Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ulm, MT

Several RV campgrounds serve the Ulm area with varying levels of amenities. Great Falls RV Park offers big-rig friendly electric, sewer, and water hookups on level sites, though fires are not permitted on the premises. Prewett Creek RV Park provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Brady RV Park accommodates both 30 and 50-amp connections for smaller rigs. Great Falls KOA remains open year-round with pull-through sites featuring concrete pads bordered by railroad ties, offering separation between camping spots. "The camper pads are gravel, not paved, and there are quite a few trees that provide decent separation/privacy between the sites."

For travel planning, many RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months when baseball tournaments and other events can fill available spaces. Military Park Malmstrom AFB Gateway FamCamp restricts access to those with military connections, providing concrete pads that are "mostly level...nothing is absolutely level." Cell service varies significantly throughout the area—Prewett Creek reports limited connectivity with just 1-2 bars on major carriers, while campgrounds closer to Great Falls typically offer better coverage. Dump stations are available at several locations, including the entrance to White Sandy Recreation Site when not closed for winter. Most RV parks around Ulm welcome pets, though some enforce restrictions regarding where animals can be walked.

    Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground

    Ranger review of Wenzel's Windy Pass Mummy 0° Sleeping bag and Holter Dam C

    Holter Dam Campground Review

    Holter Dam Campground at Holter Dam Recreation site is a BLM 15 site campground located just below Holter Dam. All 15 sites at the campground feature covered picnic tables with a fire ring. All the sites sit along the edge of a very large parking area. 13 of the sites have plenty of room for tents on a nice flat grassy area. Two sites are close together and have limited room for tents. The campground has a double vault toilet with numerous water faucets, and dumpsters. A second vault toilet can be found at the boat ramp area just a short distance from the campground. An ADA campsite sits right in front of the vault toilets. The concrete pad for the ADA site extends to and surrounds the fire ring allowing wheelchairs to get as close to the fire as they want. Campsites run $10 an night (½ price for senior and access pass holders). Keep an eye out on the surrounding hills around the campground for Big Horn Sheep. While staying at the campground we saw 5 sheep on the hill next to the campground entrance.

    Ranger review of the Wenzel Windy Pass Mummy 0° Sleeping bag

    I was quiet pleased with the Windy Pass 0° Mummy sleeping bag. The bag is roomy, giving you room to turn around in the bags with out needing to have to bag turn with you. On the bags stuff sack it says it is a cold weather bag 0-20 degrees. I slept warm all night with the temps dropping into the low 30's with it raining all night (snow was on the ground on the hills above us). I was quiet pleased with the amount of padding the bag provided during the night as my sleeping pad failed to hold air, but I was still able to sleep comfortably on the hard ground. I got up several times during the night and each time I was able to warm back up in just a few minutes after getting back in to the bag. It will be interesting to test it out next winter in colder weather to see if it meets its temperature claims. I weighted the bag, and at 4 pounds 10 ounces, you might not be taking this one out on a backpacking trip, but for the front country camping you can't go wrong with this warm bag, specially for the price of $45.

    Choteau Mountain View RV Campground

    Great price for amenities!

    We found this campsite on our way to Glacier National Park when we needed a tent site for the evening. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Only $22 for a site without electric hookups or $24 for one that does. The campground is very clean and offers showers, restrooms, laundry, dishwashing station, picnic table, cooking grill, fire pits, and WiFi included.

    Great Falls KOA

    Nicely appointed KOA

    General: Just about every option you could ask for (except for tents): 50-amp FHU pull-thru, 30/20-amp with w/e(back-in and pull-thru), FHU with patio, glamping tent, one and two-room cabins and cottages. 

    Site Quality: Different from many KOAs we have stayed in is that the camper pads are gravel, not paved, and there are quite a few trees that provide decent separation/privacy between the sites. The sites are bordered by railroad ties, and some are a tighter fit than others. A few of the sites at the end of the row before the glamping site appeared a little overgrown. As is usual for a KOA, our site was assigned upon check-in. The first site we were assigned didn’t work out for us since our electric cord could not reach the pedestal. Be aware that electric connections are shared between two sites so if you do not have an extension cord, you may have a problem (or need to be reassigned which was easily done for us). 

