Clark Canyon Recreation Area

We’ve stayed at Clark Canyon a few times. It’s right off the highway, on the reservoir, and pretty quiet. Most sites are open and can get very hot. Some sites have picnic shelters, some just tables. Not a lot of trees.

Trash and bathrooms available.

Just south of Dillon, Montana on the west side of the highway is the Clark Canyon Reservoir. Free camping up to 14 nights. Everyone gets there own picnic table under a shelter and a firepit. The sites are far apart and flat. The mountains are right here! Full of snow and it can be windy but it’s a nice quick stopover as we head south.

The back drop of the snow capped mountains across the reservoir was spectacular. Prepare for wind. Very clean and well kept spot for boondocking

Beautiful lake! Perfect for boating and kayaking. There is a designated camping area that looked to have electric hook ups, further into the canyon are more dispersed sites. The sites are large and level with vault toilets. There were multiple loops you could choose from. I had great cell coverage with Verizon. The mosquitos were out of control so be sure to bring bug spray and netting. Watch for snakes. The sites had their own covered picnic areas and fire pits.

You can stay in this great campground which has clean toilet, drinking water, fire pit, a shelter style cabin, boat ramp, small sandy beach for swimming, and beautiful water/lake view, plus handicap accessible for 14 days and it won’t cost you anything, FREE !!!
