I was a bit skeptical of returning to this campground under the new owners and the many bad reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. We had been here 3 yrs earlier and enjoyed our stay under the previous owners and were looking for a place to rejoin our 3 famlies to make repeat memories with our kids who are now... More

We stayed here for three nights with electricity and water. The campground is located in a narrow sheltered valley next to a beautiful creek. The sites are well treed and spacious. Carol was very helpful in helping us find the right campsite for us. We were using this as a sleeping destination and it was quiet and peaceful except for... More

We tent camped two nights at Ft. Ponderosa, and loved every minute of it! The sites are big and grassy with plenty of large shade trees, and Bret and Carol keep the property manicured and clean. Their rates are super affordable (about 1/2 the price of the KOA is Great Falls), and the amenities they provide were exactly what we... More

We camped here for seven days in the month of July 2012 and we had an amazing experience with Bret and Carol. They welcomed us giving us a thorough tour of the whole campground and amenities and were more than helpful throughout our whole stay. Our site was treed and had ample room with our trailer and tent. The showers,... More

We were exceptionally pleased with our two day stay at the Fort Ponderosa. As repeat campers to this lovely little park, we were pleasantly surprised by the great condition of the campground. Obviously the new owners have done alot of hard work to polish and improve it. We felt very welcome and comfortable while here. Any poor reviews that were... More

I was astonished to read any poor reviews about Fort Ponderosa after experiencing one of the best fourth of July camping trips ever. Carol and Bret we not only friendly and helpful, but I feel they went the extra mile to ensure our stay was pleasant in every way. A very nice and clean park with the best rates in... More

A wonderful little RV Park, 20 miles east of Great Falls. Prices are very reasonable - half of the rates charged by KOA in Great Falls. The sites are tree'd, quiet and relatively flat. The owers/managers Carol and Brent consistently went the extra mile to ensure our stay (3 days) was pleasant and enjoyable. Clean wash rooms, showers and laundry... More

Our stay has been for 6 weeks with NO problems. We've enjoyed the cleanliness, charming atmosphere, fare pricing, and fun and friendly hosts. Brett and Carol (owners/managers) have worked very hard in bringing this park back from it's past neglect, which they have done a fine job in doing so. They run a tight operation with rules and standards. For... More

Although I am from Great Falls, only 20 miles away, I took my daughter to the park to check things out for future possibilities. After we took a ride around the loop, as we were on our way to the exit, the owner ran to my car, so I stopped and she proceeded to chastise me that I needed to... More

We were in the middle of a huge wind storm. Anyone from this area knows how the wind can blow. The wind was blowing so hard that we had branches breaking all over. This person drove they're daughter through the park at the worst possible time and was driving to fast. We have a huge stop sign here that ask... More
