Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Thompson Falls, MT

373 Reviews

Thompson Falls State Park Campground welcomes dogs at all campsites with fire rings and picnic tables along the Clark Fork River. Several pet-friendly accommodation options exist throughout the area, including tent sites, RV spots with hookups, and cabins at Camp Squatch and Rimrock Lodge RV Park. All pet-friendly campgrounds require dogs to be leashed in common areas, with no breed restrictions reported at reviewed properties. Camp Squatch offers three cabin sites with electricity and water hookups in a quiet wooded setting, while Rimrock Lodge RV Park provides full hookup sites for RVs alongside cabin options. Campers report that most sites have generous spacing between them, providing privacy for those traveling with pets.

Copper King Campground, a free pet-friendly option 10 minutes from Thompson Falls, features five spacious tent and RV sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Dog owners appreciate the short trail access from Thompson Falls State Park campsites that leads to a small sandy beach where pets can swim and cool off in the Clark Fork River. The nearby mountain trails provide additional hiking opportunities for dogs and owners. When camping with pets, visitors should be aware of wildlife in the area and keep dogs leashed on trails. The campground doesn't have great river access from all sites, though there are designated swimming areas with sandy beaches. Local veterinary services are available in Thompson Falls, approximately 10 minutes from most campgrounds in the area.

    Bull River Pavilion

    Popular for a reason

    The camp area is pretty full even in the off season, because it is absolutely beautiful. Located not far from Thompson Falls, and lot of water ways. Fish are not as abundant as other areas, and there are no walking trails within walking distance.

    Copper King

    Great little spot to relax

    This is a free campground. There are five sites with generous spacing. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There is a privy and one bear box in the middle of the circle. This campground doesn't really accommodate large RVs, but it's great for tent camping. Although it sits along the river, it doesn't really have great river access. The campground is no more than 10 minutes from Thompson falls, so it's easy to get to town if you need to.

    Birdland Bay RV Resort

    Hidden Gem

    Just a short drive outside of Thompson Fall, is this hidden gem. Tucked in the pines, you will find generously spaced sites, beautifully maintained grounds and wonderful hosts. The entrance is off Blue Slide Rd. You have a quick access to the Clark Fork River for fishing and kayaking. Just a short stroll down the path is a beach on the lake. A 2 min. Drive puts you at River Bend Golf Course. It is one of the best public courses we have played in our travels. Views for days. Well maintained. Even if you don't play, sitting on the deck enjoying a beverage and a snack is worth checking out. In Thompson Falls a new brewery opened this year. They are working hard to make it a success. There were fires close to town when we were there, but watching the smoke jumpers, firefighters, national guard and helicopters work day in and day out, was amazing. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area. PS...like most CG in MT, there will be a train coming by, but we didn't mind at all. It wasn't too loud.

    Rimrock Lodge RV Park

    On a hill overlooking the river

    There is a Motel, Casino, Lounge. Dining, Bowling AND an RV Park here. Unfortunately, due worker shortage. most were closed. But, a small herd of deer welcomed us at the entrance. That was cool.. The RV park is up the hill to the left of everything else. Once in the RV section, you don't see the other part. There are several seasonal sites, but also travelors. It is not a fancy place, but a nice place. The bathhouse was super clean. The sites were easy in and out. Most sites do have a view of the mountains. Full hookups. Close to Thompson Falls. There is a new brewery in town. Definitely check it out. If you play golf, there is hidden gem not far away. River Bend Gold Course. We played. It is really a pretty, well maintained course. There's a dam, public boat launch, a nice park and playground and a good grocery store. Hot Springs are about 30 min. away.

    Wallace RV Park

    Quaint Park tucked Into The Downtown Area

    Great spot to stay especially if you’re visiting Wallace for a festival or stopover. Within walking distance to charming downtown. Very friendly staff. Some spots border a small river. Pet friendly. All gravel spots with cabins in other side of the river. No laundry but restaurant and bar on property.

    Trout Creek Campground (Mt) — Lolo National Forest

    Trout Creek up to Hidden Lake

    This hike into the lakes is not for the faint of heart, but the most breath taking views of Montana at its finest. There are plenty of Brook trout and huckleberries to eat at each trail and lake. There is also a lot of wild life, including mountain goats, moose, deer, and elk. Please make sure when bringing pets that they know not to chase these animals and always look at fire reports before heading into this area.

    Wallace RV Park

    Nice clean park, convenient location

    Clean park with beautiful creekside camping. Friendly employees and a convenient Brew Pub within walking distance. Grassy areas at sites and very pet friendly.

    Road next the RV Park is very busy! It does slow down after dark but be prepared for road noise during daylight hours.

    Nice visit

    Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and spacious restrooms and showers. Plenty of green space for pets. The only downside was the freeway noise.
