Anglers and paddlers will find Barretts Station Park Campground positioned directly alongside the river, with boat-in access making it a workable stop for those moving by water through southwestern Montana. The dispersed layout spreads roughly nine picnic tables across a grassy area, with a couple of back-in spots sized for smaller RVs. Bugs are a consistent presence, particularly mosquitoes, so repellent is worth packing regardless of season.
Noise is the most notable trade-off here. The campground sits close to the interstate, with railroad tracks running between the sites and the highway, and multiple reviewers note road noise through the night. That said, the site itself has earned consistent praise for cleanliness. "Super clean and large campsite with a few fire rings and an outhouse," notes Tristan S., and other visitors echo that the vault toilets near the parking area are well-maintained. A hand pump well is on-site, though it was reported out of service during at least one visit. A gas station less than a mile away gives quick access to supplies.
A day-use area with an additional restroom and hand pump sits across a nearby bridge. Cell service is available. For campers who want a more developed overnight setup in the region, Countryside RV Park provides a full-hookup alternative a few miles northeast, and those planning a longer stay can browse camping near Dillon for additional options across the area.
