Full sun spots, no privacy

You’ll need to get a Montana fishing or hunting license to stay here, which isn’t a problem. However all the sites are in a long row with no privacy between them and multiple houses and barns in view. I wanted more privacy so I moved along. Only three RVs were staying when I arrived around 3pm.

Easy place to park an RV with two pull through spots and and two entrances/exits and no need to turn around.

5 sites

5 sites. This is a first come first serve camping area. There is no concrete pads as mentioned in another review. Fire pits and picnic tables at 4 sites. They say it’s a fishing access but unless you have waders there is little access to rock creek on the bank due to thick brush. It is a decent place to stay overnight. No hookups.

Simple dispersed camping

Nice long lot with spots to park Van RV or pitch a tent. It's technically a fishing access spot, that allows overnight camping.
There are 5 or 6 concrete pads at each spot with rocks for a campfire. Not many mosquitoes here and trees on the west side provide a little shade in the evening. Views are simple, your basically off a simple county road with lots of grasses.
