My property is less than a mile off MT-83, between Seeley Lake and Condon. I back up to both Lolo and Flathead National Forest.

Only 15 minutes to all Seeley Lake has to offer. Enjoy the wilderness as your backyard, but still have easy access to town and great ATT cell service. The access road is a little rough, but I can get my 40ft class A up with no issue.

This property is so beautiful and peaceful out here at night. Seasonal Spring fed pond, Ponderosa pine trees, fallen white birch, rustic and gorgeous. Some of my camp spots are on rough terrain. I always suggest you get out and walk around to see what you can manage with your vehicle. The idea of my place is more wilderness camping, there is wildlife that comes around. RV camp spots on the east and west end of the pond. Camp spot out by the wooden round pen on the west side. Completely private, borders 2000 acres of a bird sanctuary. Two blocks from Bitterroot river canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swim, trails, hiking, scenery, wildlife. My pond is spring fed, which means that is goes up and down with the seasons and run off from the snow in the mountains and collects cotton from the trees when they shed. So as the summer goes on the pond levels go way down, please be aware of that.

Space is level and quiet. Plenty of space to set up solar panels and do dog training. Space is far enough away from structures that quiet generators can't be heard at all by neighbors. Also managed neighborhood dog walks without issue. Drivers were slow and courteous to pedestrians. Was quickly greeted by two curious cats and enjoyed watching a couple young deer play in the grass just 20 feet from my trailer. Would stay again.

I ended up at Cody’s at kind of the last second and he and his wife were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The space is really clean and well kept. Me and my dogs slept great. I would have booked another night but had plans for the next evening already. I highly recommend this spot - a steal for the price.

The views are excellent! I got in pretty late so it was maybe a little more difficult to navigate after dark, but I still managed to find a spot and the toilets pretty easily. Erin was very helpful and quick to respond.

Listen to those reviews because they are RIGHT! Booked a month ahead as we are on a long roadtrip. This place did not disappoint one bit and Dolly was an absolute gem! Maybe the porta potty is a complaint in other reviews but it’s super well maintained and clean. This is NOT a bougie campground. It is real camping. Hope to make it back again soon and excited to see the additions Dolly wants to make! Xoxo

The best camping in Travelers' Rest State Park, MT guide

Overview

About

Follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark by setting off on a Travelers' Rest State Park camping expedition. Known as the only archaeologically confirmed Lewis and Clark Expedition campsite, this location is deeply steeped in history and culture. Not only did the legendary explorers leave their footprints here, but Native peoples, such as the Salish, Pend d'Oreille, and Nez Perce, held this area dear long before the expedition. The tales of these diverse cultures unravel in the programming offered at the park, providing campers a profound immersion into the history of the place.

Lolo Creek, a gently flowing stream bisecting the park, sets the scene for serene walks along the trails. It's a birding hotspot too, having registered a presence of over 115 species. So, pack your binoculars when setting up your camp and enjoy the concert of chirps and tweets.

Campers are invited to explore the Visitor's Center and Museum. It's like opening a time capsule, revealing replicas from the Lewis & Clark Expedition, artifacts of Salish culture, Native American hand crafts, and even a representation of a frontier Main Street. Camping near Travelers' Rest State Park is not just a compelling escapade; it's a voyage into the vibrant annals of Native American and frontier history.

When to go

The best time to visit Travelers' Rest State Park is during the warmer months, from May 1 to September 30, when the Visitor Center is open daily from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Winter offers a quieter visit, but keep in mind the reduced hours and potential closures due to holidays.

Know before you go

  • Check for any special restrictions or closures before your visit, especially during seasonal changes.
  • Montana residents can enjoy free daily entrance with the state parks fee included in their vehicle registration.
  • Nonresidents should be prepared to pay a day use entrance fee of $8 with a vehicle.
  • The park is ADA accessible, ensuring an inclusive experience for all visitors.
  • Remember to practice 'Leave No Trace' principles to preserve the park's natural beauty.