    Bath/Shower House: Accessed by code. All-in-one units with soap and paper towels. They were clean. 

    Activities/Amenities: Many and varied including a water playground (guests can join you here by paying a fee), petting zoo, train, dog park, yard games, bike rentals, propane fill, dump station, laundry, ice, ice cream, and free pancakes. There was even live entertainment! 

    We don’t typically stay in KOAs or RV parks (mainly because of cost and lack of privacy between sites) but they are good for us when we need showers, laundry, and a dump station. Although still more than we like to spend for camping, this one was a pleasant surprise with the number of trees on the property. The staff was exceedingly friendly!

    Black Sandy State Park Campground

    Black Sandy State Park

    I rolled into this place because White Sandy BLM was closed on Nov 1. This CG looks to stay open year round because it has a boat launch. The water was turned off and the main bathhouse was closed for the season. Two pit toilets remain open. The electric service was still on for the sites. The tent only sites were not suitable for van camping and require a walk to the tent site. I used the RV site and about half of them a siamese type sites with gravel pads. I was the only one here so this didn’t matter. Cell service on Verizon is one bar 3G so I set up my starlink.

    Choteau City Park

    What a great spot

    I was presently surprised by this spot! It is pretty much in town, on the outskirts. There is a dump station and a spot to get drinking water. There’s shady spots and pull through ones. There’s a huge spot that would be able to accommodate the largest motorhome with a trailer, it’s huge! You can pay online, there is a $1 fee. The creek runs through and it’s so calm and pretty. The park is attached so it’s fun for the kiddos. Worth a visit!

    Great Falls KOA

    Good for families with kids

    We don’t have kids and so our pull through site missed on what is important to me ( at this expensive price point): nice manicured paved site with shade. The park does have a decent sized area to walk your dog and has a small off leash dog park. Fire pits are a plus. Pool has to be any kids dream with slides and a lot of toys. They also have a petting zoo. The park did its job for our overnight stay but I was happy to leave. Oh, pull through sites are good sized and hookups were quality.

    Thain Creek

    Thaine creek campgound

    This is a nice back in the woods campground with spots right on the creek. Our spot was 4 nice table on the creek with lots of sound. A lot if shade. Semi secluded from other campsites. The fire pits are really high so standing up is required for heat. Need chainsaw to gather wood. Lots of birds in the area. Lewis and Clark national forest. Highwood mountains. Lots of potholes drive with care.

Visit historic Fort Benton: Located just a short walk from camping areas in the region. "Set on the edge of Historic Fort Benton, this is a great place to land for a night or a week or more. Lots to see, explore and experience in the area... 5 minute walk to downtown," reports Mimi.

Try mini-golf: Some campgrounds offer on-site recreation. Choteau Mountain View RV Campground features "a small mini-golf area" according to Norma S., who appreciated this family-friendly activity during hot weather.

Walk nature trails: Several campgrounds maintain walking paths. At Gateway FamCamp, "There is a great walking trail just on the edge of the camp," according to Vanessa S.

"The cliff on the other side of the river was a gorgeous view when the sun was setting," writes Carter W. about Chouteau County Fairgrounds Campground, while Mimi enjoys "Sitting here enjoying the setting sun on the bluffs along the Missouri."

Quiet atmosphere: Several campgrounds provide tranquil settings despite their proximity to towns. "We were the only nomads all the other campers were local seasonal fishing guides so it was very quiet," reports Bille W. about their stay at 7R Guest Ranch Motel & RV Park.

What you should know

Seasonal conditions impact stays: Weather patterns affect camping experiences year-round. Robert R. notes about Benton RV Park, "We were here in mid July and it was 94° with about a 35 mph wind howling across the Prairie. Quite a shock considering we had just come down from the mountains!"

Mosquitoes can be problematic: Insect activity varies by location and season. Jean L. warns campers at Chouteau County Fairgrounds to "Bring bug spray" while Amy H. reports, "We couldn't even sit outside at night because of the mosquitoes."

Site sizes differ significantly: RV length limitations should factor into planning. Dave S. notes about Great Falls RV Park, "The sites are small and the campground is busy," while MickandKarla W. found their site at Prewett Creek RV Park "was nice and long, with room to park across."
