Large cottonwoods provide shade at this boat-access primitive camp along the Missouri River at mile marker 122.6. Gist Bottom sits within the Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument and requires watercraft to reach, making it accessible only to canoeists and boaters navigating the river corridor.
The site features two established fire rings with adequate clearance and multiple tent spots beneath mature trees. Campers can expect bare ground around fire areas and level spaces for setting up camp. For those planning extended river trips, places to camp near Winifred offer additional staging options before launching downstream. The campground allows both campfires and alcohol, following standard monument regulations for primitive sites.
