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.

The Best Camping Near Clinton, Montana

About a mile of rt 90. Camping is tight by fly fishing is very good. Freindly people with great food. Beautiful country.

Ekstoms Stage Station

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. 

Convenient, gorgeous, snug and delicious!

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!

Great Stay

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.

Closed for Season BUT we stayed anyway

We pulled in and the kids where so excited!!  Wonderful people helped us to our spot, we are t up camp, kids went to the playground &amp; then we went down to the restaurant for dinner!  Everything was wonderful!   

We had the best thunderstorm with hail that night as well…best night ever!!

Wonderful place

$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.

Pretty and quiet

Absolutely beautiful. Staff provided jugs of water due to the water boil notice, but we would have preferred a discount from the $53 charge for our no water / no electric site (Class B). On the upside there is a sweet playground, really cute buildings, and a little walk down to Rock Creek. Restaurant is closed.
