Browse 447 options with an average nightly rate around $45, ranging from budget-friendly stays starting at $2 to premium escapes up to $328. Summer is popular for boating and swimming, fall draws leaf-peepers and whitewater fans on the Russell Fork, and some properties reduce availability in winter, so check seasonal openings and book ahead for peak weekends.
Most destinations offer a variety of accommodations including tent sites, RV sites, cabins, yurts, and glamping options. Check individual property listings for specific amenities and site types.
The best time to visit depends on your preferences and planned activities. Spring and fall typically offer mild weather and fewer crowds, while summer is peak season with the warmest temperatures. Winter visits can be great for those seeking solitude and winter activities.
We highly recommend making reservations in advance, especially during peak season (summer months and holidays). Popular destinations can book up weeks or even months ahead. Last-minute bookings may be available during off-peak times.
Pet policies vary by property. Many campgrounds welcome pets but may have restrictions on size, breed, or number of pets. Some properties charge additional pet fees. Always check the specific property's pet policy before booking.
Essential items include a tent or RV, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, food and water, appropriate clothing for the weather, first aid kit, flashlight, and any specific gear for planned activities. Check the property's amenities to see what's provided and what you'll need to bring.
