      Butte KOA Journey

      A No-Frills, Budget Stopover (Plus a Must-See Mining Tour!)

      Reviewed 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:

      • The Grounds: The roads and driveways are dirt and gravel, which can get muddy after a rain. There is virtually no grass throughout the sites, so expect some dust or dirt around your rig.
      • Facilities & Security: While there is nothing fancy about the park, it felt completely safe and quiet during our overnight stay.  Staff members were very welcoming and friendly.
      • The Value: The nightly rate was very reasonable, which makes up for the lack of upscale amenities. If you just need hookups, level ground, and a spot to catch some sleep without paying premium resort fees, the price matches what you get.

      Location & Highway Access

      • Easy In-and-Out: The standout practical benefit of this park is the convenience. It offers quick, hassle-free on-and-off access from the nearby interstate junction, which makes pulling in after a long driving day and departing the next morning straightforward.
      • The Town Setting: Butte definitely shows signs of an old mining town that has struggled economically since its historic copper mining heydays, but it makes up for that with raw character and rugged Western history.

      Must-See Local Stop: The Berkeley Pit Tour

      If you stay here, do not leave town without visiting the Berkeley Pit.

      • The Experience: It is an overwhelmingly massive open-pit copper mine that operated for decades and is now filled with heavily mineralized water. Known historically as part of"The Richest Hill on Earth," it offers a fascinating window into America’s industrial past.
      • The Logistics: The viewing stand and tour setup—conveniently run right by the local chamber of commerce/visitors center—is inexpensive and only requires about 30 minutes of your time.
      • Active Mining Nearby: While the Berkeley Pit is retired, active open-pit mining is still happening right next door (projected to continue through 2050!). If you have any interest in mining, geology, or gold and mineral prospecting, this quick detour is well worth your time.

      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)

      Deer Lodge A-OK Campground

      It’s AOK!

      We were looking for a quick pass through stop for the night, needed to charge up our battery system, but also needed a dog friendly place. When we first pulled in we almost left because it seemed like a tiny little parking lot camping area. The owner Mike came out and told us that there was a little more behind the front of the space. It opened up into a little field with a dog friendly place, with electric hookups along a little stream that had ducks swimming around. Mike just exudes good vibes, the bathrooms were super clean, and it was a really pleasant overnight stop.

      2 Bar Lazy H RV Campground

      Do not stay here

      We 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.

      Philipsburg Bay Campground

      Short walk to lake

      Good choice of first come first served spots in lodgepole pine forest. Tree cover not great for solar & starlink. Quite crowded in early August with various floating and boating activities. Sites spread out.

      Philipsburg Bay Campground

      First official campground

      More than likely we will be off grid at a non-developed pull off but with the lake so close we wanted to check it out. Neighbors are close and being here during the week and gone by weekend appears to be the only way to do it.

      Philipsburg Bay Campground

      In the pines

      Easy to get to, very popular. Paid campground $8 per night with senior and access passes, decent vault toilets, potable water, trash disposal, tall pines/shade, paved Loop A 1-24 first come first serve, Loop B has some first come first serve as well, Loop C no first come first serve. Cell service, plenty for zoom meetings. With shade, solar is challenging. No hook ups. Campfire rings and firewood for sale by the host. Need a water craft to get on lake for fishing.

      Nice wooded, scenic location

      This campground was easy to find. Looks clean. Picnic table is of the cement fashion. Nice fire pit. It's a very nice wooded campground.

    Guide to Wise River

    Wise River offers both traditional campgrounds and yurt camping options across diverse terrain ranging from 5,000-10,000 feet elevation. The Pioneer Mountain range features dramatic volcanic rock formations and alpine lakes where temperature swings of 30-40 degrees between day and night are common. Camping conditions vary significantly between the protected river valleys and exposed mountain sites.

    What to do

    Fishing access points: Numerous spots along the Wise River provide productive fishing zones. At Lodgepole Campground, campers report success with "the ambient sound of the river shielded the sounds of people talking or kids playing." The campground features a water pump with clean, cold drinking water.

    Hot springs exploration: Drive 15 miles from Wise River to Elkhorn Hot Springs near Grasshopper Valley. "Walking distance to the rustic Elkhorn Hot Springs Resort where you can swim and get a bite to eat," notes one visitor to Beaverhead National Forest Grasshopper Campground, adding that you can take "a short drive to crystal park where you can dig up quartz and amethyst."

    Georgetown Lake activities: The lake offers year-round recreation options 20 miles from Wise River. "Georgetown lake is a beautiful reservoir in the mountains," according to Cable Mountain reviews, though water conditions can vary seasonally with some noting "Georgetown lake smells like it is rotting" during certain periods.

    What campers like

    Natural soundscape: The rushing water creates natural white noise at many campsites. As one camper at Philipsburg Bay Campground noted, "You can hear waterfowl from the lake and nothing else but still have cell reception if you want it." This combination of natural isolation with connectivity appeals to many yurt camping enthusiasts near Wise River.

    Well-spaced sites: Many campgrounds offer good site separation. At Philipsburg Bay, campers appreciate that "sites are spread out enough and campground is wooded, so you aren't on top of your neighbors." The campground has "three separate loops make it kid and bike friendly."

    Yurt and luxury camping options: Beyond the glamping options mentioned in other sources, traditional yurt camping near Wise River provides rustic accommodation. At Fairmont RV Resort, "Hot Springs next door and able to get a pass from front desk to get access (still need to pay)," making it a good basecamp for exploring.

    What you should know

    Weather variability: Mountain elevation causes dramatic temperature swings. At Grasshopper Campground, one camper warns, "We got snow on Labor Day weekend (still Summer!), so check the forecast."

    Limited cell service: Coverage varies dramatically between campgrounds. Some campers report "3 bars of 4G Verizon" at certain sites while others have none, even within the same campground.

    Campfire restrictions: Rules vary by location and season. At Fairmont RV Resort, "wood fires are not allowed so no fire rings. My guess for the no fires rule is because you would be smoking out your neighbor."

    Site amenities: Each campground offers different facilities. "Frost free spigots were good especially since the weather at night was below freezing" at one campground, while others note "Sites include a picnic table and fire ring, and there was ample firewood left by others for us to use."

    Tips for camping with families

    Choose multi-loop campgrounds: Layouts with separate camping areas provide better experiences. At Spring Hill Campground, "it was clean and compact, but still afforded each site some separation from other sites" making it ideal for families seeking both community and privacy.

    Consider seasonal timing: Late season camping risks snow, even in summer. One camper noted, "Even with a full camp, the ambient sound of the river shielded the sounds of people talking or kids playing," making Lodgepole Campground a good choice for families seeking natural sound barriers.

    Water access points: Look for campgrounds with safe water play areas. Piney Campground features "a boat launch in the campground" and many report that "Lots of people out on the lake boating." However, note that "All boats, including inflatable kayaks need to be inspected at a Montana inspection station before launching."

    Tips from RVers

    Limited hookup availability: Most campgrounds have minimal or no hookups. At Piney Campground, RVers note "Nice campground with easy RV access to spaces" despite limited amenities.

    First-come sites: Some campgrounds have unreserved loops. Piney Campground users advise: "Know that there is a Loop B which doesn't show on Recreation.gov, that is all FCFS…. Many sites that seem to go unused!"

    Weather preparation: Bring stabilizers and leveling equipment. One RVer mentioned that at Fairmont RV Resort, "Nice level gravel site. Sites are close to each other," making setup easier, but "Was pouring rain when we visited but had full hookups."
