Stay Date: June 2016
Our Rating: GOOD – 6
Compared to other Famcamps, we rate this location below average largely for the inane policy of not taking reservations or having a phone contact. 
Getting there requires a six plus mile drive off the interstate through the heart of the business area, and if they're full your option may be the on-base annex, except you can't get through the main gate with a large RV. I feel sorry for the hosts, who were very professional, when they have to turn people away. 
The park itself is average; paved interior roads with unusually sloped concrete pads that are difficult to level on without raising the front wheels off of the ground. Hookups were good, no cable, little OTA, but no obstructions to satellite TV. The park WiFi was unusable, but Verizon cell/data were strong. An unusual rule was that tow vehicles could not be hooked up on the pads, which was inconvenient and made no sense. Opposite facing sites resulted in better than average space, but overall a mediocre location. $24/Night Gateway Famcamp
Area Tips: The commissary is just OK and the BX is, well, the BX. Nothing special on base, and the town of Great Falls, unlike other towns in Montana, is drab and unremarkable. The usual shopping at a strip mall along the interstate, with the usual chain restaurants. Everything requires a six-seven mile drive from the base.
