    Three Forks KOA Journey

    Very welcoming RV Park.

    We had a lovely overnight at this RV Park in Sept 2025. The park is very handy to all the area has to offer, and the country setting lets you relax and rest peacefully after a long day exploring. The staff were exceptionally welcoming. Our pull-through site was spacious, level, and equipped with reliable full hookups (30/50 amp), shady trees, fire pit, picnic table, and Wi-Fi. The amenities were top-notch: clean restrooms, a well-maintained laundry room, the best setup we have seen thus far for the cost.

    Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park — Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park

    Beautiful campground in a Montana State Park

    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.

    Missouri Headwaters State Park Campground

    Great one night stop spot!

    On our way to Montana we stopped here for a first come first serve spot for the night. They had one outhouse bathroom and although it says they have a water fill up station we couldn’t find one. Probably the most amount of mosquitoes I’ve ever seen at a campsite due to the marshy environment around the sites but, still beautiful. Make sure you have lots of bug spray or clothes that cover your arms and legs. Campsite includes a picnic table and fire pit. No bear boxes and no bears. The camp host was extremely nice and had firewood for sale.

    Vigilante Campground — Bannack State Park

    Camp near a ghost town

    Spire Rock Campground

    Great spot

    I showed up here late one night on my way to Big Sky and was lucky enough to get a spot. There are plenty of amenities such as toilets, fire pits, and tables. If you are looking to do some night photography there are some great spots just along the river, which the campground borders, that provide some breathtaking views. There can be a bit of noise in the morning with people heading up the road for off road fun but overall this is a great little spot tucked away just off the highway.

    Butte KOA

    Just keep driving!

    Seems KOAs are loosing their appeal. Pool was broken and dirty, chess pieces were missing, nothing else to do for the kiddos but a dilapidated playground. Half the park was off limits because it was under construction. Our site didn’t have a fire pit. Office smelled like smoke when you walked in.

    Delmoe Lake

    Great, easy, inexpensive National Forest campground

    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.

Temperatures fluctuate significantly between seasons, with summer highs averaging 75-85°F and winter lows frequently dropping below freezing. Camping areas often feature creek access and proximity to historic ghost towns.

What to do

Explore ghost towns: Bannack State Park allows campers to explore a well-preserved 1860s mining settlement. "You can go in to and check out just about every building in the town. The state park has a second campground, Road Agent, near this one," notes Dexter I. at Vigilante Campground.

Visit historical sites: Missouri Headwaters State Park offers camping where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin rivers form the Missouri River. "Experience Camping near where Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery camped at the headwaters of the Missouri river in 1805," explains a visitor to the park.

Go fishing: Multiple rivers provide fishing opportunities within short distances of campsites. At Delmoe Lake, Nick T. reports, "Camp sites are fairly spread out... Boat launch available for easy access and a large enough parking lot to park your trailer. There's slight phone service in some spots."

Try ATV trails: Areas around some campgrounds connect to extensive trail systems. "Great place to bring your ATV," notes Nicholas F. about Delmoe Lake, which serves as a base camp for motorized recreation on surrounding forest roads.

What campers like

Proximity to water: Many campsites feature direct access to creeks, rivers, or lakes. Jeff W. at Vigilante Campground shares, "Awesome little campground next to Grasshopper Creek. Each space has plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. Caught a few fish on the fly too."

Flat, spacious sites: Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park offers well-maintained camping areas with room to set up. "Large, flat campground with some large trees dotted throughout. Bathrooms were clean, showers were good," reports Amy R.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathroom facilities despite remote locations. At Three Forks KOA Journey, a visitor notes: "The bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot, not to mention they have a laundry room which is helpful."

Easy interstate access: Some campgrounds offer convenient stopover locations for travelers. Deanna C. mentions, "Camp Three Forks is conveniently located off I-90 on 287 as you head south to Yellowstone. It's a beautiful campground with nice grassy sites and nice views of the mountains."

What you should know

Bear country precautions: Several campgrounds require proper food storage and bear awareness. At Spire Rock Campground, a reviewer cautions, "The camp host really stressed being bear aware, as this is grizzly country and he said they definitely do come through the camp on occasion."

Weather variability: Mountain locations experience sudden weather changes, especially in spring and fall. A camper at Spire Rock Campground reports, "We stayed two nights at site 13 and it was great. Bunch of sites open because of the weather."

Mosquitoes near water: Camping near creeks often means dealing with insects. Jeff W. warns about Vigilante Campground: "Mosquitos were bad, no surprise there with the creek close by."

Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds may require careful driving. A camper at Spire Rock noted, "The dirt road was so pockmarked we had to turn around. Our campervan felt like it was going to tip over because of the ruts."

Tips for camping with families

Junior Ranger programs: Some state parks offer educational activities for children. "Did you know you can print out a packet for your little ones to become Cub Rangers at this State Park?" shares Sierra V. about Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park.

Playground access: Several campgrounds include play equipment. Michael B. notes about Lewis & Clark Caverns: "Also playground for the kids to play on. Had to use all our jack stands to combat the slope of our site (P007). Others looked much more level."

Safe exploring areas: Open campgrounds allow better supervision. Heather mentions at Lewis & Clark Caverns: "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."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some sites require extra equipment for proper RV setup. Michael B. warns about Lewis & Clark Caverns: "Had to use all our jack stands to combat the slope of our site (P007). Others looked much more level."

Tight turns: Larger rigs may encounter navigation difficulties. A visitor to Butte KOA notes, "We have a big rig and was towing a trailer so the turns were somewhat tight getting in and out. But other than that it was very nice and clean."

Hookup variations: RV sites offer different levels of service across campgrounds. At 2 Bar Lazy H RV Campground, Michelle J. explains, "$35 a day for electric, $36 for water, $37 for full hookups. Laundry and showers available, but I did not use. Manager is on site, and while it's not a looker, it's kept nice."

Highway noise consideration: RV parks near highways provide convenience but with some drawbacks. Susan W. notes about 2 Bar Lazy H: "This campground is great for the quick overnight since it is right off the highway, so the activity is constant."
