Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of people living in this park. The washroom building is old and in need of repairs. In the three days we were there, they had not been cleaned. This park is good for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The permanent slots have good tree cover; the short-term slots do not. All the grass in the park is extremely green (due to their sprinkler system, I guess). Our spot was fairly level, and it was very easy to park. The park had a strong sulfur smell. Other reviews have complained about the noise, but we did not find that it was a problem for us (perhaps because we were there only one night). Fighter jets did fly over late Sunday morning, but they were not very loud. The family of cats that lived near the office was cute. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A nice park, but a bit noisy. The owner was always out and about making sure everything was okay. Nice friendly people. A lot of workers who are long term. Only drawback was the speeders. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is adjacent to a main highway so there is some road noise and the airport is on the bluff a few miles away; the commercial flights are not a problem but if the military is flying, takeoff noise is present. Easy park to find and access. Check-in is efficient and the staff is friendly. This park has an older section with paved roads and mature trees and a section with gravel roads and few trees, which is where we were. There were many seasonal rigs in the park and there are storage sites along the edge and a maintenance building near the entrance that needs to be fixed up. The utilities worked fine. Didn't use the cable TV as the satellite worked fine: there are adequate over-the-air chanels for local news and weather. Sites are easy to get into and long enough to leave tow vehicles attached. There is grass between sites and a table is provided. Aircard worked well for internet, I didn't try the Wi-Fi. A good park for the price and we would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A decent park to use while passing through. Wifi went out part way through the evening, but there was a big thunderstorm, so that may have something to do with it. Sites and roads were gravel with some grass. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an older park with trees with dead branches, perhaps they were frozen in the spring, anyway they need trimming. There are nice grassy yards and paved sites. It was uphill 30 feet to the sewer connection. The water faucet on our site was broken and we had to share with next door. The manager offered to supply hose if I needed it. There is friendly staff, and ice prices were good. With a little clean up and repair and I would rate it higher. We would come here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It is a very basic trailer park actually. There are dirt gravel roads for non-regulars. There are lot of trailers with permanent campers. Showers have a code lock, but are not well maintained, nor clean. There were empty body wash bottles and soap. There is lots of noise caused by the free-way and railway, which lasts day and night. There is a friendly and helpful host. Note: the five promised falls in the Missouri River appear to be artificial and locals call them "The damned falls..." Area of camping ground very depressive! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We choose this campground/RV park for level sites, electric, cable and wi-fi. It had all this, plus very friendly accommodating staff. However, overall, the old dictum "you get what you pay for" is very true in this case. The park with 150 sites was very crowded, only a few sites had shade. There were only 2 bathhouses, one an old quonset type trailer facility which was hot. I opted for no shower. The dog run had grass that was so dry and brittle my dog would not go there. The park's proximty to the interstate and attractions may give it some extra points, but when I went back into this site and read the description of its competition, I wish we had stayed there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very quite park convenient to town and any thing you may need. Employees were very helpful and cordial. Sites are level and gravel. Good water pressure. Good destination park as so much to do and see in Great Falls. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient stopover while heading south. Needs some TLC as many things are falling apart. Stayed for a few days last year, but thins are getting worse. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed over night. It is an older park with some long term residents which seem to be separate from the short term area. Sites gravel, fairly level, and long enough to hold 40' motor home with toad attached. There is some noise from from the nearby busy street, but not excessive. Free WiFi. The management friendly and helpful. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
