Big Sky Camp and RV Park, Miles City MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  Good – 8

A perfect park for an overnight stay. Nothing fancy, just a friendly owner, low price, long pull thru sites, and 30A power and water. Surprisingly strong WiFi, cable TV, and good Verizon cell/data. Right off the interstate, easy in/out. Not a destination park, but we weren't looking for one. We'll stay here again.  Only $22/night. Big Sky Camp and RV Park

 

 

Area Tips:  Miles City has an interesting, historic downtown and good restaurants.  The Montana Rib & Chop House is new and has very good food at reasonable prices.

Malmstrom AFB Famcamp, Great Falls MT

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.

Choteau Campground, Choteau MT

Our Rating:  GOOD – 6

The new owners are wonderful and working hard to improve the park. Obviously an old KOA, the layout and infrastructure are dated, with 30A only. Most sites have no shade, and there is little grass. Our site was a fairly level pull-thru, and with few RVs in the park, there was ample room. The park WiFi worked well, but there is no cable or OTA TV. Verizon cell/data signal was strong. A park with enormous potential but with some ways to go. Somewhat overpriced in it's current condition, but it's the only park in the area.  $33/Night.  Choteau Campground

Edgewater RV Resort and Motel, Lakeside MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

We stayed here based on internet reviews and were not disappointed. Fast, friendly check-in (make sure you pet the cat), large, level concrete pads, and spacious, all-concrete sites. Although along the highway, there was no significant noise and the park was quiet and dark at night. OK cable, no obstructions to the satellites, but little OTA TV. The park WiFi worked well during our one-week stay regardless of the time of day. Verizon cell/data were also very good. The hosts are veteran professionals who excel at making this a great stay, and we'll be back. Reasonable at Passport America’s rate of $30/night.  Edgewater RV Resort and Motel

Area Tips:  Located right on the shore of Flathead Lake and a little over an hour to Glacier National Park.  Good shopping and dining just North of Kalispell.

Sula Country Store and RV Park, Sula MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 7

Calling this a "resort" may be a bit of a stretch, but it's a great little park under tall pines and next to a stream. Only a few sites, and only one with 50A, but they're fairly level gravel pull-thrus with adequate spacing. No cable or WiFi, but surprisingly a few OTA stations. Lots of trees, but a few holes for a tripod satellite mount. Verizon cell/data worked well. Some truck noise from the highway, but fairly quiet at night. The store has basic items but the restaurant wasn't open this early in the year.  A great value at $25/night.  Sula Country Store and RV Park

Countryside RV Park, Dillon, MT

Stay Date:  June 2016

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

I wish RV park owners all over the country would visit this park to see how a park should be designed. Long, level gravel pull-thrus are staggered so that the nose of your neighbors rig is aligned with the back of yours. Lots of grass, good hookups, and quiet and dark at night. Good Verizon cell/data, and solid park WiFi. No cable or OTA TV here, but the office has a library of DVDs and there are no obstructions to the satellites. Easy access to the interstate but far enough that there's no road noise. Nice views of the mountains and close to Dillon for shopping and dining. Well worth the $35/night.  Countryside RV Park

Area Tips:  Dillon doesn’t offer much in the way of dining, but Sparky’s Garage was very good.  Don’t miss a visit to Bannack State Park, the best-preserved ghost town you’ll ever see.

Ennis RV Village, Ennis, MT

Our Rating:  GOOD – 9

A great park in the beautiful Madison Valley.  Interior roads and sites are hard-packed gravel and level, with better than average space between.  Nicely maintained green grass and a small tree at each site.  Friendly office staff and hands-on owner who will go out of his way to be helpful.  Easy to find and access from the main highway.  Quiet and dark at night. No cable TV or OTA here, but no obstructions to the satellites.  WiFi was unusable during our stay, but Verizon cell/data were strong.  Located just outside of Ennis, a neat little town with adequate shopping and dining, and an hour from West Yellowstone.  A big trout fishing area, so make reservations in the summer.  Reasonable at $36/night.  Ennis RV Village
