Helena North KOA Journey

I was pleasantly surprised with this Campground. We traveled with our 4 kids (age 4-13), so wifi was kind of important. I must say, the wifi is the best! You could even stream with no problems. They had a really nice area with giant chess/checkers, Bags, and Ladder Golf. You could tell in the summer they have a propane fire going in that area as well. I didn't go into the bathrooms, so I can't speak on those. There was a nice fenced in dog park for the furry friends too. Check in was simple, just grabbed our map tapped on the office door and found our site. It was the off season so their office hours were limited.

We had a full hook up campsite. It was fairly level and came with a little patio area. There was a lot of space to park vehicles as well.

I only had one con to this Campground and it was they didn't have fire rings/pits. There's probably a reason for it, but it just didn't seem like camping without them.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to anyone!!

This KOA is quiet and convenient to Helena. It's all gravel with little grass spots between sites. As usual, the sites are narrow, but most have patios and picnic tables. The office is nice. Laundry not so nice. It was filthy and several machines were broken. Roads in the park are nice and wide. There's a big grassy section toward the back. AT&T service was fine.

My plans went awry and I had to find a place over the holiday weekend last minute. The only spot available at the time was electric only, back in. All that would have been fine, except it was literally packed in people in very narrow, gravel sites. You felt like you were in a parking lot. My 3 dogs didn’t do well in such close quarters with no grass or anything to lay out on. The next morning I went to the office to see what I could do. A row-end full hook up site had opened up for the remainder of the days I needed, and they kindly allowed me to credit the unused portion for my electric site towards the new site. That was a nice surprise, especially during the holiday weekend. The new site being on the end had a nice-sized grassy area and felt like I could breathe again.

The dog park was nicely stocked with bags and kept very clean. Everything was kept extremely clean. The camp store had a nice selection of laundry detergents etc.

This is not my style of camping but I would stay again when passing through due to the friendly staff and the extremely clean facilities.

As an RV Park this place is perfect. It isn’t a beautiful national park so don’t expect great scenery. It is very conveniently located off of I-15 north of Helena.

Every amenity was as advertised except for the WiFi. It was AWESOME. If WiFi is important to you, this is your campground. They have multiple hotspots throughout the place.

The showers and toilets were clean and great and the laundry was very nice.

As others have stated, this property became a KOA at the beginning of the 2019 season. However, it's currently a KOA in name only -- even their maps still say Lincoln Road RV Park. It lacks the amenities you'd expect from a KOA: No tent sites, no cabins, no fenced dog area, no cable TV, dated restrooms. None of those things are important to us, so we didn't miss them, but they should be charging less until those things are in place. Our price reflects 10% discount with KOA membership.

That being said, the property is very clean and well maintained. The sites are level, long, and gravel with a concrete patio, picnic table, and really nice grass. Those that have stated it's a gravel parking lot are exaggerating a bit -- we've stayed in an actual gravel parking lot and this is not that. The employees are all very nice and helpful. The wifi works pretty good, which is a bonus seeing as we had terrible cell reception, even with a booster -- good enough to make calls and texts, but was intermittently dependable for anything more than that. There's a gas station/market a block up the road that has a deli counter and is sufficient for necessities. Location is great -- very close to I-15 and you can get anywhere in Helena in about 15 minutes. Laundry worked great and we were able to fill our propane. Helena is a great city to visit and we felt safe staying here and leaving our trailer to explore.

If we were to pass through Helena again, we would stay here.

We stayed in Helena to check out the town and as a stopping point to get closer to Yellowstone.
This RV park is a KOA now and I think they are in the midst of some improvements
We had a nice long pull thru site and super strong and fast WiFi
The park is basically a gravel parking lot. But the staff is friendly, other campers friendly and while the common areas and bathrooms are dated they are incredibly clean.
The park is 8 miles or so from downtown Helena and only 5 miles or so from shopping.
Our favorite thing on this stop was hiking MT Helena!
