Lake Billings RV Park & Campground

Swimming and fishing opportunities draw campers to Lake Billings RV Park & Campground, a municipal facility operating from mid-April through mid-October in Manton. The campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus provides tent sites, though tent campers should note the lack of electrical outlets at these spots.

Sites vary considerably in condition, with some featuring challenging terrain due to large tree roots that can complicate setup and walking around the camping area. Reviewers mention that some campers relocate to different sites when conditions prove difficult. The facility maintains clean restrooms and showers, with WiFi available throughout the property.

Lake access serves as the main attraction, offering swimming areas and a designated play zone for children. The lake also provides fishing opportunities for those bringing gear. A playground adds to the family-friendly amenities. Staff members receive consistent praise for their helpfulness and flexibility in handling camper needs.

"Clean areas and convenient to Manton area," notes Kaitlynn B.. Campers seeking additional options can explore The Campground located southeast of the area.

It was decent

They have a really nice area whether it’s fishing or swimming, playground or just plain camping, etc. the only negative thing is the tent camping spots DO NOT have PLUGS which was really irritating because tent camping you’re definitely gonna need an outlet.

Nice little park right on a beautiful lake

Very nice showers. Bathrooms were clean. They have a very nice swimming/play area for small children. Great WiFi connection. 32.00 otd. We had a small issue with a typical Seasonal neighbor thinking they owned the park but the Park Manager quickly handled the issue and we had a good stay.

Not a Bad Little Park

We stayed here for a week. The campground itself is lovely. The people who work it are kind, helpful and accommodating. The sites themselves are small, ours had massive roots that made walking and setting up outside a challenge. We saw a couple of people actually moving their campers to different sites. Too much work for us. The lake is beautiful for swimming. Nothing to do in and around Manton.
