This park is quaint and rustic and a good spot for small RVs and tents. Their idea of a big-rig spot is the road next to their building. Laundry room was filthy and 2 of 4 driers were out of order. Owners have only been in business one year. Park needs much grooming, trimming, etc. We would not likely stay again. - Ramblin' Duo

Ok for an overnight, but would look elsewhere if possible. Full hookups have no shade. Partial hookups are shaded. While the owners/managers are friendly, there are a fair amount of long term stays in this park, with their trailers in various states of (dis)repair. Clean laundry room is a plus. The train is definitely loud and close. - Maltaman

This campground was neat and tidy, the owners helpful and friendly, washrooms clean, sites spacious. We had some difficulty (our own fault) parking in our assigned site. The owner was very accommodating in getting us situated. Quiet and peaceful - a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. - Peg-Garry

The first person we meant was the camp host Bill, great guy. He has been working hard to improve the look of the park and interacts with the guess. He is the best camp host I have ever meant. The sites are all pull throughs. Gateway RV park is outside the base so easy in and out, no gates. I will come back next year and really, really hope to see Bill again, BEST CAMP HOST EVER! - Pamalajean

Was going to stay two nights....left after one. Meets minimum standards but that's about all I can say for this FamCamp. Not pleasant appearance and zero amenities. Host told us where to park but wasn't at all friendly nor helpful. Not suppose to take reservations but I saw at least three spots with reserved signs....one I guess was for someone's pickup because that's all I saw park there. Doubt I'd even stop there again for an overnight if I was in the area. - Vita Vivet

This has become our default campground in the area. Cleaner and quieter then the other two. Since I'm "from" GF I know the area well and this is certainly in a better neighborhood then "one" and easier "big rig" access then "two". Plus base security comes through a few times a day.

We've never found the "no reservation" thing an issue as we don't try to stay here during "busy" times (like the Fair).

We found the campground access easy and the WiFi usable. - wetterwashington

We thought we were getting a deluxe pull-through site, especially for $100 USD a night. On top of that they charged us $10 for our 5 year old daughter. What we got was a site with weeds, no cable and no Wi-Fi. This is by far the most expensive KOA we have ever stayed at and can't really say that we would return. The Splash Park was nice for kids, lacking a pool though.... As previously mentioned, the Walmart was within walking distance. - MattfromAB

We were 'given' a Deluxe site because we were told we were too long for the original site - as mentioned in previous reviews deluxe sites are in the open and very poorly maintained. There is a drought in Montana so not surprising - but something could have been done about the weeds and dry brush - not very appealing that's for sure. We were looking forward to a swim and it turned out to be a children's water park - not really for adults though we did stay and tried out the water slides! Firewood is free. Easy in and out, free entertainment at night and a nice breakfast available in the morning. - Tosh

There are new owners so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it is obvious that there are years of deferred maintenance to catch up on. the older part of park is hilly and very unlevel. Parking spot is flat but sites fall away from front doors. Newer part of the park has no relief from the summer sun. Trees in older part provide relief from the sun but need badly to be trimmed. wifi is spotty and the staff is well aware. Their solution is to come to the office to connect. With only 2 choices in great falls, this is the better option. - chopper989

Nice well run campground. We were fortunate to have a site number 75 near the back of the park and intern had no road noise to disturb. Our site was Almost level and hook ups were conveniently located. So we did not use the showers or bathrooms I did stop by and they could certainly use an upgrade. In the rear of the campground there are many stored vehicles and other things . It would be nice if those were hidden by fence or otherwise as they take away from the overall comfort of the campground. There appeared to be as many seasonal RVs as there are trenches. . It would be nice if those were hidden by fence or otherwise as they take away from the overall comfort of the campground. There appeared to be as many seasonal RVs as there are short timers. We we saw very few people enjoying the out-of-doors but that may have been because of the smoke from nearby fires. On the other hand when we went to sit outside we found ourselves disturbed by many bees. We too and it up inside the trailer. Wi-Fi was available but very poor connectivity. The Over the air TV stations that were available as per the park's literature were clear and the major stations were covered. The park is ideally located near visitors center, the Missouri River, the interpretive center and restaurants and shopping. We most enjoyed the bike path being right there next to the park. Great bike route along either side of the river all paved. - John-Jean

August 24,25 Dick's RV Park, Great Falls, MT 120 sites mostly full hookups. bathhouse with showers, propane, dump station, $40 with Good Sam, Laundry, pet areas. This campground has 120 sites right next to each other and there seems to be a lot of seasonals but it's a great stop right in Great Falls. The bike trail starts here but you ride along a busy road so it's better to pick it up at one of the parks along River Drive or the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. This town is not hard to drive around. Check-in was easy and the people in the office were very nice. We met a lot of nice campers here. One can walk to some stores and restaurants right from campground. - gsnakehill

Passage under a railroad bridge, makes you think "holy cow, I'm lost," but then it immediately opens up at the entrance. This park, while not fancy, is adequate in all respects for a transient stay. The sites were level, roomy, and with conveniently located hookups. Staff are friendly. Lanes are gravel. Sites are gravel. Utilities work well. No Cable TV Satellite set up is easy. Many of the rigs are owned by folks who live here long term and work in the area so once they get home around 6:00 PM WiFi gets very slow. AT&T Cell service is good. Verizon Broadband is good: There is a fenced Dog park in the very back corner next to the hiway. No Pool. No Play area for kids. No Bugs. - JanneC

Called today to get info for a stay later this summer and was told by their administration that they no longer provide campsites to the "drive by" public unless it is associated with an Expo event. Their campground is still open, but only for their events. - readontheroad

This park has shady sites. The campground is located on site at the Montana State Fairgrounds. The roads are gravel, the sites are not level, but usable. The sites are not paved and this year they are muddy. The bathrooms/shower are located in the livestock pavilion. They are adequate at best, there is a lingering odor of livestock and we just cleaned the showers ourselves before use. There are many permanent residents and workers. We stayed here because the other affordable park was booked and another quoted us a $95/night price tag. This one was $150/week. - Joann26
