What is check out time for the lower lake Como campground?
Hi Christine,
Check out is usually around 11am, but camp host may let you slide till 12pm or a bit later.
What does it look like for availability for one night June 1st for an RV & Towing my husband is also handicapped so we could take the Ada site
Hi Joan,
Lake Como campground is first-come, first-serve so it’s difficult to say for sure what the availability will be. However, on June 1 (midweek), chances are very good there will be a number of available campsites.
Hi, I have a question.
What are the fees these days to stay at this campsite with an RV ?
Thank you ♥
Hi Melisa,
Lake Como Campground fees are $25 per night per campsite (water/electricity included). Fee includes 1 day use exempt pass to be obtained from the camp host. Passes must be displayed in vehicle when accessing other parts of the recreation area.

We are planning a trip to Montana in September and trying to figure out if we can stay at Como. Can you tell me if there is a possibility to have a site in the lower campground? I realize first come but how busy in September is the area?
Hi Stacy,
Lake Como (Lower) Campground does close late September and (unfortunately) I’m not sure how popular it is during the month of September. I’d say your chances are pretty good if you can shoot for a mid-week arrival. Best of luck!
