This is a state park in the Pioneer mountains, close to crystal park, Elkhorn hot springs, Ghost towns of Coolidge and Bannack, and the Pioneer Mountains scenic byway between Polaris (don't blink or you will miss it) and Wise River.
Well they have bears, although I have never seen one. There are warnings posted everywhere. They have the new and improved forest service outhouses, nice camping areas,drinking water, trails, gold panning in the creek, again I have never found gold but I have friends who go there for that very reason. As long as there aren't any burning restrictions, they have nice fire pits also.
Last year it cost $9 for a campsite.

This a a relatively new hotel located a couple blocks outside the Yellowstone National Park gates (in the city of West Yellowstone, MT). Large rooms and friendly staff make this a great starting place for your adventures. We had a large room with a king size bed, fridge, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, pull out sofa couch and lots of lights. One more important thing, this is a pet friendly hotel. Overall, this is a great place to stay.
Included in your rate was a continental breakfast, pool, jaccuzi, sauna, satellite TV with HBO, heated underground parking, free local calls and interior corridors. You also have access to washers and driers. And there is lots of room outside to run and do your business

Not the nicest facilities for tent camping, but if you have an RV, cheers!
The price was a little steep too, but the location was great, just a little outside Helena.
All the usual KOA facilities: pool, store, showers, etc.

Western Montana is full of rivers. The Bitterroot, the Blackfoot, the Clark Fork, the Yellowstone, The Big Hole, The Flathead, and on and on and on. And they all get fished...alot. So there are many many fishing accesses where you park your car and gain access to the river. Most of these places allow camping, and most do not charge. Granted no showers but they do have a bathroom, modern day forest service "outhouses" have come a long way and they are generally well maintained. Oh and did I mention FREE?
The views are always outstanding, you are on a river and there is nothing nearby to disturb you. They have picnic tables and firepits also.

I always recommend this place to customers in the restaurant looking for a nice place to stay in the valley. This is the kind of place you come to Montana for. 2 cabins with kitchen facilities, I guess you could cook up the fish you caught that day.
Great views, beautiful part of Montana, quiet and private. The host family are wonderful people. (lol see my warning or danger tip about speeding in Darby)

Alot of people coming to Montana want to see both Glacier National park and Yellowstone National park. That is a big undertaking and a lot of driving but if you insist upon it, the shortest route between the 2 parks is u.s. 89 and about 1/2 way in between there is this funky little town called White Sulpher Springs. This is not a fancy hotel by any means and not expensive but very Montana ish..... it took us about 4 1/2 hours to drive there and no i would not go out of my way to go back because there are nicer hot springs closer to where I live but if I was traveling between the 2 parks it would be the perfect layover and very relaxing.
they have a hot springs pool, need i say more?

The Best Western at West Yellowstone is located just a couple of miles outside Yellowstone National Park. The town of West Yellowstone has dozens of motels for tourists who want to experience the beauty of the oldest national park of the country.

Glacier National Park has many fine campground spread over its considerable area. Organized car campgrounds are mostly clustered on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. With the great size of the park, it makes most sense to move from one area to the next rather than backtrack but if you remain in one spot, at least the road you are backtracking on is amazingly scenic! Campgrounds vary in amenities and also when they are open so please check the park's helpful website to pick the one that best suits your needs. West of Logan Pass has Apgar, Fish Creek, Sprague Creek, Lake McDonald, and Avalanche Creek. I have not stayed on that side of Logan Pass so cannot comment on them.
The east side of the Divide has Rising Sun and St. Mary on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. On that side of the park but in separate sections of the park, there is Many Glacier and Two Medicine. Most campgrounds in the park are first-come, first-served but you can reserve for St. Mary and Fish Creek.
In 1994, I camped at Rising Sun and it was a wonderful spot but on our most recent trip in 2008, we picked Many Glacier for a variety of reasons. Though remote from much of the park, it is close to some of the finest day hikes in the park. More importantly, it was close to a backcountry ranger station, making it easy for me to get up early and walk to get permits while D slept in.
This is grizzly territory and proper food storage is required. Rangers make the rounds to make sure you are not leaving any food out when not in use. They have food storage lockers for those camping without a hard-sided vehicle but unlike Yosemite, you do not have to use them if you do have a hard-sided one. This is a lot easier logistically when you are moving around.
It was $20 per night to camp in the summer of 2008 and pretty good value.

It's hard to give lodging recomandations for the whole state of Montana. So if you have any questions, and you want me to give you a few possible locations, e-mail me. If your here in motor homes, try the KOA Campgrounds, they seem to be pretty nice.
