Outstanding improvement in the Camp Host selection. They were on top of any issues before they got out of hand. Well run and a giant improvement over the older first come system. Great place to camp in Montana.

The campground was nice, but making the reservation through your online system was difficult. Your online reservation system asks us about what our camping equipment is, one selection is a large tent, which further says 12' or larger, then then another option of a small tent. We selected small tent and also a small camping trailer. We were then charged according to our selection. When we arrived at the Holter Lake campground they said we had to pay for our tent again because it was not listed on our reservation. Your either need to correct your equipment selection on the website or inform the curators at the camp ground to stop charging for small tents!

Campground is very tight for 5th wheels in many sites - be sure to check the length online, although difficult to tell how the road is where you'll be backing in from. A lot of tight curves make some of them really hard to maneuver. Appreciated having water close to our campsite since we had issues with water leaking from a valve.
