Choteau Mountain View RV Campground

18 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Choteau Mountain View RV Campground in Choteau, Montana, offers 18 RV sites, three cabins, and six tent sites along the Rocky Mountain Front, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 85 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup and water-and-electric categories deliver panoramic views of the range, including Ear Mountain's distinctive silhouette. Eighteen back-in sites run in 50/30-amp full-hookup and water-and-electric-only categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 85 feet. The 85-foot capacity handles a long coach with a tow comfortably. Three cabins and six tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. A game room, mini-golf, playground, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a lake and golf course nearby. The mountain views are the property's defining feature — this is the interface where Montana's high plains meet the alpine terrain of the Front, and the sightlines are exceptional. Choteau sits in Teton County within 90 miles of Glacier National Park's St. Mary entrance, which makes this a natural overnight on north-south routes through western Montana and a comfortable staging point for the Bob Marshall Wilderness corridor south. Local draws include the Montana Dinosaur Center, the Old Trail Museum, Freezeout Lake, and golf at the Choteau Country Club, with hiking trails and outfitters throughout. Summer is peak, with Glacier traffic driving demand from June through September. Reserve ahead for July and August.

Outback Montana RV Park and Campground

Outback Montana RV Park and Campground in Bigfork, Montana, provides a full-service camping base in one of the most spectacularly positioned communities in the American West, where the eastern shore of Flathead Lake—the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States—meets the Swan Mountain Range's forested ridgelines just 50 miles south of Glacier National Park's western entrance in a landscape of crystalline water, grizzly bear wilderness, and the small-resort-town character that makes Bigfork a beloved destination for Montana travelers seeking both outdoor recreation excellence and the local arts and cultural scene that distinguishes Bigfork from the purely utilitarian gateway communities surrounding Glacier. The park's facility serves the outdoor recreation visitor who needs reliable infrastructure alongside the natural surroundings that define Bigfork's appeal: full hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, dining, a playground, boutique shop, firewood, Wi-Fi, dump station, and the pet-friendly policy that Montana outdoor recreation visitors require for their hiking dogs provide the practical and experiential amenities for extended stays in Flathead Lake's eastern shore community. The planned activities programming connects guests with the area's seasonal recreation opportunities, and the national park proximity ensures that the campground serves as a de facto Glacier basecamp for visitors who find Bigfork's small-town character and Flathead Lake's recreational resources a compelling alternative to the crowded West Glacier gateway. Bigfork's position on Flathead Lake provides immediate access to the lake's cherry orchards—a microclimate created by the lake's thermal mass produces cherry-growing conditions unique in Montana, and the summer cherry harvest at the working orchards lining the east shore creates one of the most distinctive agricultural experiences available in a Montana lake community. The Swan River's outlet from Flathead Lake through Bigfork provides a short but productive stretch of whitewater and the Bigfork Summer Playhouse's professional theater season creates a performing arts experience of genuine quality that has operated continuously since 1960 in one of the American West's most established rural theater traditions. Glacier National Park's western entrances at West Glacier and Apgar provide access to the Going-to-the-Sun Road—the 50-mile scenic highway that traverses the Continental Divide through the park's most dramatic glacier-carved scenery in a drive consistently rated among the most spectacular in the world. The park's 700 miles of hiking trails access the glacial lakes, wildflower meadows, and the grizzly bear and mountain goat habitat of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem in a wilderness experience of the highest quality. Bob Marshall Wilderness, the largest undeveloped wilderness in the continental United States outside Alaska, lies immediately south of the park in a contiguous protected landscape of over one million acres. Outback Montana RV Park operates seasonally from spring through fall in the Flathead Valley's mountain climate, with the peak summer season from July through August driving maximum demand for both Flathead Lake recreation and Glacier National Park visitation when the Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open and the park's trail network is snow-free. The Logan Pass wildflower meadows peak in late July and early August, creating the most intensely competitive reservation period for Glacier-area accommodations, and guests targeting this window should book several months in advance as Bigfork's limited campground inventory fills quickly. Fall's October foliage and the quieting of summer crowds provides a compelling alternative season for guests who accept some trail closures in exchange for dramatically reduced competition.

Leaning Tree Cafe and Campground

4 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Leaning Tree Cafe and Campground in Babb, MT, offers 4 RV sites and 8 tent sites, with 20-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. Two things to plan around: there's no sewer at the site, and the service is 20-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and careful load management — run the air conditioner or the microwave, not both. The 60-foot maximum, though, means the sites themselves take a long rig. A cafe, general store, clubhouse, and bathhouse with showers are on the property, and pets are welcome. There's no recreation program, because the location makes one unnecessary. Babb sits on the northeastern boundary of Glacier National Park — a short drive from the Many Glacier entrance, the St. Mary Valley, and the eastern end of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Few campgrounds anywhere are positioned this well. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Four RV sites at Glacier's east side means summer books out months in advance.

