Very pretty area that the park is in. Being at the base of the mountains is a great view to come out to. Great amenities with decently priced wash/dryers and delicious baked goods and coffee options at the office.

3 nights at Ennis RV Park by Starry Night Lodging

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ennis RV Park by Starry Night Lodging exceeded every expectation on our week-long stay! From the moment we rolled into the wide, level pull-thru site it was clear this park is built for travelers: 50/30/20-amp full hookups, strong water, flawless sewer, and some of the fastest campground Wi-Fi we’ve ever tested—perfect for remote work or streaming beneath Montana’s endless sunsets. The bathhouses sparkle and the laundry is spotless. Management is as stellar as the night sky: After dark the park’s low-glare lighting means a genuine “Starry Night”—we lay on the grass and watched the Milky Way unfold. Location couldn’t be better: downtown Ennis is an easy bike ride, Yellowstone’s West Gate sits a scenic hour south, and Virginia City or Madison Range trailheads make painless day trips. Large-rig friendly (we’re 43 ft plus toad), dog-friendly with green space, and well-graded gravel roads keep dust down.

Where to go

Yellowstone National Park

With 2.2 million acres of parkland, Yellowstone is home to active geysers, waterfall hikes, scenic drives, and cozy campsites. The 12 campgrounds offer group camping and tent camping, with one RV campground featuring 50-amp hookups and a dump station. After setting up camp, admire Yellowstone’s unique geology from the comfort of the roads with a trip around the Grand Loop. Or, hike the expansive trail system to see Yellowstone Lake, multiple backcountry waterfalls, and spring wildflower blooms. If you can’t snag a campsite in the park, consider a Hipcamp just outside the Yellowstone entrance.

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest

The largest national forest in Montana, Beaverhead-Deerlodge offers a scenic escape for camping, paddling, mountain hikes, and lakeside lounging. A host of campgrounds fill this 3.3 million-acre forest, with everything from cabin rentals and group camping to dispersed tent camping and RV campsites. Enjoy stunning mountain views in every season, but check campground amenities to see which spots offer winter access if visiting in the colder months.

Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest

Spanning seven mountain ranges, Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest is an outdoor hub for camping, hiking, horseback riding, and snow sports. Chase adrenaline in the winter with skiing and snowmobiling along the peaks, or wander through the meadows on scenic summer walking trails. For a unique holiday celebration, pick up a permit to cut a Christmas tree from the national forest. Find easy access to natural beauty with a stay at one of the forest’s many campgrounds, where most tent camping, RV campsites, and cabins offer basic amenities like toilets and drinking water.

When to go

Camping near Virginia City is most popular from June to September, when warm summer days make it inviting to explore mountain trails and lakeside hikes. Temperatures average in the low 80s. Nights can get chilly during the shoulder season, so bring extra layers to keep evenings around the campfire fun and cozy. Snowy winters make Montana an exciting destination for snow sports and winter scenery. Check up on Montana’s road condition report to plan a route through parks and forests.
