Montana Basecamp RV Park, Kalispell MT

Very disappointing. This place has so much potential, but it has not been maintained at all. The bathrooms are completely disgusting. Not cleaned, no soap, no toilet paper, no hand towels. There are only 2 bathrooms for over 60 spaces. They are a combined shower/toilet so the wait for someone to get out can be very long. The trees they planted are mostly dying. Lots of full timers, so there are all the downsides of that - excess noise, dilapidated rigs, etc. The only saving grace was the open area behind the sites that our dog loved.

My review is for Andy’s great service. Every call or email was answered right away. We needed Amazon delivery for water pump and tongue jack and needed to come an extra day. He fit us in. I love the park. It is new. The most wondrous part is it is paved, no gravel then there is a very long paved historic walking trail that goes into the meadow from one side of the park to the other. We loved it. If road noise or construction bothers you, get on the side that is a few more dollars, it backs up to the beautiful mountains, meadow and sunset. Our T-Mobile internet worked great. We are on the road side and does not bother us.

We recently spent a week here. The sites are very large & level, that was really nice. The sunsets were awesome over the mountain. But was very disappointed in the condition the park was in. The grass & tress are dead, the bathrooms were filthy, no hand soap or paper towels. The park did not look like the pictures on their website. It was very hot, no shade, thankfully for awnings & pop up awnings to shade the dogs.
You didn't see anyone out & about unless they brought the dogs out to go to the bathroom. Then right back in their trailers.
Was not like any campground we have stayed at. Andy was nice & helpful with a scheduling problem with our friends & made it right with them. We like the location since it was close to Glacier, but will not stay here again unless things change.

Honestly the rv park is the worst one we’ve stayed in all year. We’ve been to 23 parks this year. There’s absolutely no shade. It’s very windy. It’s extremely dusty due to construction right next to the park. The Wi-Fi is terrible do not rely on their Wi-Fi. And to top it off, our dog got attacked twice in the same day. Or dog has been on leash the entire time for some reason people just let their dogs roam, and they are not friendly… we will absolutely never stay here again and I do not recommend to anyone! PLEASE BEWARE OF THE EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE GERMAN SHEPARD AND BAD OWNERS IN THE LOW 20’s sites they are permanent so you will come across the aggressive dog!

Wow! The best RV park we have stayed at in Montana! Andy does an excellent job in keeping the park up to date. Really appreciated the free Wi-Fi, free fire wood, and free laundry! Hiking trails behind the park were awesome for daily walks with the dogs. Excellent Montana RV Park! Thanks Andy. Keith and Diane

For the price, I expected more, but the lots were a nice size, pavement was nice but bathrooms were atrocious,

I agree with Toni Wall. The only thing I can add is the fumes come up from drain pipeline in the laundry rooms. Bad gas smells. Complained and nothing was done about it.

Zero stars for this owner/manager/property. Office signage poorly displayed, we passed it, asked another camper where office located, turned around pulled up and first words out of Andy’s mouth was not Hi, welcome, glad your here, etc.he said to us, “offices at RV parks are always first building on right side as pulling in, everywhere across the country”. I asked for a Good Sam, AAA or any kind of discount he tried to say the $89/night had a discount already applied which was the rate stated on website. I inquired about extending our stay by 2 days he told me the site we would have to move to is a $145/night rate. When I questioned him he said to me, “I would rather not rent the space to people like you who try to take advantage of a situation”. Laundry facility has an odor from pea-trap so bad that I would be shocked if a public health inspection wouldn’t shut him down. When I propped door open to help air out odor, he kept removing the door prop. Don’t be fooled by photos of green grass in the park because it’s totally yellow dead grass, hasn’t seen water since last rain. Not sure what made this chump Andy Matthews think he should own/manage an RV park but he’s clearly in the wrong business. Don’t stay here! Zero stars!

This seemed like such a nice place when we pulled in. Roomy spots, great views, and it felt safe. At $100 per night, it should, right? Unfortunately, it seems the owner has plans to milk all the money he can out of this park and put nothing back. There was 1 washer and 1 dryer for 61 sites. True, the laundry was free, if you could ever find the machines available. There was 1 combo bathroom and shower. No soap, no paper towels, no toilet paper. And extremely filthy, like one of those bathrooms in a mechanics shop that only the workers use and no one ever cleans. They are letting the trees die, the lawn gets water for about 3 minutes a day, it's fading fast. Such a sad way to treat an RV park with such potential. I'd go elsewhere.

$100 per night, the bathrooms should be cleaned and stocked. They were filthy. At the minimum, an RV park at this price point should be able to afford to clean it's bathrooms. Would NOT recommend.

Good: very clean and nicely organized
Beautiful big sky views
Quiet
Nice paved and level lots big enough for the big rigs
Close to town
Bad: overpriced 89 is too much for this place. Don’t pay the extra 10 for the west side, the view is the same
The bathrooms were locked and never received instructions on how to unlock them
There’s no on-site management
No explanation about firewood

I won’t be back

Randomly closed the showers and laundry rooms one day without warning. Pipes repeatedly freeze. Owner is out of state and even though stating “call or text me anytime, I’m available 24/7” he would take several days to a week to get back to you. Internet speeds are a fraction of what’s advertised. Has an BS excuse about everything. Trash fills up quickly and over flows. Beautiful setting, great space. Not worth it due to the lack of customer service from the owner. And the entrance is a joke, WAY to tight.

Great place to stay. The location was perfect for a base to go out and do different activities. The site was so clean and level! The field connected to the campground was great for our dogs and a evening walk. Also the host Andy was so great and friendly!
