Several RV parks surround Radersburg, Montana, offering a range of amenities for motorhome travelers. Cardwell General Store and Campground provides year-round full hookup sites with 50-amp service, gravel pads, and big rig access. Bozeman Hot Springs Campground & RV Park, located within 30 miles of Radersburg, features pull-through sites with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. The 2 Bar Lazy H RV Campground in Butte accommodates large motorhomes with spacious sites and 50-amp electrical service. Sites at most parks include picnic tables and fire rings where permitted. "The pull through was easy enough to get into, but it's narrow with 9-inch high cement curbs, which makes getting your sewer up and over a bit of a challenge," noted one RV camper about Fort Harrison RV Park.
Reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months when RV campgrounds fill quickly. Most parks near Radersburg maintain gravel roads and pads, with some requiring leveling blocks as mentioned by travelers in reviews. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Verizon generally providing better coverage than other carriers. Helena Campground & RV Park offers sanitary dump stations for those not in full hookup sites, though one reviewer cautioned about large potholes at the entrance that aren't RV friendly. Pet policies are consistent across most parks, with designated pet areas available at several locations. Winter camping options are limited, with Cardwell General Store and Campground being one of the few year-round facilities. RV parks closer to Bozeman tend to have more amenities including on-site markets and laundry facilities.

In late out early short stay, train noise with long whistles several times during the night. Road noise too. Site was level easy to back into. No utilities late in the season
By the interstate, $10 to camp. Takes cash, check or there is a kiosk for cards. Definitely interstate noise and gun shots in the distance, but great for one night stay. You can back in right by the river. Our travel trailer was 27ft and we chose site #3, it was easy to back into to.
We 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.

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)
We 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.
We got here after dark and were very confused by the no trespassing signs and small pull offs. We didn’t go very high up on the road but camped right where the pin was set up. Gorgeous in the morning and very quiet peaceful place to stay for the night. Not necessarily “camping” with room to move around or set up but easy for one night.
Nice for overnight stop cose to I90 sites are tight trails and Butte visitor center next to campground
Stopped in overnight. Nice quiet spot on the lake. Toilets were very clean. Enjoyed the hike to the overlook. Hard to find what the off season prices were.
Nice spot! Convenient to Bozeman - 10 minutes away. Hookups, shower, pool, playground in a compact but reasonable layout. More sports for tents or self contained rigs (vans or pickup campers) then many places.
Closed in fall and winter - in2026 open until the end of September.

Fishing opportunities: Canyon Ferry Reservoir, accessible from Helena campgrounds, offers excellent fishing conditions. "The kids loved the playground and tons of open grass space and swings throughout, and they also have a pond that you can even fish in on site at the back of the property," noted a camper at Cardwell General Store and Campground.
Hot springs relaxation: After a day of outdoor activities, soak in thermal waters. "The hot springs access is what makes it worth the price. I soaked in the evening and early the next morning and both were relaxing. Live music was awesome for ambiance too," mentioned a visitor to Bozeman Hot Springs Campground & RV.
Mountain hiking: Access trails in the surrounding mountain ranges. "Great access to sacagewea peak hike and cold water," reported one camper about Fairy Lake Campground, highlighting its proximity to popular trails.
Free amenities: Several RV parks near Radersburg offer unexpected complimentary services. "Site rental includes passes to Hot Springs indoor and outdoor pools. Great stop and worth the price," noted a camper at Bozeman Hot Spring Campground & RV Park.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers rank high with visitors. "Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Owners were very welcoming and accommodating. The view was amazing," shared a guest at Conestoga Campground & RV Park.
Convenient locations: Proximity to attractions and services matters to campers. "The campground is located on the edge of a small town with all pull-thru sites and FHU's. Tv reception is good with all the major channels, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS. Verizon and AT&T are good," reported a visitor to Conestoga Campground.
Road conditions: Access to remote campgrounds can be challenging. "The 6-mile unmaintained road to get to the campground is definitely rough. The warnings are justified—it's bumpy, rocky, and slow going. That said, I made it up just fine in my rear-wheel-drive Ranger," explained a camper at Fairy Lake Campground.
Wildlife awareness: Bears and other wildlife frequent camping areas. "For sure there is 1 grizzly that's pretty big. He checked out our truck tent. Mountain Goats will come in your camp and they will do what goats do and want to check you out. They are not scared," warned a Fairy Lake Campground visitor.
Seasonal availability: Most campgrounds operate seasonally. "This campground is great for the quick overnight since it is right off the highway, so the activity is constant," noted a camper at 2 Bar Lazy H RV Campground about its convenient location open during peak season.
Playground access: Children need recreation spaces at camp. "The kids loved the playground and tons of open grass space and swings throughout," mentioned a camper at Cardwell General Store and Campground.
Swimming options: Water features provide entertainment for children. "We rolled in after the office closed at 7 - the camp ground looks like it has some wonderful amenities. Cute store and other fun stuff for the kids. We were in a back in site that had a huge yard area and super convenient walking path to the hot springs just feet away," shared a visitor to Bozeman Hot Springs Campground.
Safety considerations: Challenging terrain requires supervision. "We didn't realize how bad it would be but we made it up the first stretch where there was a landing, after the landing there is another stretch of dirt road to climb and I'm not sure what was beyond that point," cautioned a camper at Fairy Lake Campground regarding the difficult access road.
Site leveling requirements: Many RV sites need additional equipment. "The site's gravel pad was not level, so we had to use our leveler blocks," noted an RVer at Fort Harrison RV Park.
Dump station availability: Not all sites offer full hookups. "The only bad part was that I had to move my trailer to dump the black tank because my site didn't have sewer connections," mentioned a camper at Cardwell General Store and Campground.
Reservation timing: Plan ahead during peak seasons. "We have stayed here many times and enjoyed the area very much. If what you are looking for is exploring history and wildlife then this is the place," advised a repeat visitor to Conestoga Campground & RV Park, indicating the importance of securing spots early at popular RV parks near Radersburg.
