We loved our one night at this campsite. We were one of the only sites doing tent camping, and most others had RVs, but the site was still peaceful. My only complaint was the mosquitoes! Three weeks on the road with no bites but left this campground with quite a few. Hope to be back :)

Very clean campsites and toilets and plenty of space between campsites. Everyone was really kind a respectful. Awesome place for our young family to do our first camping trip with my son.

Nice, clean, roomy campsite. Boat ramp a bit rough but good. Beautiful scenery and the lake was great for fishing.

Nice level camp spot with easy to enter exit for sure. Quiet area with plenty of shade trees... Montanans are great people, helpful, friendly, and respectful of others. Great place to relax and stay at. Fishing is good too!

14 years of camping and we always look forward to another year!! Don't miss the shops in Phillipsburg! Great unique gifts and edible goodies to enjoy! Also, a stop by the museum provides a delightful look at the past of this historic town. Plan for changeable weather! Layer, layer, and don't forget sunscreen and a heavier blanket. Wear shorts? Brind them! We always find out Little Buddy propane heater a great friend for cool mornings and evenings.Dog owner? Look at Rainbow Bay for a canine swim and exploratory run. Be aware of fisher folks on the banks and near shore. Dogs can disrupt a fine fishing afternoon.

We love this campround and come at least once a year. The paved, level sites are always appreciated. It's usually quiet and a peaceful place to relax.

We really enjoyed our stay here for 4days. Very quiet. Very clean on site toilets. Nice close by boat ramp. Camping in the shade was enjoyable. We will be back next year.

Very nice campground and sites and the whole campground was well cared for. Vault toilets were cleaned daily and had hand sanitizer in them. Great area to explore. Saw a couple of deer walking thru camp one morning early.
@SalleeN5826247 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #44
Wonderful campground - toilets were immaculate, as were the campsites.
@LucyG7AA0CCD61 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025
Nicely wooded, very clean, sites are a bit closer together than we like but the trees help create a little visual separation though not sound.
@HeidiH1774228 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #68
We have camped at Philipsburg Campground for years and it is always wonderful. The sites are big and paved. We enjoyed having electricity at one of the few sites they now have. Bathrooms are nice and clean.
@RichardL555896 · Camped on Jun 8, 2025
Excellent
@jessiePBBF491E · Camped on Jun 7, 2025 at Campsite #48
Campground was quiet and clean. Nice wooded area just off the lake provides shade but not significant privacy from other sites. There was an absolute cacophony of birds one evening, which was fun to listen to as we fell asleep.
@ChuckD2392072 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025
Wonderful campground, birds at night were crazy
@BrianO3978027 · Camped on Jun 3, 2025 at Campsite #59
Great campground. Very well kept and very friendly camp hosts. We try to stay at this campground at least one time per year.
@TrishaSB4AFB07 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #53
Excellent campground. Clean vault toilets and large campsites.

It was a pleasant place to stay.
@DeanD2479372 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #44
Campground hosts were very helpful and really wanted us to have a great experience. The camp was very well maintained and always clean...we really enjoyed our experience and will be back next year!

Love campground ! Camp host peggy and Debbie do a fantastic job. Tim has done a great job as well. Boat launch needs to have a designated area for paddle boards canoes and non motorized water craft so boats can tie up. Because my boat got bad scratches by a aluminum canoe. This is getting to be a big problem and would hope somebody would fix it.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