Montana Basecamp

Montana Basecamp RV Resort in Kalispell, Montana, is a premium campground with large paved full-hookup RV sites and comprehensive resort amenities in Flathead County — the ideal launchpad for the full spectrum of Glacier Country outdoor adventure in the most spectacular mountain and lake landscape in the Rocky Mountain West, where Glacier National Park's 700 miles of trail, the Flathead Lake's 191-square-mile surface, and the Whitefish and Big Mountain ski terrain give the Kalispell basecamp its extraordinary day-trip range within 30 miles in every direction. Kalispell's Flathead County position on US-2 and US-93 in the Flathead Valley gives the resort the specific northwestern Montana gateway character of the region's largest city — the commercial hub of Glacier Country that connects the Going-to-the-Sun Road's park entrance at West Glacier to the Canadian border at Roosville in the most scenically dramatic Montana valley outside of Yellowstone. Large, paved full-hookup RV sites with the modern resort amenity infrastructure give Montana Basecamp the premium Kalispell campground experience that the Flathead Valley's outdoor recreation market and the Glacier National Park visitor market jointly sustain — the paved site surface and the large site dimensions give full-size coaches and fifth-wheels the maneuvering comfort that the more primitive park pads cannot offer, and the resort amenities give guests the comfortable home base for multi-day Glacier, Flathead Lake, and Bob Marshall Wilderness excursions that the Kalispell location enables. Pets are welcome. Glacier National Park, 35 miles east of Kalispell on US-2 at West Glacier in Flathead and Glacier Counties, is one of the most spectacular national parks in North America — a 1,013,572-acre park of glacially sculpted peaks, 762 lakes, and the 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road that crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass's 6,647-foot summit in the most celebrated mountain driving route in the United States. The park's remaining 26 active glaciers, the grizzly bear and mountain goat populations, and the wildflower-covered subalpine meadows of the Highline Trail give Glacier the specific Northern Rocky Mountain wilderness character that makes it one of the most bioscopically intact temperate ecosystems in the lower 48 states. Flathead Lake, 15 miles south of Kalispell on US-93 in Lake and Flathead Counties, is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River — a 191-square-mile glacially carved lake whose Flathead Lake cherry and apple orchards on the Mission Mountains' east shore, the Wildhorse Island's bighorn sheep and osprey nesting, and the lake's exceptional water clarity give Flathead the specific Montana mountain lake character of a freshwater body that sustains the wild Flathead Lake cherry agriculture, the Mission Mountain tribal wilderness, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes' reservation on the lake's eastern shore. Montana Basecamp serves guests through Flathead County's Montana camping season from late May through October, with the Glacier National Park summer season from mid-June through Labor Day requiring the park's vehicle reservation system for the Going-to-the-Sun Road and the Going-to-the-Sun Road's paving and plowing schedule determining the actual access dates for the high-altitude pass. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex — the combined Bob Marshall, Great Bear, and Scapegoat Wildernesses totaling 1.5 million acres south of Glacier — gives the Kalispell basecamp its most significant backcountry wilderness access for the horse packing and backpacking market. Reserve sites many months ahead for the peak Glacier National Park summer season.

Ekstroms Stage Station

26 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Ekstroms Stage Station in Clinton, MT, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabins, and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet.

Creek frontage runs the property, with volleyball, basketball, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding. Clinton sits where Rock Creek gathers itself before meeting the Clark Fork — a confluence every Montana fly fisherman knows by name — about 20 minutes east of Missoula. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rock Creek's salmonfly hatch in late spring is the busiest stretch of the year here, so reserve well ahead.

Boulder Creek Lodge

9 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites, 2 Tipis, 1 Wagon

Boulder Creek Lodge in Maxville, Montana, offers nine full-hookup pull-through RV sites, 10 cabins, two tent sites, and three tipi and wagon accommodations in the Flint Creek Valley, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. The range of lodging formats is the property's distinguishing feature. Nine pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet. Ten cabins, a Conestoga wagon, a tipi, and two tent sites round out the accommodations, which lets the lodge serve couples wanting a tipi stay and RV travelers needing hookups from the same property. A boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. A game room, community fire pit, playground, and walking trails fill the grounds, with a creek running the property and horseshoes and live music through the season. Pets are welcome. Maxville sits in Granite County between Missoula and Philipsburg, in southwest Montana's mountain country. The Flint Creek Valley is unusually rich in accessible adventure, and the local attractions reward exploring beyond the standard Montana national park circuit: Montana Gems and Gem Mountain for sapphire digging, the Sweet Palace candy store in Philipsburg, Garnet Ghost Town, and the Philipsburg Brewing Company are all close. The lodge serves the Montana season, with summer driving the heaviest demand across the mountain corridor and fall bringing quieter conditions and color in the valley. With nine RV sites and a small cabin count, reserve well ahead for July and August.

