First off the park is beautiful and nice to look at. However, I witnessed some things that would…read moreensure I will never come back. They have a dog on leash policy, which is posted everywhere. On my morning walk I witnessed a gentleman two campsites down walking his dog off a leash down by the boat Storage. The Park host asked him to put the dog up and he did so immediately. While the Park host continued walking her dog around the park, she witnessed somebody else three campsites down from him, exercising his hunting dogs down by the river. She yelled at this older gentleman to lock his dogs up, but I would say it was safe to assume he couldn't hear. The Park host then walked her dog all the way into somebody else's campsite where they had their dog leashed and tied to the fire pit. After a few seconds, the park host little dog snapped at the other dog chained to the fire pit and they got into a fight. Nobody was injured, but the Park host was definitely in the wrong. She screamed at my girlfriend and I while all this was going on and we were five campsites away doing nothing. While this is happening the gentleman three campsites down was putting his dogs in the trailer and the lady screamed at him as well. After everything was said and done the gentleman with the two hunting dogs who had nothing to do with any altercation whatsoever was kicked out of the park that day for something he had nothing to do with. Because the Park host demanded an apology from him for something he had nothing to do with. The lady that owned the other dog involved in the altercation went and told the Park host it had nothing to do with the other gentleman, but because he hurt the Park hose feeling by not apologizing for something he didn't do he was kicked out. This was not fair or just. It has nothing to do with me, but I watched the entire scenario unfold and the park host as well as the park Owner were completely in the wrong!

We absolutely loved staying at The RV Landing at Carlson Ranch. The Staff was so knowledgable, from…read morethe moment we got there we were greeted with a smile from Tracey on a Holiday week. The RV sites were clean, large, paved with rocks, picnic tables and a fire pit. Everything was in excellent condition. The full hook-ups were amazing! The RV sites are on the river with a perfect view of the mountains, and ranch views of cows and animals. We were able to catch steelhead fish on the river bank. The Landing has a wonderful playground which my kids fully enjoyed around the clock. The restrooms, were fully stocked and cleaned multiple times a day. Along with a great location the Wi-Fi was amazing, we were able to watch college football! We had family with us renting a tiny cabin, which was the perfect size for a family of 4! They are fully equipped with a kitchenette, loft and bunk bed and heated to perfection in November! I would give this place 5 stars! If you don't believe me, come check it out yourself and tell them I sent you.

A lot of the RV's look to be full time tenants but it's very clean and quiet. The bathrooms are spotless and probably the nicest ones I've experienced in an RV park. Showers are big, great hot water and big bathroom area with a blow dryer. Attached is a 3 washer and dryer laundry room with reasonable prices. Couldn't ask for a better place. Full hook ups with cable TV. Gravel sites with a picnic table. Highly recommend this place!!

Beautiful setting! Reasonably rates and nice facilities…read more Large showers and a well kept laundry room. The river sites (80%) are relaxing and serene. Be prepared are it is a very and narrow park, but well done. This is one of the best parks we have ever stayed at during our travels.

And it is a test on the engine and brakes - you go up up up up and then down down down down on the approach to this park.

We launched our kayaks and enjoyed the water in the nearly 100 degree temps!

The trails are great, the staff is awesome, the reservoir is amazing! The deer are so tame, we had them in our camp every day. Even with so many of us, the staff was super helpful and always took the time to answer our questions. We also did some geo caching, which is fun for the kids and grandparents, too. Kind of wished there was a place for WiFi service. It is camping, so you don't really want it everywhere, but one hotspot so you can adjust reservations would be helpful. But the staff were so amazing, one of them actually worked for the core of engineers, and was so helpful and informative, he was really interesting, and went above and beyond to help all of us have the very best time we could have. Thanks guts, this will be an annual family camping trip!

This RV site is situated right next to US-93 and the Bitterroot river. There is some traffic noise,…read morebut it's not intrusive, and dies down at night. There are two kinds of spots, those with full hookups and those with water and power only. The ones without sewer are down by the river amongst the trees and this is where we stayed, right next to the river. Very relaxing. The site is nicely landscaped and maintained, with plenty of grass and trees dotted around. There is a slipway if you have a small boat. The river can also be fished and the on site general store sells all kinds of fishing gear, as well as many other things, including locally sourced preserves and honey. I bought a jar of the organic salsa and it was so good that I ate it all in one sitting. The store also sells souvenir items and alcoholic beverages, including local Montana brews - so I had to try some - very good! They also sell propane. The staff in the store are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. There is a 'restroom, shower and laundry' block on site - I didn't use the laundry, but the showers are nice, you are provided a code to get in. There are also poop bags provided and doggy waste collection container. The rear area of the site by the river is behind a lift up barrier and you are provided a card to operate this to get in, it automatically lets you out. There are nice views of mountains in the distance and a cycle path all the way to Missoula if you want to go that far... We've certainly enjoyed our stay here so far and would recommend it to anyone.

ALL REVIEWS BEFORE 2021 ARE INVALID! THATS WHEN THE NEW OWNERS TOOK OVER!…read more This is the 6th or 7th time we've stayed here since 2021. I want to tell you what happened to us last night. At about 9:30 PM, I was sitting in my RV when I looked outside and walking up the road, about 20' from us was a HUGE Bull Moose! It stood at least 6' at the shoulder and had the largest rack I have ever seen! From ground to the tip of the rack he was easily at least 10'! I'd say between 600-800 lbs! He casually walked through the camp like he owned the place, walked to the fence and leaped over to the neighbors property. He was BEAUTIFUL! You won't see that in Seattle, Portland, New York, or even Missoula!

It's not that far out of town from Missoula and has a decent size parking lot. There's also a few trails that you can take one being the Canyon Creek Trail, and the other being the Blodgett Canyon. We went with Blodgett Canyon. This trail is approximately a 3 mile hike up to the top where it is spectacularly beautiful! The hike itself is not that difficult although there are a few steeper parts. The view along the way is spectacular, so we didn't hike very fast...once we got to the top we hung out for about half an hour just looking at all the amazing beauty surrounding us. We were also there on a day when it looked like someone had gotten engaged at the top as we found a trail of rose petals, and a heart of rose petals at the top. I say kudos to whichever guy planned this!!! It was so cute and such a beautiful backdrop for an engagement!

What a beautiful hike and way to spend some time enjoying nature!…read more For the overlook trail, you are mostly going up hill the whole time so be prepared for a bit of an incline. The trail has a lot of trees so a good portion of it is shaded, but parts are still in the sun. Depending on the time you come, this trail gets pretty busy so be prepared for that. There is a nice opening spot up top so you can hangout and enjoy the views. I recommend packing a lunch or little picnic to enjoy up there before heading back down.
