Lake Como Campground

The rules are being bent. You show up in your vehicle early without your RV, get a site and they will hold it for 2-3 hours so you can go get your RV. This is in effect a short term reservation. The rules on the board say you must occupy your site when you pay. Not so, if you are a local resident, I arrived in the Morning with my RV and two sites were being held, i.e. reserved, for someone to go back and get their RV. This reservation exception works if you live close to Lake Como, so you can get your site then run back to get your RV. If you’re driving in from Butte, Billings, Great Falls, or any place more than an hour away, don’t bother unless you have a ready alternative or you arrive at sunrise. Don’t complain to the Camp Host … his hands are tied by the Forest Service interpretation of the policy.

Even with several other campers in RVs, this campground was a paradise in mid-May. Silent except for the birds and stream that feed Lake Como, it was the perfect place to get away from things.

The hosts were lovely, though they don’t sell firewood on site, so make sure to stop in town on your way in.

I seriously almost changed my plans to go to flathead lake and nearly stayed a second night. Would absolutely come back.

Roads are paved to and inside the campground. Bathroom was spotless even though they’re pit toilets. I’m in an SUV, so I didn’t use the hookups, but it was the same price with or without.

This is a fabulous campground with only ten sites situated right on Lake Como. There is electricity and water. Although water was not available since they are working on the pumps during my stay. I am told it will be operating quite quickly. The toilets were very clean. The host was very friendly and accommodating

Note that there is no cell phone but one can drive to Darby and have access without any problems

The town of Darby is great. They have everything that one needs along with a great organic shop.

The hikes are plentiful and rarely see anyone on the trails. The hike around the lake is superb. It is about seven miles but pretty flat.

Certainly recommend this campground w/o any reservation.
