This is a small park with some train noise at night. Sites are a bit unlevel. The wireless Internet signal was strong, 160kb/20kb just on my computer. Cass, who checked us in, was extremely helpful and friendly. It's a good place to stop for a night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
New owners August 2005. Nice and helpful folks! Typical small KOA. Tent sites look okay to us, though we didn't use them. Sites for RVs are mostly gravel. Big rig access depends on the driver! LOL We didn't have any problem getting our 35' fiver pulled by one-ton doolie in. If you have a satellite dish, ask for a site with clearance through trees. Call ahead especially for large rigs. Sites available on the waterway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Entry to this campground is through an alley in town. The trailer section of the campground
doesn't look bad, but the location for tent trailers is terrible. There are many old, old seasonal trailers there -- looked like a worn-out trailer town.
Walked in and found 3 kids (15 years old) manning office -- no adults. The kids were upset because the "BIG MAN" was coming. Office was not run
professionally. They showed us our campsite -- next to "mosquito-ridden" river/creek. No picnic table and very close quarters. Ended up asking for money
back and went to motel. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Rate is based on weekly rate. We stayed for one week exploring the town and area which has many interesting attractions. Easy access, and well signed with asphalt roads and pads, though they do request you use blocks under your jacks. Have both 30 and 50 amp sites. No trees but satellite and cell phone reception is excellent. I-90 is near the park, as well as a small truck stop, but we didn't find it bothersome. Restrooms and showers nice and clean. Appreciated the discount for fuel that you get when checking in. We would definitely stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were clean and mostly level with rock pads. New electric, water and sewer pedestals had been installed. Grounds were well mowed, landscaped and nicely maintained. There were nice areas for walking pets. It is close to I-90 but we did not notice much road noise. The campground is on the same frontage road with a decent restaurant and gas station. Discount coupons were given for both places once registered at the campground. Office staff was helpful in providing directions and provided area literature. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here one night with Coast to Coast. Easy access to and from the interstate but with some noise from the traffic. In a motorhome, there was no problem. A nice campground with level and large sites. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When we got in, all of the 50 amp sites were full, so the price is for a 30 amp, no cable, with discount. It is a pretty little park by I-90 and after our recent experiences, we just loved it. Not a destination in itself, but plenty to do in Deer Lodge. The people are friendly and the noise is minimal, even though we parked closest to the highway. Note that most of the trees are young and do not provide a lot of shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great friendly park. Very level spots and plenty of room. Mom and pop operation and managers are very friendly. Easy access just off I-90 and good 4B restaurant at the park turn off. Park will give you a 10% off meal coupon for 4B and a discount card for fuel at their fuel station. Be sure to take the prison tour and don't miss the best car exhibit covering vehicles from the early 1900 through muscle car era. Cable TV is an extra $2 but has many good channels. Good location to visit surrounding mining towns also. We had intended to stay at the local KOA but when we went there a sign on the door said no one would be around until later in the evening but we ended up liking the Indian Creek facility so much we would return there without any hesitation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Price reflects 30amp, full hook-ups with cable TV. Very nice place for an overnight stay. Close to I-90 exit. Lots of signs to direct you to the campground. Sites are all level, and there is plenty of room to maneuver. Propane is available on site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was a good over night campground - easy access right off I-90, so you have a little traffic noise. We didn't have a picnic table and there are no fire rings. Sites were wide enough to have our awning down, and the mountain view was very pretty. The prison and (very good) auto museum along with an 1858 town replica, old toy museum and an old west museum/saloon we couldn't believe the number of old whiskey bottles in perfect condition from all over the country. All the museums are for one price and well worth it - they were fun. The laundry and rest rooms were clean and we used them. We camped here in a Motorhome.
