Finley Point State Park

Finley Point State Park is a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks campground on the southeast shore of Flathead Lake, 12 miles north of Polson. Among the five state park units on the lake it has the clearest camping-and-marina mix: 18 electric RV sites including one accessible site, 7 tent-only sites, 2 cabins, 4 electric camping boat slips and 14 more slips. Our Flathead Lake guide names it the first state park to check when an electric hookup and boat access are both non-negotiable. It suits RVers under 40 feet who want to plug in beside the lake and launch from camp.

Why RVers stay here

Finley Point State Park is a Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks campground on the southeast shore of Flathead Lake, 12 miles north of Polson.

Practically, electricity does not mean full hookups: there is no water or sewer at the site, and no state park unit on Flathead Lake offers either, so plan a service stop in Polson or Kalispell. The published RV limit is 40 feet, but the individual driveway record controls. Fees run $4 to $34 a night depending on site, season, residency and pass treatment, booked through the Montana State Parks reservation system, which currently shows a rolling three-month window. July and August are warmest and busiest. One trade-off: the park lies within the Flathead Reservation, so fishing the southern half of the lake requires a tribal license.

  • One of only two Flathead Lake state park units with electric RV sites
  • Marina access with camping boat slips, so you can launch and moor from camp
  • State fees of $4 to $34 a night rather than private-resort pricing
  • Two cabins and tent sites for mixed groups
  • !Electric only: no water or sewer at the site, and dump and fill stops are not consistently published
  • !40-foot published maximum, but individual driveways can be shorter
  • !Fishing the southern half of Flathead Lake requires a tribal license; seasonal amenities such as showers should be verified

Our verdict

Book Finley Point if you want an electric site and marina access on Flathead Lake in a rig under 40 feet. Skip it if you need water and sewer at the pad, and compare a private full-hookup park in Polson instead.