No complaints. Wifi works well and is free. You can wash the bugs off the front of your RV for free. You can wash your whole rig for $7. Park has a large percentage of monthly permanent guests, but that is not necessarily a negative for this park. Lots of room between sites. Plenty of room to get the satellite to lock in. Will stay again when in the city. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great Falls is really lacking a great campground. The staff were very nice but the campground really needs some updates. We stayed here on the way down to Yellowstone for a few days. We had a spot right next to a very run down barn and our view was campers and old vehicles in storage. The mini golf should be taken down it was a mess. We thankfully were as far as we could get from the highway that was busy all the time. It was incredibly noisy even from where we were. The bathrooms need updated but they were clean. This campground was just a spot to put the camper and do things in Great Falls. I didn't see many people out of their campers. The internet was nice to have as well as the cable TV. If you want a spot to park the camper and go then this campground would be good for a few days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Overall this is a nice RV park. Some interior roads and sites are paved and some are gravel and a bit dusty (typical for Montana). Most sites are pull throughs. Water pressure and voltage were good. WiFi worked well even though we were on the extreme edge of the park. RV washing is available by teenage girls who work at the park and while we didn't use the service, I overheard others raving about it. Price paid reflects a Good Sam discount with taxes included. We'll definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here in July 2007. We have come to appreciate it more this year. It is still the same but we are rating it higher since it is an RV PARK and not a campground. The price is right and it the staff is sooo friendly! Good friendly service will win every time and that is what you get here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for 2 nights. Our pull-through site was long and wide. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions. The WiFi worked well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a large campground. Sites are gravel with grass between, and an assortment of trees depending upon which area of the park you may find yourself. Large pull-through w/ toad attached are common. While we were there, a Welarge caravan of Airstream units - all types - were there and we still had plenty of room. All of items [elec, water, sewer, cable worked very well. With all of the items available in Great Falls (Sams/RV repair/Wal-Mart) this is a great place to stay. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a decently nice campground that nicely served our needs while in Great Falls. The sites are nice and wide and pull through's for easy parking. They had gravel pads and nice grassy area between us and neighborer's along with picnic table. The cable worked good and the staff was friendly. It's located right in Great Falls and close to all amenities. We'd stay here again next time we're in Great Falls. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. Very good Wi-Fi. Good interior roads. Long sites. Plenty of well trimmed and watered grass between sites. Good cable TV. Very friendly and helpful owner-office staff. Long term sites are relatively neat particularly in comparison to some other parks. Enjoy your stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large, comfortable park with gravel and grass pull through sites. Good Wi-Fi, friendly helpful staff. Good services in town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent interior roads, with plenty of room for wide turns. Long pull-through sites with excellent 50 amp power. Free Wi-Fi. Good laundry facilities. Very pleasant managers. Well maintained grounds, with nice grass between the gravel sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice friendly staff. Great location in town with easy access to anywhere in the city. Long pull thru sites with grass, but few trees. back-in sites have large shade trees. Laundry room has new washers that have a water saving feature to use less water. The rinse cycle did not seem sufficient. Great cable TV with lots of channels. We enjoyed our 4 night stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place for a stop-over. Cable & WiFi are very good & included in price. Facilities are in need of repair: water source leaks & laundry room is shabby with a number of broken machines. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A good spot for a stop over. Office help very nice and helpful. Can walk out back gate to road across to restaurant. Our spot was nice and large under beautiful trees. The new area for larger motorhomes do not have trees yet. Notice one review mentioned 'worst full timers' but we have seen much worse and didn't think that a problem. Actually didn't rate restrooms as clean, but actually stalls and shower was fairly clean, but inviting appearance was terrible. The doors to get in were filthy and parts of inside above sinks needed paint or cleaning. I didn't take a shower as it just was not overall clean looking. But would stay here again if coming through as it is better than the KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice wide, level sites, some with shade. Excellent wi-fi. Friendly staff. Very clean and well maintained park. Would definitely come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is a way better value than the local KOA. The place is massive and there are lots of trees. The only down sides are that there are some long term