A camper van adventure in Montana is what traveling the American West is all about. The vast, unspoiled landscape just waiting to be explored gives new meaning to the phrase “wide, open spaces" and makes it an ideal place for a camper van rental.
Montana offers endless opportunities to explore its stunning scenery, wildlife, rich cultural heritage, and small-town charm. Montana is the home of Glacier National Park to the north and Yellowstone to the south—the perfect places to explore the Big Sky state in a camper van rental. Montana is full of endless natural wonders. One of Montana’s many claims to fame is that it has more resident wildlife than people. A population of only one million in a land area of about 150,000 square miles means Montana has a whole lot of outdoors to be explored. 55 state parks, 15 wilderness areas, and numerous national and state forests crate the perfect backdrop for your Montana camper van adventure. Situated in Northwest Montana, Glacier National Park is nicknamed "the Crown of the Continent." Peaks and valleys formed by glaciers as well as deep, crystal clear lakes (like Lake McDonald and St. Mary Lake) can be seen by traveling the park’s winding roads and are well worth the visit. Glacier NP is both an International Dark Sky Park and an International Peace Park, sharing the longest undefended national border in the world with its neighbor Canada. With 13 front country campgrounds and dozens of places to backcountry camp, you’re sure to get your fill of fresh air and tranquility here. Winter activities in Montana can be as adventurous as you like. If you like to play in the snow you’ll find some of the best skiing available at 15 ski areas, including Whitefish Mountain Resort near Glacier National Park, and Big Sky Resort near Yellowstone. Beyond the slopes, winter visitors can also enjoy dog sledding, snowshoeing, snowmobile tours, and expeditions to the national parks. Traverse Montana’s scenic roads by camper van and visit charming and historic towns along your route. The Beartooth Highway extends from the small mountain town of Red Lodge south into Yellowstone National Park. The scenic road is a spectacular drive with views of glaciers, high alpine lakes, forests and tundra. This massive state has miles of adventures just waiting for your and your camper van to experience.
