Granite Peak RV Resort

We stayed here a few days while visiting family in Missoula. There has only ever been one other park that frustrated us as much as this one. We groaned when we pulled in and saw ALL the signs as it's not usually a good sign (pun intended) but you know, maybe this one is different...

This park has the potential to be great, I'll start there. The front desk staff were super nice, the guy who came to help us with the electric was great. They have a pool, someone was working on fixing up the putt putt area when we were there and it looked like the store had just been updated. There's not a lot of shade on the sites themselves, but you can't make a tree grow any faster. The driveways have been paved recently and there were 3-4 sites at the front that had been paved and had cute little yards.

Where the park has opportunities to "level up":
1. The park has 2 speed bumps coming in (and LOTS of signs telling you the rules) and others around the site. We get it, you don't want people to speed.
2. The driveways and sites are tight. Landscaping timbers (with large landscaping nails sticking up out of them) and t-posts were added to the sites so you won't drive on the grass. You can do it, clearly everyone there did - but it was a challenge to stay the least and a bad way to start a stay when you can't get into a sight without having to work it multiple times. The note here is to not come in after dark and generally pack your patience. The grumbling was a constant theme with the folks coming in on both sides of us. I don't think your tires will appreciate running over those ultra large nails.
2. We were told we had a level site. In all our years, we have never stayed in a site that was so unlevel - both front to back and left to right - that we had two tires off the ground by 6" and the jacks were at their max. We still couldn't get fully level front to back. We we asked about having paid a premium for a level site, the ladies said they would speak to the manager and they would call us. We did not receive a call. They must hear this issue quite a bit because every time we went in for ice someone was asking about a level site.
3. We keep a surge protector on our electric plug. I don't think we've ever not been able to use it. When we asked why power wasn't working, the guy (super nice) came over with the volt meter and verified it was just a slight difference between the legs (but enough the surge protector wouldn't let electric through.) It seemed this was also an issue they hear about often as the guy said what he figured the problem was before he verified it. It was fine, but not comfortable knowing we weren't protected.
4. Contrary to popular belief, water (or other liquids) does not run uphill. Crazy, I know. The septic was on the high side of the site and our connection was about in the middle. Thought I could get enough drop on it to work. I was incorrect. Took me 30 minutes to dump because I kept having to walk the water down the tube so it would drain. They do have a dump station in the front, but note that if you are very big, you'll be blocking the exit.

We’re on our way to Alaska and stopped here for three nights since it’s our last larger city before crossing the border in Bonners Ferry, ID
The staff are all VERY helpful. I had a priority package (USPS) that got lost in Missoula somewhere. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful in locating the package and letting me know when it finally arrived! Very clean and quiet park. $5 washing machines but free dryers. This park is somewhat pricey but highly recommend

Internet pretty weak from our site.
Water pressure good, and no power issues.

Nice stopover on our trip.
Formerly a Jellystone park, and our GPS had a hard time finding it by the address on the confirmation info, but could find it by their name. Apparently the GPS still has the street as Jellystone.
Decent green space between sites, but the length was pretty short. I'm guessing this was built before bigger RVs were commonplace? We parked all the way back in the site, our rear was literally up to the road, and we still had to do some maneuvering to park the truck. Definitely could not have stayed Attached.
Laundry facilities were reasonably priced, clean, and had a nice lounge area. $5.00 a load, but includes dryer as well.
Park is on a cashless system. Laundry, giftshop etc all only take credit or debit cards.
Everyone we met, both staff & guests was very nice. They even kept the shop & pool area open late for guests to try and see the Northern Lights.
Overall a pleasant park, just a little tight for our set up.

Great location, no freeway noise and exceptionally clean bathrooms. Still the price per night is way more than we have ever paid for the same amenities. They do have a pool, basketball court, playground and miniature golf which may appeal to families with children but so do KOAs. They could use a walking path in the middle of rows. As a courtesy, we walked all the way down one end to get to bathroom and laundry but many folk do not. Lastly, there were a lot of campground rules but I saw many sites with towels and miscellaneous stuff hanging out which I thought odd for a place with such strict rules. Overall a lovely place but overpriced

Staff was very flexible as I waited for my tow vehicle repair. The site manager came from info technology and designed a WiFi grid that makes it easy to work. Finally! But best for me, I have an energetic dog. She ran for miles in the surrounding fields.

Some complained of uneven sites, but most sites are pretty flat. I had to level a bit.

Good Resort that is on a path to re-inventing itself. This resort use to be the Jellystone Campground. Recently renamed to Granite Peak RV. Great pool area and club house. Not a ton of shade but plenty to make it work.. Sites are some what tight but nothing like a KOA. Very Relaxing and some good things coming to this place. We will stay here again.

This park deserves more credit than it has gotten. There may be areas of the park that are more un-level than others - it is in the (stunningly beautiful) mountains surrounding Missoula and they are very upfront about which sites are more or less level (ours didn't even need leveling blocks). If having to use leveling blocks is a concern, the nice staff in the office will be more than happy to help you find the best site.

This park is also more pricey than most, however it is comparable to the other two parks around Missoula. It's a reasonable price for being one of few in a gorgeous part of our country with a cool town nearby that has lots to do. Missoula is a quick drive and is worth exploring.

The park itself has a store, nice pool / hot tub and playground, outdoor game areas, and dog park. One of the unique features we appreciated was the enormous pretty meadow area with mowed paths for walking. They even have an "off leash" zone for letting well-behaved pups expend some energy.

Our site was level side to side, roomy, and quiet with a wonderful view of the hills. No cable, but the park wifi was excellent and cell coverage was very good. The laundry is $5 total for washing and drying (pay $5 at the washer by credit card and the dryers are free). The staff couldn't have been nicer - even proactively offering suggestions on the mountain biking trails for us. We would absolutely return and happily spend a little more of our budget to stay here.

Very disappointing. It rained during my stay and the area around my site was covered with thick mud. To make matters worse the area between my spot and my neighbor’s featured piles of dog poop. The restrooms and showers are dated and in need of renovation. It’s $5.00 per washer to do laundry. And the place is located on the outer fringe of Missoula- far from everything but truck stops. Not worth premium pricing
