Hansen Family Campground & Storage

Seven miles east of Havre on US-2, Hansen Family Campground & Storage sits along a stretch of highway that runs parallel to active rail lines. The campground is private, drive-in access, and priced at $40 per night with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. One navigational note worth heeding: GPS units routing from the south on US-87 often direct drivers to turn left at US-2, but the correct turn is right, through Havre and then east. The campground's own website flags this error.

Sites are pull-through with full hookups, and reviewers consistently describe them as large and well-spaced on a flat, gravel-and-dirt surface. No shade trees. That matters in summer heat, and at least one visitor noted temperatures hitting 100 degrees during their stay. The sewer connections sit elevated above ground level, so gravity-fed drainage requires positioning the hose at a roughly level angle. Water pressure runs around 50 psi, though some campers have detected a sulfur smell even with filtration. Verizon gets four bars on-site, and Starlink works without obstruction given the open sky. The campground's WiFi has been unreliable for some visitors.

Noise is a real factor here. US-2 traffic is audible through the day, and freight trains run at all hours, though several reviewers found the nighttime highway noise manageable. What draws consistent mention is the small farm on the property: donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, and free-ranging rabbits. Mosquitoes have been reported as a significant issue in warmer months. As Melody C. put it, the campground is "right by the highway and train tracks," so light sleepers should plan accordingly. Hansen Family works best for RV travelers making an overnight stop along the Hi-Line corridor, particularly those heading toward the Canadian border.
