Lake Frances Campground

The Rocky Mountain Front is perhaps Montana’s most underrated feature. With Glacier National Park just a short drive to the north, this 100-mile stretch of awe-inspiring peaks doesn’t get the attention it deserves - which is all the more reason for renting an RV in the area. One of the best RV campgrounds with views of the Rocky Mountain Front can be found on the shore of Lake Frances when you book an RV in Pondera County. Lake Frances Campground is the ideal place to visit when you’re looking for campsites near the Rocky Mountain Front, with sites including electrical hookups, picnic tables, and firepits, but are otherwise set up for those wanting to rough it while RV camping. However, there is a dump station towards the edge of the campground, along with a water spigot for drinking water.

The campground also has two boat ramps, making it easy to get out on the water when camping with an RV at Lake Frances. If you don’t have your own boat though, the closest place to rent one will be Great Falls, over an hour's drive away. However, there’s plenty of fun on the shore too, with a small children’s playground and a volleyball court for a day of family fun.

The main draw for most visitors to Lake Frances is the incredible fishing; the lake is well-stocked with walleye and pike. There’s a fish cleaning station on the shore, so you won’t need to dirty your campsite with your catch either. Even if you’re not an angler, Lake Frances has some excellent outdoor recreation opportunities. Hikers and mountain bike riders will enjoy the network of trails just outside the campground, and bird watching enthusiasts will love the variety of shorebirds that make their home on the wetlands surrounding Lake Frances.
