Montpelier Creek KOA Journey

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 water or relax in the heated pool. Your dog will love the fenced-in dog park and a walk along the nature trail. Stay in a tepee with modern conveniences, a Cabin on the creek or one of the Deluxe Cabins. The National Oregon / California Trail Center provides an eye-opening look at the pioneer experience, including a computer-simulated covered-wagon ride. Adventure today leans toward ATV trails, boating in Bear Lake and hiking along the Highline Trail or Limber Pine Trail (which leads to a 2,000-year-old limber pine). Also nearby, scour the skies for white-faced ibis and redhead ducks at Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge or head underground to marvel at the nine rooms of Minnetonka Cave.
