Summary

Holter Lake Campground is well-maintained and offers a beautiful setting with clean facilities, spacious sites, and friendly hosts, making it a popular choice for annual family gatherings. Many guests enjoyed activities like boating and fishing, with special praise for the helpful camp host, Kevin, who went above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. Some minor concerns included site accessibility and occasional noise, but overall, visitors expressed a desire to return due to the campground's charm and cleanliness.
My family does a yearly camping trip/reunion. When I booked booked the sites I did not know they were actually in a parking lot. I picked them because they were close the boat launch and lake. After reviewing the site about 2 weeks prior to trip I realized my son's 5th wheel was too long for the site I booked for him. I changed the site and he was now booked for the A loop which is a very nice camp ground. The site my husband and I were in was extremely narrow. Our slide out and steps were in the sites adjacent to ours on each side. On day 2 our slide out was damaged by a motorhome just arriving. Needless to say we were upset and wanted to change sites. On the first day I was able to get a site in the A loop but it was booked for the weekend and we had to stay in the parking lot until Monday... Because of the accident my husband went to speak with the camp host Kevin as did the man who hit us. The man admitted that it was his fault.. to the camp host. Long story short Kevin was amazing and was able to move us and another family member up into the A loop immediately! He went above and beyond for our family! I cannot give him enough praise! The remainder of our stay was amazing. Our family's sites were close together in the Aloop. Birthdays and our Anniversary was celebrated. We rented Pontoon boats and toured the Gates of the Mountain, grandkids swan and jumped of huge rocks! We fished and I caught my first pike! All in all the trip was wonderful thanks to Kevin working his magic to keep us all close. We will definitely return to Holter Lake in the future.
Went for just a short stay. We've stayed here before and plan to return, probably every year. Campground was quiet. It is essentially primitive RV camping with no electricity or water. Beautiful area, lots of birds and other wildlife!
Campground was clean & campsites are good sized for our situation. We did get some odor from the toilets nearby at spot #9 one night but will book again & get a site further away.
Holter Lake Campground is accessible via Montana State Highway 200, which is approximately 15 miles to the south. US Highway 287 is also within a 25-mile range, providing further access to the area.