All pull throughs. Wide and grassy spaces. WiFi there but slow. Overall, a nice place to stay. Easy off and on highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We are here this morning as I write this. I had three hours sleep last night. The park is located adjacent to the freeway, a large truck stop with overnighters, and is in the "industrial" section of town. There were big rigs in the truck stop idling all night and the freeway noise was the background. To top this off, the Damon next to us has a heat pump that acted as the precussion section. Sort of like a bass drum beating irregularly at about 100 beats/minute. Throw in an occasional train and that's pretty much the cause of my bleary red eyes. We were going to spend two nights here, but we'll be down the road today. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This simple, clean park is right off I-90 yet the highway noise did not filter down to the park. The roads and pads are gravel with a nice grass area between sites. It is a short drive to Deer Lodge and to the Grant-Kohrs Ranch national historic site. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and clean park. We used it as an overnight stop. Very friendly staff. There is a truck stop in front of the park and is far enough away so as not to make it noisy and a good place to fuel up. When registering we were given a 10% off coupon for the restaurant that is also in front of the park. Campers were spaced out so that you were not right next to someone else for the night. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is what it is.... a convenient overnight stop with pull through sites that are long enough, full hook ups, and cable TV. Not at all fancy, but certainly adequate for a stop-over--- that's all we would use it for, and we would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An okay park for a "base camp". No frills. Gravel sites and roads. Part of the Fickler Oil Company; not very scenic area. Very friendly lady working the office. Large sites; easy to move around. Wifi and cable worked well inspite of bad weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a basic RV park behind a truck stop, but it was quiet. It's a fine place to stay to visit the interesting town of Deer Lodge, definitely worth a stop. The sites are generally level, pull thrus, and there is good spacing between sites. Verizon cell worked well. I definitely would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great location for an overnight stop. Cable has lots of channels. Wifi works good. Sites are big enough. Nothing fancy but we'd stop again if we're by this way. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This Park is located next to Interstate 90 and a truck stop is very noisy. Extra charge per night if you choose to use your air conditioner and if you want cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A no frills shade less park right aside of the interstate and right behind a small truck stop. Easy in/out access for big rigs. Mostly overnighters here, but we stayed for a week and got the weekly rate. Good 50A power at our site, which we needed in the 100 degree heat with no shade. Afternoon winds come blowing through every day, so forget about using your awning. Wifi worked well about 90% of the time. Grant-Kohrs National Park is about 1 mile down the road and local attractions, prison, museum, doll house, are about 2 miles down the road. Two small grocery stores are located in town. Laundry room is small and not all washers/dryers were working. I would stay here again if I were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Acceptable for an overnight stop. A lot of road noise from I-90. The wi-fi is a weak signal; we were blocked from the office by other rigs and couldn't use it until the next morning when they had all left. The owners were nice and gave us good advice about avoiding construction on hwy 93. I'm giving the camp a 6 rating because of the charming little town of Deer Lodge, which has some excellent museums. There's an old prison, a doll museum, two different gun collections, and a dynamite collection of 144 beautifully restored vintage automobiles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is the 3rd time we've stopped here within the past 12 months. Clean park. WiFi worked okay for us. And as that the park is located near I-90 and a truck stop, we were prepared for the noise, which isn't all that bad. Also there is a phone in the office that can be used for calling card calls. Of the three nights we stayed, we got our moneys worth each night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An older park that is okay for an overnight stop. Good ingress and egress for big rigs and long pull through sites. This park charges you as extra for everything--cable tv, wi-fi hookup, etc. The internet hookup is pathetic. They have a desktop set of wi-fi rabbit ears stuck in a window, and no outside antenna. Again, okay for one night if you can accept the limitations and charges. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older campground, but well maintained. The entrance is located just off of I90 and is sandwiched between a restaurant and other businesses. Signage is OK, and I found my way in without much problem. While I was there, they had an electrical problem of some kind that shut down some spaces for a while. I didn't have an outage, however. Sites are gravel with some grass and small trees. Obviously a well used overnight location. Be sure to visit the Prison in Deer Lodge. Admission gets you into three other museums as well as a good Auto Museum. I used C2C as they are a Good Neighbor park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Some shade in park, but not where the 50 amp sites are. Sites level. Staff friendly. Stayed here going and coming from Glacier National Park. If here plan to see the old territorial prison. Also make the drive to Phillipsburg and the old ghost town of Granite. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New Owners?there will be shade when the trees get bigger and this is a really nice CG.Excellent place to spend a couple of days seeing the sites around town. There is the old prison and the auto museum and several other things. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
