Camping

Camping opportunities abound in and around Missoula.

Within a stone’s throw of the city there are three sizable, privately-owned campgrounds with many amenities to ensure a pleasant and comfortable experience. Missoula’s KOA Campground, Jellystone RV Park, and Jim & Mary’s RV Park are all on the city’s fringe and provide easy access to all that Missoula has to offer.

If you’re looking for more of a rustic camping experience, Lolo National Forest campgrounds are plentiful and most are within an hour or so drive from Missoula.

Some forest campgrounds are equipped for RVs but many are not. Some have hot showers and flushable toilets, but some do not. You’ll want to confirm amenities at each camping area to ensure that the campground meets your needs.

Whatever your camping needs, you’ll find a choice of viable options in and around Missoula to pitch your tent or pull in your RV.
