Campgrounds and RV parks near Churchill, MT

Churchill is a small unincorporated community in Gallatin County, Montana, sitting in the Gallatin Valley roughly a half-hour drive west of Bozeman and its airport. It lies south of Interstate 90 and within easy reach of Three Forks, making it a quiet base between Bozeman, the Missouri Headwaters area, and the north end of Yellowstone country. The surrounding landscape is agricultural, with views of the Horseshoe Hills to the north, the Bridger Mountains to the northeast, the Gallatin Range to the southeast, the Spanish Peaks of the Madison Range to the south, and the Tobacco Root Mountains to the west. That open valley setting gives most campgrounds long mountain views without the tight canyon feel of parks closer to Big Sky. Close-in options include Bozeman Hot Springs Campground and RV Park in the Four Corners area, Missouri Headwaters State Park near Three Forks, Gallatin County Fairgrounds in Bozeman, Three Forks Market RV Park, and The Inn on the Gallatin. Together they cover full-hookup resort camping, rustic state park sites, and simple in-town RV parking.

Missouri Headwaters State Park takes reservations through Reserve America, the booking portal used by Montana State Parks. Reservations must be made at least one day ahead of arrival and can be made up to six months in advance. The park is popular in summer, so booking as early as the window opens is the safest approach; last-minute travelers can watch for cancellations or try the walk-in sites. Bozeman Hot Springs Campground and RV Park and Three Forks Market RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites and phone lines. Gallatin County Fairgrounds sells overnight RV parking when it is not hosting events, and The Inn on the Gallatin handles bookings on-site. Out-of-state visitors should plan for a Montana state parks vehicle entrance fee, and any watercraft entering Montana must be inspected before launching, with boaters required to stop at all inspection stations.
