Reservations are available at this private RV-oriented campground in Clinton, Montana, with nightly rates running $40 to $100 and full hookups including electric, water, and sewer for rigs up to 60 feet. The access road gives some visitors pause. Several reviewers flag rough conditions on the approach, so drivers with longer setups should take it slow.
Sites sit on grassy, level ground in a mix of forested and open terrain alongside Rock Creek, and the layout is compact. Sites are close together with little buffer between them, which means campers expecting separation between neighbors will want to manage expectations. That said, reviews consistently note the absence of highway noise despite proximity to I-90, and the creek provides a natural backdrop. "Gorgeous surroundings and generally quiet," notes Greg B.. Cell service and WiFi both get positive marks from multiple visitors.
Fly fishing draws a dedicated crowd here. As Kirk J. puts it, "apparently fly fishing is the thing here," with a fly fishing supply store roughly 100 yards from the campground. Rock Creek runs along the property and gives anglers direct water access. Onsite amenities include showers, laundry, a playground, basketball and volleyball courts, and horseshoes. A restaurant has operated on the grounds, though at least one recent reviewer found it closed during their stay, so confirming hours before arrival is worth the effort.
Campers who want dispersed alternatives in the area can find free sites at Rock Creek Dispersed Spot - Lolo to the south, or explore Lolo NF Dispersed near Clinton -- Moccasin Ridge Road for national forest options. The campground runs April 1 through November 1. Booking ahead makes sense during summer, when the campgrounds near Clinton corridor sees steady through-traffic from I-90 travelers heading west.
Description
Ekstrom's Stage Station is a collection of historic log buildings reassembled along Montana’s famous Rock Creek, functioning today as a full-service campground. The campground is situated in a large grassy meadow surrounded by tall pine trees. The campground offers water & electric sites, full hookups, as well as tent sites for campers who prefer “roughing it.” For those who forgot their tents, we also have an historic school house and rustic log cabins for rent. For registered campers, there is a bath house with hot showers and we have a laundromat. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed pending renovations required by the county.
