What you can actually book
Of the 2 facilities in Helena, one offers indoor space and both list outdoor spots. Lake Helena Storage is the larger operation with 24 reviews and a 5.0 rating, and its listing covers indoor, outdoor, boat, trailer and vehicle types. That kind of range means a trailer can sit inside or out depending on the season and your budget. 46th Parallel Parking and Outdoor Storage is the smaller one with 3 reviews, again 5.0, and outdoor only. The indoor slot matters in Montana. Sun fades gel coat and cooks tires over time, but winter is the harder problem, so an enclosed bay keeps snow load and freeze-thaw off the roof and seams. Outdoor is fine too if the rig is winterized and you check on it.
Access and security
Both Helena facilities list 24/7 gate access, which is a real convenience if you head out early or roll back in after dark. Both also list cameras. If you are hauling a boat or a flatbed, ask about the pull-through setup at Lake Helena Storage before you commit, since backing a long trailer into a tight spot is nobody's idea of a good afternoon. Confirm gate hours and any code changes in writing when you sign. Also check what your tow vehicle insurance and the facility's coverage say about stored trailers, because policies differ on whether a trailer is covered while parked off your property. A quick call beats a surprise later.
Getting your rig ready
Helena gets cold, and a trailer left outdoors takes the brunt of it. Drain water lines and tanks before the first hard freeze, and pull the battery to keep it on a maintainer through winter. Snow sitting on a flat roof is worth clearing after a heavy storm. Before you drop the trailer, walk the pad and look for drainage, because meltwater pooling under tires is hard on them. Take photos of the rig and the spot on move-in day. Nearby options give you a few more choices if the two in town fill up, though the extra drive is worth weighing against waiting for a space.
