"Montana is absolutely gorgeous! I may be biased because I go to college in Montana, but there is so many great outdoor activities. The mountains and scenery are my favorite."
"Great place tucked away from the road. Sites are smaller. Place was clear even the showers. Hot water in the morning not so much at night."
"You can bring your horse or off road vehicles too."
"We stayed at 7th Ranch RV Park in Garryowen, Montana in September 2021. This wonderful park is situated just a small drive from the Custers Last Stand and The Battle Of Little Bighorn."
$10 - $15 / night
"When I say off the beaten path I should really be saying unpaved path. Make sure you have good shock absorbers on your vehicle, as it is miles and miles of dirt roads to get here."
"Cool spot to hang around for a couple days. The 3 hikes right off the campground are pretty cool with the Bowman lake trial being the easiest. Relatively busy campground while I was there."
"Location & West Glacier Access When visiting Glacier, proximity to the park gates is everything."
"It’s very close to the West entrance to Glacier National Park. We found fun things to do in nearby Hungry Horse, CowY, and Columbia Falls."
"Nice campground built to accommodate horse trailers. There are big day use parking/staging areas for trailers. The main campground was closed for winter."
"Traveling south in Montana and found this lovely little place. Trees, meadows and solitude. Just the way I like it"
$22 - $250 / night
"The hike to the waterfall is beautiful, and swimming and snorkeling in this lake are wonderful due to the clarity and purity."
"Stayed here on a photography trip through northwest Montana and it more than earned the stop. Big timber over the sites, real spacing between neighbors, and quiet after dark."
"Campground is in a great location close to Yellowstone entrance. It’s a big campground and as expected it can be a little cramped."
"This campground was an excellent place to get away from the crowds and relax after a day in the park."
$32 - $187 / night
"I noticed from walking around not all have a grill, so if that's important to you I'd specifically ask during reservations."
"We were supposed to stay at the KOA, but they had water damage issues and told us of this campground, right around the corner."
"On the map, it looks like you can enter/exit either way from 135… but the east side of the road to get back onto 135 is impossible… so we just had to turn around and exit the same way we came in (from"
"Arrived very late in the dark on Friday night coming back from Canada, and found an amazing site next to the river which drowned out all surrounding noise."
"Right next to the river and right off the interstate (kind of noisy from traffic) there were a couple trucks working the railroad but don’t bother us."
"There are train tracks nearby, which wasn't necessarily negative for us since we live next to train tracks at home ."
RangerWhat a beautiful campground! Site 13 was a roadside site rather than a back in, which made arrival easy. We really enjoyed the loop trail across the river, it was a great way to stretch our legs in spite of the heavy rain earlier that day. This place felt like a hidden gem.
GuideBathrooms are clean. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings. It's free. Couple different options sitewise for starlink the site by the horse's stable is wide open. Beautiful stars at night.
RangerThis was a GREAT site to camp at. I drove all the way down the roads to site 18 which has easy river access and a large rock firepit. It wasn’t as private as some of the other sites, but there weren’t any other campers in eye view. Cool rocks and birds. You could see a bridge with both cars and trains passing. Aside from one of the biggest spiders I’ve seen in my life (I’ve probably lived a privileged life in this regard) that I spotted on the beach, there were virtually no other creepy crawlers OR flies/bees/mosquitos to complain about. Bathrooms on site but no other amenities.
TravelerFree for 7 days, waterfront spaces with fishing, picnic table & fire ring. What more can you ask for?

If you are planning an epic trip to explore Glacier National Park, your choice of home base can make or break your trip logistics. We stayed four nights at Moose Creek RV Resort in West Glacier, Montana, and it served as the ultimate launchpad for exploring every corner of this iconic national park.
Location & West Glacier Access
When visiting Glacier, proximity to the park gates is everything. Moose Creek is super close and remarkably convenient to the West Glacier entrance, allowing you to beat the morning rush onto Going-to-the-Sun Road without spending hours in transit beforehand. (Still arrive early at park entrance!)
Campground Vibe, Grounds & Amenities
The park has that authentic, rustic Montana feel while providing all the modern comforts you need after long days on the trail:
Starlink Performance Under the Pines
For RVers who work remotely or rely on satellite internet like we do, camping under heavy pine canopies can often be a connectivity nightmare. However, even with dense pine trees surrounding our site, our Starlink dish locked onto signal and worked reliably throughout our entire four-night stay—a massive plus for staying connected in the Montana backcountry.
Glacier Park Routes & A Must-Do Tow-Vehicle Loop
During our four days, we were able to make the jaw-dropping drive across the Going-to-the-Sun Road twice round-trip, plus an additional one-way trek on our final day.
For your tow vehicle or passenger car, here is a scenic driving loop you should not miss:
The Hitched4fun Verdict
Moose Creek RV Resort is everything a national park gateway camp should be: clean, quiet, scenic, and packed with practical amenities that make traveling easy. Whether you are looking for reliable Starlink connectivity under the pines or quick access to the best drives in North America, this park delivers. We highly recommend it to anyone heading into Big Sky Country!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars— Highly Recommended by the Hitched4fun.com crew!
RangerI live in Bozeman and this is the first time staying at Taylor Fork. Incredible. I settled at spot 11 and the peace is tremendous. Of course I won’t give it 5 stars if there’s not a picnic table or bathrooms or other amenities but that’s fine, this is a definite treasure trove. Today we drove a couple miles up the road and got on a trailhead to a basin that might’ve been the best hike of my life. Beautiful. Solo. Perfect amount of difficulty. Views. This will certainly be one of my top 3 go-to spots for the future since I live in Bozeman and it’s so easy to get away.
GuideIt’s the perfect spot near the water stream and a beautiful view
