Camping near Hot Springs, Montana
Hot Springs sits in northwest Montana's Flathead Indian Reservation, a small town known for its natural mineral waters. The town is roughly 30 minutes from Flathead Lake and less than two hours from Glacier National Park, which puts RV travelers within reach of both a soak-in-town base and the region's biggest lake and mountain attractions.
Campground options range from small in-town RV parks to full-service state park units on Flathead Lake. Still Waters Mineral Springs RV Park sits inside town within walking distance of the local bathhouses. To the east, Big Arm State Park and Big Arm Resort put RVers on the shoreline of Flathead Lake. Lake Mary Ronan State Park Campground and Lake Mary Ronan Lodge Campground offer a quieter, forested alternative a short drive northwest of the lake.
Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western United States, twenty-eight miles long and 15 miles wide, so most trips split time between mineral soaking in Hot Springs and water-based recreation on the lake.
Things to do near Hot Springs
The town's mineral pools and public bathhouses are the main in-town draw, and several campgrounds sit within walking distance of them. Away from the soaking pools, most trips center on Flathead Lake, about 30 minutes east.
At Big Arm State Park, the park is a popular jump-off point to Wild Horse Island, with a long pebble beach popular with sunbathers and swimmers, camping under mature ponderosa pine and juniper, and activities including fishing for lake trout, boating, swimming, picnicking, bicycling, hiking the 2.5 mile trail, wildlife viewing, scuba diving, and water-skiing. Wild Horse Island is a 2,163 acre wilderness area on the west shore of the lake.
Lake Mary Ronan is a quieter option. It is an angler's delight with kokanee salmon, yellow perch and large mouth bass, and campers pitch off the beaten path shaded by Douglas Fir and Western Larch. Nearby national forest land adds hiking, biking and wildlife viewing to the mix.

The main camping season in the Flathead area runs late spring through early fall. Big Arm Campground is open seasonally April through October, and the Lake Mary Ronan campground opens on May 1st and remains available until November 30th, with electricity accessible through October. Shoulder-season trips in May and September usually see lighter crowds and cooler nights.
Summer is the peak window. July and August are the driest and warmest months, and sites at Big Arm often sell out on weekends. Reservable state park sites should be booked as early as the window allows. Wildfire smoke can drift through the valley in late summer, so travelers should check current fire restrictions before arrival.
Winter is a different trip. Temperatures often sit below freezing for extended periods, snow accumulates in the mountains, and many state park services close or run at reduced capacity. Lake Mary Ronan sees ice fishing and snowshoeing use after the campground closes.
How to book campgrounds near Hot Springs
Montana State Parks handles reservations through ReserveAmerica. Sites are reservable from the third Friday in May through the third Sunday in September, with reservations accepted up to three months in advance of the stay and no later than one day prior to arrival, and a maximum stay of seven nights per site. For more information about camping or specific campsites, visit montanastateparks.reserveamerica.com or call 855-922-6768. At Lake Mary Ronan State Park, eighteen of the 25 sites are reservable and the rest are first-come, first-serve.
Private parks such as Still Waters Mineral Springs RV Park, Big Arm Resort and Lake Mary Ronan Lodge Campground take direct bookings by phone or through their own websites. RV renters should confirm rig length limits before reserving: RV/trailer size is limited to 30 feet in the 41 site campground at Big Arm, while some private parks accommodate larger rigs.
Nonresidents typically pay a day-use entrance fee on top of the site fee at Montana state parks.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a mix of open shoreline sites on Flathead Lake and shaded forest sites at Lake Mary Ronan. Big Arm State Park has both flush and vault toilets, tent/RV sites, bear-resistant storage lockers, boat trailer parking, sheltered picnic tables, drinking water, grills/fire rings, firewood, picnic tables, trash cans, and coin-operated showers, with RV/trailer size limited to 30 feet in the 41 site campground. Yurts are also available at the park.
Lake Mary Ronan is more rustic. The park lacks an RV dump station, and amenities include potable drinking water, vault toilets and trash collection. Plan on filling fresh water on the way in and dumping elsewhere.
Bear-country food storage rules apply. Campers must store all attractants, day or night, in a closed, hard sided container or vehicle when not in immediate use. Campers may stay only 14 days during a 30 day period, and a joint state/tribal fishing license is needed for fishing at Big Arm.
