Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground

Closed For the Season

This campground is closed for the season from October 1, 2024 through May 22, 2025.

Ekstrom's Stage Station Campground, near Clinton, Montana, is a charming spot that offers a blend of natural beauty and family-friendly amenities. With 48 sites surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of nearby Rock Creek, it’s a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors.

The campground features picnic tables and fire pits, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. Visitors have praised the clean showers and bathrooms, although some noted they could use a bit more attention. The on-site restaurant has received rave reviews for its tasty offerings, making it a convenient option for meals after a day of exploring.

For families, there’s a playground to keep the kids entertained, and the area is great for fishing and hiking. Campers have enjoyed the serene atmosphere, with one saying, “It’s a very beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet.” While the sites can feel a bit snug, the friendly vibe and beautiful surroundings make it a worthwhile destination for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.

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.

Pretty and quiet

$42 for fire pit and picnic table! No privacy between the spots. That said, it’s a very beautiful setting with big trees, and very quiet. Nice playground for the kids . Showers and bathrooms looked like they had been clean to, but overall were in need of a deep cleaning. The shower curtains were on the toilet stalls… Not sure how you keep those clean thoroughly.

Restaurant was really nice and tasty. Nice people. But they are only open till 230 even though their website says they are open for dinner. I was hoping to stay one more day because it was so peaceful but we needed to get going on our trip.

Closed for Season BUT we stayed anyway

We called the number on their sign when we arrived. It’s pretty shut down with no services but we dry camped. Owner was super nice and we were greeted warmly by her grandkids. They ran our dogs around and tired them out.

Great Stay

We stayed here for a night as we headed west. It offered everything we needed with a beautiful campground to boot. The laundry facilities were great. The showers were clean and hot. There was an adorable restaurant in the campground. Every single staff member we came across was so friendly. There is a basketball court, sand volleyball court, horse shoes and a playground. There’s also a beautiful creek running along the campground with beautiful Mountain views. WiFi sand cell service worked great. I would absolutely stay again!

Convenient, gorgeous, snug and delicious!

Easy access from I-90. Beautiful location, classic Montana with trees mountains and rivers! Great restaurant on site. Campsites are the reason for not giving 5 stars. Very tight and not great space for maneuverability. Was not full so we were fine with a big rig. Had it been full would be a little uncomfortable.
