About

State Park

Lewis and Clark National Forest

Missouri Headwaters State Park Campground, nestled near Three Forks, MT, is a solid spot for those looking to experience the beauty of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. This campground is open year-round and offers a mix of tent and RV accommodations. It's a convenient stopover, especially if you're passing through on the freeway.

The campground is known for its picturesque surroundings, with nature walks and a paved bike path that take you down to the river. While it's not right on the river, the nearby marshlands add a unique charm to the area. Just be prepared for mosquitoes, especially in the warmer months. Bug spray is a must!

Amenities here are pretty basic. You'll find a well-maintained pit toilet and a drinking water station, but don't expect any electric, water, or sewer hookups. Firewood is available for sale, and pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. The sites are reservable online, which is a plus if you want to secure your spot ahead of time.

Some campers have mentioned that the sites can be a bit small and lacking in privacy, but the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the campground make up for it. There's even live music on weekends, adding a nice touch to your stay.

If you're into fishing, the nearby river offers some good opportunities. And for those who enjoy a bit of reading, there's a little free library on-site. Just keep in mind that cell service can be spotty, so it might be a good chance to unplug and enjoy the natural beauty around you.

In summary, Missouri Headwaters State Park Campground is a decent choice for a night or two, especially if you're looking for a simple, nature-filled camping experience without too many frills.