30 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Black Rabbit RV Park in Hamilton, MT, offers 30 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites and 5 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet.

Starry Night Lodging & RV - Ennis

65 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 3 Tent Sites

Starry Night Lodging and RV in Ennis, Montana, offers 65 RV sites, a cabin, and three tent sites just 300 feet from Highway 287, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and extra-large pull-through sites taking rigs up to 90 feet. Site categories include back-ins, back-ins with a view, motorhome-only pull-ins, and pull-throughs, on a big-rig-friendly property in the Madison Valley. Sixty-five sites span back-in, back-in with view, pull-in for motorhomes only, pull-through, and 20-amp water-and-electric pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 90 feet, with picnic tables. The extra-large pull-throughs handle the biggest rigs on the road. A cabin and three tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, RV storage, clubhouse, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. The season runs April 1 through October 31.

At 6,800 feet with no light pollution for dozens of miles and over 300 days of sunshine a year, the night sky here has genuine depth. Pets are welcome. Ennis sits in Madison County between the Madison and Gravelly Ranges, on one of the most storied fly fishing rivers in the American West. Yellowstone's west entrance is about 90 minutes southeast, and the preserved gold rush towns of Virginia City and Nevada City are 14 miles west. Fishing season and midsummer drive peak demand — reserve early for July and August.

Crystal Gold Mine RV Park

27 RV Sites

Crystal Gold Mine RV Park in Kellogg, ID, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 32 feet. Sites come in five categories — back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 30/50-amp, and van life parking — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Check the 32-foot maximum against your rig before booking; despite the big rig rating, this is a small-rig park. The park runs seven days a week May 1 through October 31, with summer hours 9am to 6pm and fall hours 10am to 4pm, and stays open through winter on reduced hours. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, and a dump station cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Gold panning is the signature activity — the park is attached to a historic mine — with picnicking on the grounds, a state park and water park nearby, and skiing in winter. Kellogg sits at 51931 Silver Valley Road with easy I-90 access, in the Coeur d'Alene mining district near Silver Mountain Resort and the Route of the Hiawatha rail-trail. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Confirm your rig length and the current season's hours before you go.

Old West RV Park

13 RV Sites

Old West RV Park in Reed Point, Montana, offers 13 full-hookup RV sites off Interstate 90 at mile marker 392, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric with picnic tables, on the Yellowstone River between Billings and Livingston. Thirteen sites carry full hookups on 20, 30, and 50-amp in both back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 75 feet, with picnic tables. The big-rig-friendly layout means long coaches can get in and out without a difficult approach after a day on the interstate. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the sites. Pets are welcome. The park is a stopover rather than a resort, and it is honest about that. What it offers is a clean full-hookup site with straightforward highway access in a genuinely rural Montana setting — a small agricultural community on the Yellowstone River rather than a strip of interstate frontage. On-site facilities stay deliberately simple: laundry, restrooms, hot showers, and site WiFi are what an overnight guest actually uses, and the pull-through sites mean you can stop for a night without unhitching. Hiking, biking, and birding run from the area. Reed Point sits in Stillwater County, 60 miles west of Billings and 50 miles east of Livingston, which makes it a natural midpoint on Montana's most traveled interstate corridor. The Yellowstone River carries excellent fishing, and the Absaroka Range forms the southern skyline. Yellowstone National Park is within reach via Livingston and Paradise Valley. The park serves the Montana travel season, with summer bringing the heaviest I-90 traffic and Yellowstone-bound visitors. With 13 sites, arriving late in the day during July and August is a gamble — reserve ahead.

Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort

39 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 18 Tent Sites, 5 Hotel Rooms

Yellowstone Hot Springs Resort in Gardiner, Montana, offers 39 RV sites, nine cabin and hotel-room units, and 18 tent sites eight miles north of Yellowstone's North Entrance, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet behind a gated entrance.

The electric-only option suits self-contained rigs at a lower rate. Nine cabins and hotel rooms and 18 tent sites round out the accommodations. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. The hot springs define the property.

An outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and pavilion round out the amenities, with hiking, biking, birding, and picnicking from the area and skiing and a golf course nearby. Pets are welcome. Gardiner sits at the south end of Paradise Valley where the Yellowstone River emerges from the mountains with the Absaroka Range rising on both flanks — one of the most strategically positioned properties in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, eight miles from the park's only year-round entrance. Summer is decisively the season, with the springs drawing guests year-round. Reserve well ahead for June through September.
