Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group sites and cabins as early as possible—popular locations like Savenac Bunkhouse and Thompson Peak Lookout Tower book solid within hours of becoming available six months in advance on Recreation.gov.
  • 2Assign specific responsibilities before your trip: designate a meal coordinator, gear manager, and activity planner to ensure smooth group logistics.
  • 3For cabin stays, create a shared packing list to avoid duplicate items and ensure essential gear like lanterns, cookware, and first aid supplies are covered.
  • 4Montana weather can change rapidly in the mountains, so every group member should pack layers including warm fleece or down jackets even for summer trips.

Group Campgrounds in Montana FAQ

Our ranked list for Montana covers 25 group-friendly campgrounds, led by Larry Creek Group Camp, Savenac Bunkhouse, and East Fork Cabin. Each was selected for genuine group capacity - room for multiple tents or RVs with shared amenities like group fire rings and shelters - and ranked using verified camper reviews.

Most individual sites here open 6 months ahead on a rolling basis, but dedicated group sites on Recreation.gov open a full 12 months out - so for a summer weekend in Montana, the group sites worth having are often claimed nearly a year in advance. Set a free Outdoorithm availability alert to catch cancellations at a booked-out group site.

Group sites in Montana typically accommodate 10-50 people, and some large-group areas hold 75 or more. Capacity and vehicle limits vary by campground, so check each site's listed maximum before you book.

Almost always. Group sites are scarce - a campground with a hundred individual sites may have only one or two group areas - and they are claimed first for summer weekends and holidays. Book as soon as your dates firm up, and use an availability alert as the fallback when your first choice is taken.
