Deer Lodge KOA

If you’re looking for a great campground for exploring western Montana, you can’t do much better than Deer Lodge KOA. Camping with an RV there is a cinch with 75-foot-long sites and 50 amp electrical hookups. If you don’t feel like going out, there’s a convenient Kamping Kitchen on-site. Should you get hungry during the day, there’s also a small snack bar where you can pick up things to munch on. The KOA is conveniently located just off of Interstate 90 at the northern end of Deer Lodge’s main thoroughfare.

Perhaps, more importantly, are all the nearby things to do when you book an RV in Powell County. The Pintler mountain range and wilderness area is just next door and is one of the most underrated places to go hiking in the state. Trails are almost never crowded, and the alpine vistas and crystal-clear lakes are sights not to be missed.

Need some big-city entertainment? Both Missoula and Helena are around an hour's drive away from Deer Lodge KOA. The former is arguably the cultural capital of the state with several art galleries, independent record stores, and an art house cinema. The latter is Montana’s capital and a town with a vibrant mining past that’s worth exploring on a day trip. Deer Lodge itself is no slouch when it comes to attractions either. There's loads of interesting history to explore in the town’s museum complex and at a few different sites just outside the city limits.
