Boating and fishing are where it’s at for most spots on the Missouri that have a boat landing next door. But it is Monday so it is quiet and the river and the grasslands and the mountains in the background. One thing to note - lots of sun and no shade. The breeze helped with the temp but the sun can still be brutal. Fun grassland birds plus endless gulls.
We had been driving for 6 hours when I searched out a campsite near Helena, Montana. Found this campground and took our chances on something being available. We have a 23ft trailer and Drove 6 miles down the best dirt road ever and arrived. Camp host was very helpful and there were many sites available. We chose site #028 right on the water for two nights. You have to make your reservation through recreation.gov It’s only $5.00 a night with America the beautiful pass. The night was very quiet and the sites were clean. There were people fishing and paddle boarding. I highly recommend this campground.
Campground is in great location. Right on water just 6 miles off of main highway. It is a gravel road but super easy (no potholes) & big rig friendly. Sites right on water. Open sky for starlink and decent cell service. A little loud during day for day use area (boat ramp & beach area), but quiets down in evening. Picnic table and fire pits at campsites. No hookups but sites are relatively level. Beautiful 360 views. Can book easily on recreation site. Also pit toilets and water stations. Mosquitos are heavy in evening but that’s part of being around water.
Camped here one night in late June. Camp was very clean and pretty full with a few sites open. Was able to get a site just a few days before. Had great views of the water with an amazing sunset. Had no issues with cell service. It is a cute drive through some farms to the campground for a few miles. Would come back.
Good campground for RVs, gets windy and not much shade for tent campers.
The campground was alright. Nice big campsites giving you plenty of room. Sites had fire pits, picnic tables, and were somewhat level. It sits right beside the reservoir so a nice view. The road getting there was extremely dusty! And it was six miles of dust! There are a few pit toilets and there is potable water in the picnic area. You can dump at the KOA down the road for a small fee.
Walk in sites were available, the privy was realllly clean, the sites were breezy, and very quiet.
Nice, has a boat ramp
Have stayed here twice, once in the winter and the other time in the spring. Nice quiet campground right on the lake. Large shelter is nice to use if it starts to rain. Can get windy at times depending on which site you are at, some have trees to provide a wind break.
