General Custer Fishing Access Road

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, General Custer Fishing Access Road sits along a marshy stretch of the Bighorn River area north of Hardin, with direct water access drawing anglers and drive-in campers. The site has roughly three camping spots, at least one picnic table, and a toilet on-site. Cell service is unreliable here. Conditions vary: one visit found the area freshly mowed and the restroom clean, while another noted standing trash and heavy mosquitoes typical of marsh environments. One access spur runs through dense willow growth that can scrape vehicle sides. Campfires and pets are permitted. Anglers looking for a no-frills riverside stop with quick water access will find this worth a look.

Nice!

Read the reviews and was a bit worried but upon arrival found the area freshly mowed and the restroom clean. Only saw two picnic tables and 1 definite “site”. Only negative is this is in a cellular dead zone for me.

Just skip it!

Not a bad site in theory, the access road is good and there is a toilet. However, there are only three campsites, one of which requires running a gauntlet of overgrown willow bushes and scratching a substantial amount of paint off the sides of your vehicle to access, which we did as the other two sites were taken. The mosquitoes here are horrid as it's a marsh, we considered peeing in a jar in our van instead of risking opening the insect mesh. Standard array of trash...cigarette butts, beer cans, water bottles etc.
