After we sold our home in April, we moved into our Montana and are currently living at the Dillon KOA campground in Dillon, Montana. We couldn't be happier with the park or the management. If you want lots of details, e-mail or PM me and I'll send you the review I wrote for a travel site. But in a nutshell . . .

The park is an older KOA campground, bought 2 years ago by Bob and Pam Meyerson. The Meyersons have worked hard to get the grounds in excellent shape, and the campground bathrooms/showers, although older ones, are spotlessly clean and functioning at all times. The pool is now being redone and will be ready to go when it's warm enough to go swimming (Memorial Day weekend--snow this morning). The campground setting is beautiful: trees, grass, flowers, mountains in view--this place is great. The park is also very pet-friendly, which is nice since we have two Australian shepherds and a cat. There are lots of wide open places to let the animals run and play. We've noticed that 99.5% of the campers pick up after their animals, too, a real plus for the campground.

Most campsites have lots of trees; all have gravel pads and grass. There are pull-through sites long enough for Class A's with trailers attached, for 5th-wheels and trucks and maybe a boat, and sites of all other sizes as well. The Beaverhead River, a certified Blue Ribbon trout stream, borders some of the campsites. From anywhere in the park, you are less than a minute from the river. Right now, lots of nice browns are being caught on lures, flies, and bait.

Here's an example of the "above and beyond" management the Meyersons provide: The fourth night we were here, Wayne had to have emergency surgery; he can't life anything heavier than 5 pounds for another month. When Bob learned about the surgery, he told us that until Wayne recovered, he would be picking up our empty propane tanks, filling them, and putting them back into their compartments for us. And--service with a smile, always!

We'll be leaving for the 7 Feathers rally on June 3rd, but before and after that we'll be in Site #2 at the park when we're not on the road. Stop by and introduce yourselves if you're in the area. We'd love to meet fellow MOCers.