RV's there that are some of the worst I have ever seen ! But if people need to live I am not the type to complain just because something is not nice to my eyes. People have a right to live the way they want to. The other down sides are NO POOL. The place is MASSIVE, why not sacrifice a few sites for a really nice pool. It was over 100 degrees and we were actually tempted to bring our kids to the KOA because it had a water park. The other down side is the 9 hole mini golf course which is a severe eyesore ! If I were them I would not even advertise it. I think $30 is high for any RV park but these days that seems to be a good price. I am going to rate this as a good campground for overnighting and for a base camp if you are in Great Falls. This is due to the friendly staff, nice big sites and good price for the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Easy to get to. Near lots of stores and restaurants. Good size site. Friendly staff. Restrooms very warm as they are in a trailer. No shade so it was very hot. Would probably stay here again as a short stopover. We had a pull thru site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our biggest problem was finding the place. The map in our camp guide was most confusing. We found the campground to be clean and nice. Lots are nice size - you are not on top of the neighbor. Some nice large shade trees. We were camped by the back road entry - I would not want to be parked by the highway - it was very noisy. We felt the shower facilities could use a little TLC - new shower handles, replace burned out lights, etc. We enjoyed Great Falls and found it to be a pleasant tree lined town with quite a bit to do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park - wide streets, wide level sites with wide grassy area between sites. Some of the park is paved while part is gravel or processed asphalt. Friendly management! You are allowed to wash your rig for a small fee ($10 for both rig and tow car). We are here for a week - the price indicated is based on the weekly rate. Wi-fi is extra but excellent. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for the money. Wifi excellent at only $2 per day. Cable same with 60 channels that work well for a change. Handy to the city centre and clean and tidy.Staff at front desk helpful and friendly. Would certainly stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this to be a very neat, clean RV park with wide, level pull thru sites. Interior roads are extra wide allowing plenty of swing room into and out of your site. Grass on all of the sites was green due to an underground sprinkler system that they run at night. Good WiFi - not free but cheap at only $2.00 per day. We found Great Falls to be a neat, clean small city with several interesting attractions. If you are there on a weekend don’t miss the huge downtown Farmer’s Market. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at this campground during the Montana State Fair. The campground was busy but was never full. There is an older section to the park which has large trees & shade and a newer section with no shade & small trees. The restrooms are old single wide trailer & the shower stall was actually smaller than what we have in our motorhome. They do have a small laundry room on site but no other amenities. The staff was very helpful & knowledgeable about the area. There are a few things to do in Great Falls ( the Lewis & Clark Visitor Center & CM Russell home & gallery ) and this park is convenient to both of them. Nothing fancy but easy access and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Someone gave this park a 10 - I'm hard pressed to give it an 8. There is nothing unusual about it. It looks tired - grass burned. Vegetation looks tired. Spaces are gravel, and grass is not edged. Old section has paved interior roads. The new section does not. Friendly people in the office. I made a reservation via the Internet and they answered - that was a first for me. Great Falls is a tired town - at least the part I saw. Lots of old, rusted, dirty cars. Trash is not picked-up. I would not stay here more then an overnight in my travels through Montana. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice place to stop over on the way to Canada. The noise wasn't a bit of a problem for us. The people were very nice - they have a crew that will wash your coach and tow for you. Nice, wide, open spaces - no trouble with our DirecTV or internet dish at all. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is well located if you need to be in Great Falls. It's not a place I would want to stay for an extended period, but offers all the necessary amenities for a park this close to the city. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a very nice park and would have gotten a higher rating if not for the location. 10th Avenue runs right beside the park - it is major street in the city and we were awakened all throughout the night by trucks and sirens. Even with the heater on in the rv, it was loud enough to disturb us. Not the place for a good night's sleep. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park has clean, wide, level sites (some paved) with good hookups. Staff is friendly and
helpful. Has both open sites (which we prefer for our satellite dish) and shaded sites for those who desire shade. Easy on and off highway.
