This award-winning, peaceful KOA lies along the Oregon Trail, halfway between Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park. Settle back in a tree-shaded site, lulled by the trickle of the creek that runs through the campground. Drop a lure into the creek (fishing license required) or relax in the heated pool. Your dog will love the fenced-in dog park and a walk along the nature trail. No RV or tent? Stay in a tepee with modern conveniences or a Cabin by the creek. Or go "camping" in a Deluxe Cabin with a full bath/linen service. The National Oregon/California Trail Center provides an amazing look at the pioneer experience, including a computer-simulated covered-wagon ride. For adventure today, you can explore ATV trails, enjoy water sports at Bear Lake, bird-watch at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge or head underground to Minnetonka Cave. Please call for campground's early opening dates. Pool: Memorial Weekend Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 120 feet. Your hosts: Jim and Brenda Reno.

We stayed in our pop up camper. We had easy access to the very clean restrooms and showers. The whole camp ground is very clean despite them doing construction. They were courteous of noise during construction and though certain areas were down the playground was set up for all ages. They even put up a bouncy castle for the children to enjoy! The staff was very friendly and answered any questions we had.
The lady at the counter named Lori went above and beyond her work duties. Every time I saw her she was working her her butt off. She helped us tremendously when a really bad rain storm came to us. She deserves a 5 star. The camp site was so clean. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Lori for all your hard work.
This is a small park, which is refreshing. It's well kept and appears to have lots of upgrades.
Location is ideal if you like to fish, hike, off road. And it's really quiet and dark at night. Seeing the Milky Way is stunning.
Super family friendly.
Big rig friendly.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Montpelier KOA. The staff was exceptional. They went above and beyond at any available opportunity. They gave all the kids a coloring book and crayons which was a nice touch.
The location was absolutely beautiful. It was a little outside town and was so peaceful. The creek that ran through the property was beautiful and they had plenty of benches located along the creek to sit down and enjoy the quiet. The playground was great and the kids loved it. The sports court was fun as well. The pool wasn't quite done when we stayed but it looks very nice.
The cleanliness of the campground was great. I don't think it could have been any cleaner and the camp store was well stocked. We stayed in a RV site and it was perfect. It was a great size and very nicely laid out. It had a fire ring and a nice large picnic table in each site.
I would highly recommend Montpelier KOA to anyone. For us it was a great escape from the craziness of Garden City but still close enough to enjoy Bear Lake.
After almost 2 months on the road, of which most was boondocking or staying at government campgrounds, we decided to stay one night at Montpelier Creek KOA so we could plug in, water up, shower, and have a relaxing night before continuing our journey home. Having much experience in taking care of public campgrounds, I was quite impressed with the staff, the facilities, and the setting of this site. I must say that everything was extremely well maintained and clean! Highly recommended.
