Old lady was sweet to us, I saw the reviews about her being not so sweet but she was nice and got us in last minute. The gentleman brought us a whole tractor full of wood and was nice as well. Trees were down like other reviews stated, they mentioned they had a massive storm. Not something I feel they should be judged for, they were concerned about my kids and asked them to keep away from the left side because of that.
Guide
Reserved this deamy site right on the water. Tent 1 is closest to parking but has the most traffic going by to the other sites.
Pit toilet nearby and a quick drive to flushable toilets. Showers available with tokens from the camphost ($3 for 6 minutes) but camphost weren't around when I was looking so no personal experience here.
Scout
Nice large tent sites. They also have a geodesic dome you can rent. Website was not set up yet.
GuideAbsolutely love this campground. They were so accommodating when we booked a site our unit wouldn’t fit on they gladly moved us.
If you aren’t right on the water, you’re definitely a short distance away.
The amenities are great and the camp hosts are always friendly. Definitely worth staying here.
GuideThis is a cute little camp site. We were right next to the river which was amazing. But some of the sites are for permanent residents, which feels weird. They have a laundry room, showers and bathrooms. Not the cleanest. But do the trick. A little road noisy. But loved the attention to the flowers and the grounds.
Scout
Two weeks at Cascade was incredible. Small creek runs next to campsites .

Our friend's family has a campout here every year on Labor Day. The sites are large, and loop B has the most sites on the water. There is a boat launch and a dock, perfect for fishing. The bathrooms are SUPER clean and heated when it's chilly out. $18 for a Montana resident and $26 for out of staters. No cell service!!
Traveler
This is a campground to which I will return. David, the owner/guy in charge, is funny and kind. Debbie, the office manager, knows her stuff, is super efficient, and a kind lady. The private showers are wonderful! There are four, each with a toilet, sink, vanity and huge shower. They’re kept clean. The laundry room has three commercial washers and three dryers. There is a large table to fold. Improvements continue to be made, which is great, but it’s a super place to camp regardless!
Guide
Great place to soak up in the hot springs. They have a huge variety of separate pools to choose from. $35 for tent spot and $14 per person to soak in their hot spring pools. Beautiful views all around.
Scout
Place very friendly clean showers bathroom are clean .

My family and I recently stayed at Rollings RV Park on Flathead Lake in Montana, and we loved it! Although it's all back-in sites for RVs and there's not a lot of room, we found that the park was beautiful and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. They have some tent sites and cabins available as well.
There's a restaurant on-site, but it has limited days and hours. The food was excellent, but it's like being in the UK, where you order everything yourself.
The park is clean, and the sites have a decent amount of space. You're close to Polson and Lakeside, where there are great beaches. The campground has its beach, but you have to drive to it.
One of the best things about the park is the great playground for kids. Our kids loved it!
The only thing we didn't love was the parking situation for guests or extra vehicles, but since it's a small place, we understand that it can be limited.
Overall, we will 100% stay at Rollings RV Park on Flathead Lake again and again. It's an awesome place, and we highly recommend it.
LegendI love Flathead Lake and this campground was wonderful. A lot of the sites are pretty tightly packed together and we lucked out by getting this RV site that was right on the lake and separate from the other campers.
We had a wall to sit on and look out at the water. Too cold for me to swim, but my brother jumped in. It was a perfect peaceful spot to hang out for 24 hours.
An eagle came and sat in a tree next to us for hours.
This is a place I will return to, for sure!
GuideFull hookup sites, big rig friendly, and great location. Office staff is friendly and helpful. Good nightly rate for the area.
GuideEveryone was so friendly and helpful. Got some great hiking tips from my neighbors. Campground was clean and tidy. Very hammock friendly!
ScoutHosts were very accommodating when we let them know we were coming in very late. Clean, quiet, comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful views. Almost no light pollution at night, I’ve never seen the Milky Way like this before! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
ScoutArrived late with no reservation and office closed but kind cheery owner, David found a spot for us, bending the rules a bit. Our stay was lovely, couldn’t ask for more, was mostly quiet since 41 is toward back, away from road. The bathrooms/showers were seriously palatial and very tidy/clean, way better than many hotels I’ve stayed at. Also liked the dog park at the front.
ScoutNice campground. Very clean well maintained. Spacing is great with trees in-between you. Full Hookups, picnic bench, recessed firepit.
TravelerThis place is amazing! We're staying on loop A and we are right on the water. No electricity but there's clean bathrooms, clean shower house that costs tokens, picnic tables, fire rings, fresh water spickets and access to buy ice and firewood from the camp hosts! So peaceful here. Will be coming back here for sure!!
TravelerQuiet, beautiful, perfect.
GuideClean. Bathrooms good. Wifi is better than most campgrounds. Cable TV. Full hookups. Friendly staff. All needed services are close.

We went on a 5 week roadtrip and used koas most of the time. They are easy to use, well priced, and normally very friendly
Scout
7 well spaced campsites all around the pond. Truly enjoyable stay. Clean toilet facilities. Be prepared for several miles of dusty, gravel, washboard road.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay so much that we ended up asking if they could extend their service past October 1st and they said YES! They will take care of you, they have everything you will need. The wifi is really really good, can even watch football on Sundays. If you are looking to stay in this are to visit or to stay awhile it is absolutely perfect and in a very central location.
TravelerThe campground was alright…don’t know if it would make top of our list. Staff was friendly. Site was inexpensive. Bathrooms were a 7 out of 10. I think the permanent and semi permanent residents put a damper on the feel of the park for us…Our site was right by a lot of them.
LegendGrinnell Cabin is set on the eastern edge of the campground and on the edge of a beautiful meadow.
The full moon rose over the meadow and the sunrise was magical the next morning.
The cabin could've slept four and was equipped with a mini fridge, fan, heater, and microwave.
LegendWe thought this State Park was a gem. Off the beaten path. Right on the lake. Boating. Fishing. Kayaking/paddleboard. Dark skies. Peaceful, except a little road noise. But hey, unless you want to backpack into the backcountry, most places will have some road noise. May I suggest ear plugs and/or a white noise machine. Problem solved. Also, very clean bathrooms and sites. Very nice hosts. Fairly generous sites. No AT&T for us and no wifi.. Extra boat parking available. Some hiking in the area.. We would go back in a heartbeat. About 55 min down Hwy 2 to the east is Kootenai Falls and historic swinging bridge. One of the prettiest places we've been. Worth the trip.
Ranger
Great spot for launching rafts. Also very good choice for relaxing and getting away for a few hours to a day. Worked summer work near here and me and a group of friends would always come kick back here 🤘🏻
