MTBCity was a great base camp! The owners were welcoming and the facilities were fantastic. I loved the raised camp site as well as the well outfitted "cook house". While we were there to mountain bike, we were able to meet a number of adventure cyclists who were riding the divide. Their stories were captivating and the only way we would have met them was through this Helena Gem. I would highly re... MTBCity was a great base camp!

I would highly recommend this option if you are considering a great place to stay that accesses amazing trails.

Mtn Bike City is an oasis with a great location in Helena. It is next to a regional trail with access to many miles of trails yet is in town. the camp spot was perfect for tent camping and the communal kitchen, restroom and showers were all good. My sons especially enjoyed biking around on the loaner tandem bike, certainly a bonus for active teenager's! Great spot to stay in Helena!

We randomly discovered this park 2 years ago. While a long distance from home, we wanted to return, so we are back! The sites are spacious, full hookups work well, and the sunsets and solitude are hard to beat. The onsite BBQ restaurant and bar are the best in Arco. We absolutely love this place, and will be return. Well done guys, keep up the good work!

This is one of the best RV parks I have ever been to. It was so clean, well managed and maintained, and the people were so friendly. The sites were very spacious and all pull throughs. There was lots of grass with shade and picnic tables at each site. The restaurant on site was also amazing, we ate there twice. I would highly recommend this park.

They had the best bbq and drinks we’ve ever had. The sites are all pull thru and have a good amount of room with full hookups. The showers were very clean and had hot water and a big fenced dog park where our dog could run around after being in the rv for a long day of driving. We were sad to go but will for sure come back when we’re in Idaho again. Great atmosphere and beautiful views! Ryan was an amazing host and Stephanie was a fantastic cook! Make sure to try a Super Spud before they sell out!

We are traveling through Idaho and decided to check out Craters of the moon. This was the best campsite we could find in the area. I was not expecting it to be this nice! There is a small dog park that is very well taken care of ( they even have toys in a box for the pups and fresh water ) The grass is very well kept! The bathrooms are incredibly clean.

I was not expecting it to be this nice! There is a small dog park that is very well taken care of ( they even have toys in a box for the pups and fresh water ) The grass is very well kept! The bathrooms are incredibly clean. You do have to pay for showers, but it’s completely worth it!!! The showers are so nice! …. I’m talking soft pebble shower floors and beautiful tile. My only complaint was, I was looking forward to playing cornhole at evening but the lights did not end up turning on so I couldn’t since it’s so dark. Altogether this campground is incredibly well taken care of! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that’s in the area!

This park tries really hard. But there is nothing they can do about the fact that their property is in the middle of a dust bowl and there is hardly any grass anywhere. There are some nice trees peppered throughout, but overall the best thing the park has going for it are its views. The back row has people who rent long term and that takes away from what little ambiance they could hope for. Also w... This park tries really hard. But there is nothing they can do about the fact that their property is in the middle of a dust bowl and there is hardly any grass anywhere. There are some nice trees peppered throughout, but overall the best thing the park has going for it are its views. The back row has people who rent long term and that takes away from what little ambiance they could hope for. Also watch out if you're towing as their sites are on the shorter side. To the owner's credit though, they did let me stick out some. Restaurant is a nice touch, but it makes the owners focus more on transient restaurant clients than their RV customers. Finally, they can use a lesson in hospitality because they will pretend to be your friend but then behave in an aggressive and unprofessional manner for no good reason at all. One of my vehicles was parked on the "grass" right beside my site for a few minutes and the guy who owns the park nearly lost his mind, raised his voice and started using all sorts of expletives in front of other customers because he claimed his 20 dollar sprinkler heads were at risk of being damaged. The pictures will show you how much "grass" there was at my site. Overall, ok to spend a couple nights but would avoid longer stays.

Great place to stay whether you're riding the Divide or the excellent MTB trails around Helena. Eileen & Conrad are great host, it's a fun and cool place to stay. The campground is setup nicely with a covered community/cooking area, there's a sauna, showers, a nice deck for taking in the sunset, and it's right on a bike path.

Great campsite for bike packers. the really great thing about this small campground is that there is a big place " picknick shelter" to sit and relax. you can cook there, there's lots of tables, chairs, hammocks :-).

Very nice atmosphere. it has a very clean shower and toilet and there are towels available. There is no shadow where you put up the tent. and the actual tent spaces are on the small side we have a two and a half big Agnes tent and it barely fit. you can only reserve online but for us that was no problem.
