TravelerWe camped one night in a tent in site #12. Luckily it was a cool evening because the scent of the vault toilet wafted over our site off and on. Can't imagine being here on a hot humid day in the summer. I'm sure this campground is fine for overnight if you are self contained in an RV. Good if you don't want to be too far off the Interstate but also don't want the traffic noise.
RangerReviewed by: The Crew at Hitched4fun.com
If you are looking for an overnight stop while rolling through southwestern Montana on Interstate 15 or Interstate 90, the Butte KOA Journey serves its purpose as a functional travel hub. It is far from a luxury resort destination, but if you need a safe, inexpensive, and easily accessible place to park your rig for the night, it gets the job done.
Campground Grounds & Amenities
It is best to set expectations before pulling in—this is a very basic, older KOA:
Location & Highway Access
Must-See Local Stop: The Berkeley Pit Tour
If you stay here, do not leave town without visiting the Berkeley Pit.
The Hitched4fun Verdict
The Butte KOA Journey won't win awards for landscaping, but its budget-friendly rate, safe atmosphere, and prime interstate convenience make it a viable 3-star overnight rest stop. Pair it with a half-hour visit to the Berkeley Pit to get an authentic taste of Montana's copper history before hitting the highway again.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3 out of 5 Stars)
GuideWe are here in October and we are getting snow I love it. Only 3 other campers here. .the dogs just run. Getting about 6 inches of snow. Going to hike some trails tomorrow. We have AT&T and there is cell service but we also have Starlink. No water this time of year and there is only 1 pit toilet...across the campground. It would not be a place I would stay in summer....no trees I'm not a fan of seeing all the campers. Looks like pretty decent gravel sites. We do have electric. The rangers are very nice.
ScoutNice for overnight stop cose to I90 sites are tight trails and Butte visitor center next to campground
LegendThis clean and neat KOA is just outside of Helena. We were arriving late so I spoke with a super friendly man in the office about after hours check-in (which was very smooth). Super clean and modern bathrooms. Quiet campground. Would stay again if passing through
ScoutWe booked 5 hours before we arrived and were told that hotsprings were open until sun set; 7:56 pm, however just after 6 pm staff started to boot people out anf they were closed before 7pm. When it was brought up to Anthony who claimed to be the manager on 5 Sept he could care less, partly due to the fact he was late opening and "no one was going to hold him accountable"! He further stated that he did not care that military members booked because after driving all day we needed to soak. Stating it was his "call" and none of us would get any funds returnd.
TravelerI thoroughly enjoyed this stay. The spot was level and well maintained, laundry facilities clean, check in personnel very nice and helpful. The best part was the Hot Springs next door. I went both nights and the second night there was live music which was wonderful. They provide towels, showers and have shampoo and conditioner available at the springs. And the outside lighting was very relaxing. I will definitely be back.
GuideWe camped here as a last resort driving through on 90. There were thunderstorms and we didn’t want to risk muddy conditions of dispersed camping at 11pm. We drove up, and everything was closed. There were payment envelopes, but no fees posted. We took an envelope, but left in the car, intending to pay in the morning. There was a large sign posted on the hut next to the office stating “Don’t bother me until after 10:00am.” The campground is a gravel lot next to the freeway, with high weeds and broken down cars/RV around the perimeter. There is one shower/bathroom house, with a key code. One dumpster. One spigot for water. The spaces have full hookups, but are so close together it looks like a derelict parking lot with a view of the freeway. We slept there, and the next morning at 8:30, the owner drove up in his 4 wheeler, yelling and cursing at us. Our leashed dogs barked at him, as he was verbally attacking us, and he threatened to hit them with his 4 wheeler. Apparently, someone had dropped $10 for payment in an envelope last night and he thought it was us. He continued screaming in my husband’s face along with our three and eight year old sons next to him, stating how little money $10 would buy. I came out and told him that wasn’t our payment, our envelope is in the car, and we couldn’t pay last night as there were no prices listed. The then told us to settle up as we leave, still didn’t give us the code to the bathroom, and then said he was going to have to find the “f$$cking sonan1tch” who gave him only $10. And drove away. No apologies, no nothing. This place is a sh1t hole with a mean tempered owner who nearly gets into violent altercations as a first course of action. Oh, and a site with electricity is $60.
GuideWide open sky surrounded by mountains at this campground. Great for star gazing.
Missouri Headwaters State Park sits where three rivers converge to form the Missouri River, at an elevation of approximately 4,045 feet near Radersburg, Montana. The campground has 17 sites spread across open terrain with limited tree cover, creating varied conditions for yurt camping and cabin stays. Summer temperatures reach the mid-80s during day and can drop to the 40s at night.
Historic exploration: Visit Missouri Headwaters State Park Campground to explore Lewis and Clark's route. The park marks where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers converge to form the Missouri River. A camper noted, "Historical signs about the Corps of Discovery stay at the headwaters of the Missouri and their journey are located throughout the park."
Scenic trails: Hike short paths along the riverbanks for views of the headwaters. Many trails connect directly from camping areas. "Many short hiking trails are in the park, be sure to take the short hike up to a vista to get the entire view of the headwaters area," shares one visitor.
Fishing: Cast your line in four different rivers within the park boundaries. "If you like to fish you are in luck, you have four rivers to choose from, all with great fishing opportunities," reports a regular visitor to Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park.
Site privacy: Select from well-spaced campsites for more secluded experiences. At Missouri Headwaters, "We stayed at Site 16, which is at the far end of the campground and felt nicely tucked away," reports one camper. The distance between sites offers a quieter setting.
Tipi camping: Experience authentic shelter options at Missouri Headwaters. "A neat feature as well is they have one teepee that my husband and I stayed in for the night," shares a visitor. This alternative to yurt camping near Radersburg provides a similar cultural experience.
Lake views: Enjoy waterfront camping at Silos Campground. "We booked a pavilion spot with 50A service. Other pavilions have 20A or 30A. Non-group sites are dry camping only. There is a water spigot nearby for filling tanks," reports a visitor to this Canyon Ferry Lake location.
Weather conditions: Prepare for significant winds near Canyon Ferry Lake. At Duck Creek Primitive Campground, "We picked the shore in order to get away from the bugs. The cottonwoods and willows held plenty of little vampires looking for blood... So the beach it was, it was amazing that you could walk out on the beach and not have any bugs, what a slight breeze will do."
Train noise: Be aware of rail activity near some campsites. At Upper Toston Dam Campground, "A noisy and busy train track for freight trains run on the other side of the river. It feels and sounds like freight trains will run right through your tent at all times of the day."
Primitive facilities: Many sites lack modern amenities. "This is primitive camping, all you are going to find here is a flat grassy area to camp with rock fire rings. No facilities, no water, no trash, no outhouse so come prepared," reports a camper about Duck Creek Primitive Campground.
