't work well at all and took at least 5 mins to load a page and then sometimes would not even load after all of that time. They say they are in the process of updating their wifi- hope so! We hot spotted from our phone the entire time and had good enough AT&T cell service. 

There is a pool, gift shop in the office, as[halt roads and great walking park and has short little trails in the neighboring hay field. Easy access through the park. Our spot was a pull thru and super easy to get situated and set up. Level site, picnic table and close to neighbors. Quiet park. Laundry was horrible. 1 of the 4 washers available was working and it was hard to find a time where it was available since the park hosts so many guests. They should definitely invest in more washers or fix the ones that were out of order. They didn't have quarters in the office and the coin machine wasn't working. To avoid anymore hassle, I went downtown to Sparkle Laundry. I HIGHLY suggest over their laundry machines. It was$2.50 for a double load and drying prices ranged from$0.50+. Super friendly staff and have a little bar top and stools, along with snacks and drinks while you wait for your laundry. I suggest going there instead!

The Missoula KOA appears to be the only game in town.  I guess that is why they can charge a premium price and leave you with two choices, take it or leave it.  Only problem is we could not find another place so we "took it".

This is a big and busy campground.  Lots of good things about it.  For example, for a premium price, you can get a site with your own private dog run.  Two older but OKay hot tubs and a heated swimming pool.  Bicycle and other stuff rental.  Everything from tent sites, cabins, small full hook-up sites to large spacious premium sites.  Despite some of the bad reviews, the staff was very friendly to us and, because of no parking for our Tesla, they were able to move us to a better site.  WARNING:  You are not allowed to plug in any electric car.  We were warned that if we plugged in our Tesla, we would be fined and asked to leave the park immediately.  The Tesla supercharger was less than two miles away so no problem for us.  Wifi was great.  34 mbs.  AT&T was 2 bars 5G.

The BAD:  Very busy.  Many days in summer they are 100 per cent booked.  Make reservations early and be specific what you need.  Be ready to pay a premium price, even for tent camping.  Camp is old but well kept.  Bathrooms are clean but very old style and shower stalls are very small and not handicapped friendly.  Surrounded by lots of older double-wide's.  Some well kept and some not so well kept.  Not friendly to electric cars (see warning above).  Several times during our stay they paused their golf cart in front of our Tesla,  I assume making sure we did not plug in.

This RV park is very nice with spacious sites and very clean restrooms and grounds.

Great place to stay! Beautifully maintained RV Park. Good WiFi and close to great fishing

Jim&Mary's RV Park

Great RV park on Hwy 93. Some highway and train noise. Very convenient. I paid $50 for a back in.

Beautiful campground with shade trees and lots of flowerbeds. Wonderful bathhouse, clean, well maintained. Nice laundry room. Wah $2, dry .50 per 5 minutes. Adjoining lounge with TV and chairs. Free wi-fi and cable. No generators, no charcoal grills or wood fires. No tents. Pull thru and back in spots. Good amount of space between sites

 Nice green area behind sites. Really nice sports field, balls available. 

Very well maintained park! Plenty of space in each lot. Well shaded lots with plenty of grass and nice flower beds. Been from Atlanta to Seattle and this is the best maintained RV park we’ve been to this summer.

The campground is clean and well maintained.  Bathrooms and laundry room were clean and in good order.  They are a little picky about the grass and flowers, but it seems to work as the park was green and well maintained.  The only negative is the trains.  If you are a light sleeper you might have problems, although they did not bother me.  They don't want the dog to destroy the grass of flower in the RV park but there are large areas front and back to let your dog run.

This KOA is conveniently located for a quick overnight stop. We were passing through Montana and needed a full hookup site to rest and recharge before another long day of driving. The camp staff was very friendly and accommodating, even with our late arrival. It’s located a couple blocks off a busy road packed with shopping options which was a plus for someone passing through, but it might not be the best place for someone looking for an extended stay with scenery.

We lived in our 5th wheel at turah RV park for 2 years and my complaint is about the owner. She will charge double the kilowatt for usage and charge a 25$ meter fee every month. Our power bill for our 25' 5th wheel in the summer would average 200$ a month and 350$ in winter. That is really high for any RV. We eventually moved to a house and our bill here was 95$ for the month and we ran out A/C constantly. That's more like it. The owner is a back stabbing rip off artist. She made up that we owed her $200 for groceries when we were about to move. My wife works at a grocery store and that's where we got 90% of our groceries. Besides the RV store is full of food that is very expired. She will treat people horribly and start rumors about you. I beg everyone to not stay at turah RV.

It's only $10 to camp here with a tent. $25 for an electric site with an RV.

The bad: this is a city park in town. That means you'll have a little bit of light pollution if you want to see the stars (it's not too bad though) and you're next to the road.

The good: once evening approaches, it's pretty quiet through the night in the morning. This place feels like an intermediate between an RV park and a Forest service campground. The sites are spacious, though they are next to each other. But the day I was here, there weren't very many campers so it felt more spread out. You may also get some courageous deer walking through your campsite.

The facilities are pretty good for a city park. Bathrooms have running water and even a shower. They are spigots to fill up with drinking water. And there's a small playground which my kids think is underwhelming.

Be aware that the fire rings at some of the sites good stand some TLC, as could some of the picnic tables which are wooden and starting to splinter.

That said, at $10, it's hard to beat the price, especially since down the road there is a more primitive campground that cost $5 more.

Deer lodge has some great museums and Anne tours. The old prison and associated mushrooms are a must stop. Check out the ghost town! Indian Creek campground is right off I-90. Is safe, clean and well taken care of. Full hookups and super easy access with a town full of fun! Chinese food across the street was yummy too

Winter but nice level Sites. Nat forest still open till dec.

I love this adorable city park we arrived about 7 pm and the 4 electrical hook ups were taken and there were some day users and a few car campers. No facilities but, THERE is a rodeo park, not in use tonight. Also a horse shoe pu, little league field and a fishing stream where on of the car campers caught 2 fish (? Type). It is very quiet except for trains every few hours. I love it for the host who greated us and keeps the greens and flower boxes watered from a water container in his trunk. I have a navion motor home. There was a level grassy knoll but if it were crowded it could be trouble with parking and noise. But on July 7th 2021, lovely sunset.
