Divide Creek Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Riverside camping along a forested stretch near Babb, Montana, Divide Creek Campground is a privately managed property where sites sit close to the water and tree cover is consistent throughout. The campground draws tent campers in particular, with some spots tucked far enough from neighbors to feel removed from the rest of the property. Bears have been reported in the area. Bring spray.

The hosts here are a recurring point of praise across reviews, described as a friendly family that walks new arrivals through the site and shares local area knowledge. One camper noted the spot felt "private," a detail worth weighing given that crowding has come up as an occasional concern during peak summer months. Showers are available on-site, though they carry a $5 per-use charge beyond the base nightly rate, which runs $30 to $80 depending on the site. Cell service is available, and firewood can be purchased on-site.

Campers should also note that the campground enforces dog breed restrictions, which has frustrated some pet owners despite the general pets-allowed policy. Reservations are accepted, and booking ahead makes sense for July visits based on reviewer patterns. Alcohol is permitted, and campfires are allowed at the sites. Those exploring places to camp near Babb will find additional options in the corridor, including Heart of Glacier RV Park & Cabins and Johnson's of St Mary Campground & RV Park within a short distance for campers who want a different setup.

Stunning Riverside Campsites

We stayed here for 5 days in July 2022 and it was one of the best tent camping experiences we’ve had. The river side campground that we stayed at was private and stunning! We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I will say it was annoying to pay an additional $5 per shower, but I get it.

The hosts were amazing and incredibly friendly. But bring your bear spray, there were several bears reported by other campers the days we were there.

Dog breed restrictions

I was contemplating staying here but they have dog breed restrictions which is a bunch of antiquated, BS thinking. No thanks, move on.
