Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- Due to its super accessible location, reservations book up fast, especially on holidays and weekends. To snag a spot anytime from June through September, make your reservation early.
- Reservations can be made 90 days ahead of time. Other alternatives are to look for last-minute cancellations or consider visiting during the week.
- The campground is open from May through September. Reservations are required and can be made online or by phone.
When to Go
Playing in the river is one of the best things to do in Red Lodge Provincial Park. To get the most out of your experience, plan your visit in July or August when water levels are safest (they may be too high and fast earlier in the season). Not a fan of crowds? Try booking a few nights in the middle of the week.
Know Before You Go
- Campsites are shaded and private, but some are smaller than others. If you have a big RV, check out Loop C.
- Looking for extra family fun? A short drive will lead you to plenty of kid-friendly spots, including the Discovery Wildlife Park and area U-pick farms.
- Forgot something during your last-minute packing? You can find everything you’ll need at the park's convenience store—it’s also a great place to send the kids for an ice cream on a hot day.
