Informal Dispersed Campsite at Fish Creek Properties Montana State Park

1 ReviewAdd Review

Fishing enthusiasts will find direct river access at this informal dispersed site within Fish Creek State Park. The campground sits adjacent to a dirt road with some tree screening, offering a concrete slab measuring approximately 12 by 25 feet that provides level parking for RVs up to 25 feet. T-Mobile cell service works well here.

The site accommodates multiple vehicles in the surrounding dirt area, though it functions best for single groups rather than multiple parties. While not the most private location due to road proximity, it serves as a practical overnight option when nearby developed campgrounds near Fish Creek State Park reach capacity. Campers can stay up to 14 days within a 30-day period at no cost.

Big Spot adjacent to the road, Good if in a pinch

Sign says camping permitted to 14 days in a 30 day period. Adjacent to dirt road with a few trees in between. Not the most private but a good option if you need a place for the night if the nearby campsite is full. No amenities. T-mobile cell service is good here.

River access just at the entry of the turn in. Could easily pull a big rig in but may have a hard time turning it around as there is not a pull through. There is a concrete slab that is level and about 12'x25' in size  which could be good for a trailer or van without having to do much for leveling. Many vehicles/tents could fit here in the dirt area but would likely be comfortable for a single group rather than multiple camp groups.