We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly and helpful staff. An older KOA with small, but private spaces. Not Big Rig friendly, and at this rate they should have cable TV. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I liked this KOA and rate it a 7 (6.5?) overall but with some conditions. First if you are a “big rig” of any sort there are clearance issues top, bottom, and side, in most of the sites. Narrow roads, tight turns and untrimmed branches are the rule. A prior review would lead you to believe that the place is ugly which is not the case. Still the brush is a visual and operational detriment. Count on being led to your site by a cheerful, enthusiastic teen who may or may not have a clue about bus or trailer steering geometry. The good news is that once situated the sites are fairly private and separated from the neighbor. Given the amount of time and money they evidently spend on flower plantings I can’t understand the lack of tree trimming. Level is hit or miss and again very site dependent. If your bunking in a behemoth and value your paint job I’d advise a pre-entry golf cart ride to the proposed site to check your probability of getting in, They have good internet, a very well stocked store with a snack bar/soda fountain and of course the water park to engage the young. It’s suitable for sliding and splashing but not swimming. The 20+ miles of improved bike trails along the Missouri River are second to none in the US and reason enough to visit GF. The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center is a gem. Free live music is offered for two hours in the evening. No cable-which at $50 a night is a little on the cheap side. We took a ride by the other RV facility listed for Great Falls and would pretty much agree with the reviews written about it. Given another trip to Montana we would return to GF KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
An old KOA with tight turns and narrow spaces. The roads were in need of resurfacing. The showers and washrooms were very good. Friendly staff who moved us to an alternative site after a problem with the space required for the slide out and awning. We are unlikely to stop here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is overpriced unless your kids are under 10 so they can enjoy the small waterpark for the day. With two teenagers in tow, they wanted nothing to do with it. Other than that the rest of the park was typical KOA. The site was adequate with the stated features but nothing out of the ordinary. Even though we were close to the office we could only get the WiFi to work maybe 30% of the time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you value your RV, want water, cleanliness, or for that matter any kind of service at all, stay away from this dump. I should have just turned around and gone elsewhere when I saw that even the entry drive had not been properly maintained for big rigs with branches hanging down everywhere. The next clue should have been when we pulled up to our "site" and the branches were dead and hung down to about the 8' level. The roads and sites are grotesquely narrow for anything other than popups and short trailers. After the staff came and cleared out the overhead we pulled in. We were given assurances that we could pull through and out. This turned out to be blatant lies which we discovered once we had wedged ourselves into this inadequate site. While I had asked for an satellite friendly site, this was anything but. So I looked around the park and discovered unoccupied sites that were not so overgrown. I went to the office and they allowed me to change. That was when the fun began. It was impossible to pull out of this site! There was so much overgrown, dead, stiff vegetation that it was impossible. Added to this were stupid rocks and large stone planters used at the apexes of the sites for "decoration". After struggling for 45 minutes we were finally able to back out, but not without scratches all over the side of our motorhome. We then relocated to the other site with the hope that our troubles were over. Guess again. The water stopped working, the Wi-Fi stopped working, the pool area and hot tubs were filthy, and the evening "entertainment" was a pair of locals who shouldn't be allowed in front of mike. The vegetation on this campground is all dead with only green secondary growth. The old, hard dead wood sticks out everywhere to snag anything larger than a popup. They even treat the tent campers poorly. The tent campsites are all at the lower edge of the park so when it rains, they get drowned. Then, to really stick it to them, they water the tent sites for 12 hours even after a 2" overnight rain! When you add the fact that this park has not been re-paved (gravelled) for years, what you get is a sea of mud. To add insult to injury, this was the most expensive KOA we have ever stayed at. I have decided that KOA stands for KRAPGROUND of America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We couldn't have been more disappointed with this KOA campground. When we checked in, we found they had assigned us a 37' pull-through site for our 38' motorhome towing a car. They appeared dumbfounded at my question as to what we were to do without the extra footage available. A young woman stepped forward and did manage to find us a longer site, but we barely fit. The site was extremely narrow with dead bushes and tree limbs that really needed pruning. Their web site said that they won an award in 2008, but we don't know what the criteria was to qualify. We will never stay there again or recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is too big if you ask me. It is very busy. When you get there it is a tight squeeze to park by the office. The front of the office can only accommodate one or 2 check-ins. They have a nice water park but my son wanted to play in a pool and not get splashed by a bunch of wild kids. NO POOL :-( . I give a good rating because it is all that KOA is about and the reason we go in the first place. They might want to watch who they rent sites to though. When we were there, some punks were renting a cabin and they kept tearing up and down the roads the wrong way in a beat up Honda Accord. The punk driving the car had a face that was just begging to be punched! