About

State Park

Welcome to Black Sandy State Park Campground, nestled near Helena, MT. This spot is a favorite among campers for its stunning lakeside views and year-round availability. Every campsite here is right on the water, making it perfect for those who love to fish, boat, or just relax by the lake.

The campground offers electric hookups at all sites, but you'll need to bring your own water or fill up at the dump station near the entrance. There are no sewer hookups, so plan accordingly. The sites are pretty close together, which can be a bit tight for larger rigs, but the beautiful scenery more than makes up for it.

For those who enjoy boating, there's a convenient boat launch and you can even rent a boat slip if you want to keep your vessel in the water during your stay. The campground also has a small store with basic supplies, so you won't have to venture far for essentials.

While the main bathhouse closes for the winter, there are pit toilets available year-round. Cell service is spotty at best, so it's a great place to disconnect and enjoy nature. If you need to stay connected, some campers have had success with satellite internet setups.

The road leading into the campground can be a bit rough, so take it slow, especially if you're towing. Once you're here, you'll find plenty of opportunities to relax, whether it's by the water, on a boat, or just soaking in the mountain views.

So, pack your sunscreen, keep an eye out for snakes on the trails, and get ready to enjoy a peaceful stay at Black Sandy State Park Campground.