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a large beautiful RV park in a beautiful area. It is nicely landscaped with trees or bushes between every campsite. Firewood is provided for free. Freshly baked cookies are provided for free in the office. Wireless internet is free (with a code from the office), but some of their hotspots seemed to be having problems during my visit, so I experienced some difficulties accessing it from my site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The Great falls KOA is one of the nicest KOAs I've ever stayed in. It's a little pricey, but the experience was wonderful. Lots of shade, a water park, fruit trees and vegetable gardens (pick what you want), daily pancake breakfast with locally made chokecherry syrups, free firewood delivered to our site. If you stay be sure and catch the free nightly Bluegrass performance. We were there over the Fourth of July and the owners put on a huge fireworks display. Bravo! An excellent experience. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Kids waterpark was a hit. Sites are short but managable. Best bathrooms we had in a 16 day trip by far - hotel quality. Give them a try when in Great Falls - Nice Folks! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The kids enjoyed the pool and waterpark except that there were lots of sticks, bees and bugs floating in it. The free cookies were a big hit and were delicious! The bathrooms and laundry were clean. The laundry was a bit pricey. The sites were private and separated by hedges so you weren't on top of your neighbor. The firewood was free which was a nice treat. The staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. The pancake breakfast was also a nice treat but a little expensive if you wanted anything other than pancakes. I found 4 dead birds in and around our site but once they were reported to the office someone came and took them away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very tight sites. Your neighbor can look into your rig and their campfire pit is 6ft away from the slideout. We only stayed here one night. Most staff was friendly, the assistant manager was rude, bossy and was nasty! Be certain you have an extension cord and an extra hose handy, the hookups are at the end of the drives far away. Vegetation was way overgrown and scraped the sides of the trailer getting into the site. Can't unroll awning, not enough room. Very dusty ! One of the lower-end KOA's out there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice. Lots of vegetation that could be cut back a little. Extremely friendly staff and well stocked store. Stayed in a 38' MH, and turns were a little tight and hard to avoid bushes. Site was level and park was well maintained. Although pricy, would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in what I would consider one of the nicer sites very close to the office. Very well treed in our spot though I would agree with others that they need to trim the bushes back somewhat and was fairly dusty. Firepits situated far too close to the trailer. Fairly difficult time leveling the trailer compared to most we've been to. Very nice waterpark/pool area for kids though water was far too cold to enjoy for long. Campground store was well stocked. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They took our reservation for a 40 foot 5th wheel. They showed us two sites that were absolutely unacceptable. We drove into one site and were lucky to get out. They showed us another that we wouldn't have fit into either. If you have a big rig, I would recommend going elsewhere, which is what we needed to do. We normally like KOA but this one couldn't accomodate us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park was very nice, really well kept, flowers in bloom, restrooms and showers were spotless, free firewood, free pool and hot tub, a little pricey but a very nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just camped here one night and it was okay, but very dusty. Our site was level but saw a lot of campers/motorhomes who really seemed to have problems leveling. We camped here in a truck/camper and probably would not stay here again, even though Staff friendly and helpful. A water park is available for people with children so that could be a plus for a family who need something to entertain the little ones. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
While this is a great RV park if you need activities for kids (they do have a small water park), it's way over priced if you're not using these amenities when compared to other RV parks in this general area. It has a very nice woodsy / campground feel, but unfortunately the vegetation is overgrown to the point of being a problem for larger rigs. Many of the pull-through sites are difficult to get into or out of due to the narrow roadways, tight row spacing, and overgrown vegetation. When pulling our 43' long travel trailer - tow vehicle combination out of our site, heavy branches from the overhanging trees left heavy scratches down the side of our 25' travel trailer. Our pull-through site was also very unlevel in two different directions, requiring leveling blocks, etc. The upside to this park is that lots of staff were present, are efficient, and very friendly. And while I won't recommend you avoid this park (unless you have a large rig), I doubt we'll stay here again mainly due to the price and tight spaces. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Private oasis on outskirts of town. Beautiful flowers and landscaping, level sites. Kids played in water park and loved it. Friendly staff and great pancake breakfast. We camped here in a Motorhome.
