Adventure.

Not going to lie. I didn't know what to expect and white knuckled a but driving my little old motorhome down into this ground. This is a bit of a trek.

TOTALLY worth it if you are up for the adventure though.

The campsites are beautiful, seclided, and shaded. There is water for kids to play in. There is a camp host. And several toilets. Endless trail. If you do some research in that area there is a place where there are some caves to explore, and another with fossils.

No cell service. But one of my favs so far.

Dirty and Loud

I hope we just had an off weekend cause it wasn’t a very pleasant stay. There was trash (including used toilet paper) on the grounds. The bathroom was ATROCIOUS and gross (poop smeared on the walls). Teens and young adults came and went frequently throughout the evening and night and were loud (arguing, revving engines at 2am) and they weren’t even camping out. We were in tents and heard everything. The creek was beautiful but we won’t be back to this campground.

Nice and quiet

First camp we stayed at on a week long trip to Montana. We came on a weekday, so hardly any one there.

A nice lil place to be

I went just overnight to go watch the metor shower. I camped in a tent. Deer wandered into the campground throughout the night and morning. You can hear logging creek moving from no matter where you are. The road was a lil rough with the washed out gullies in the road with the cattle guards. But I overall loved it.

Great spot for a family weekend

This is a great place if you want to get away from Great Falls for a night or two. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and a decent amount of trees. Great little pool on the far side of the campsite is great for kids.

ATV and dirt bikes everywhere!

The campground itself is nice but the 4th of July crowd was mostly there for motorized recreation. This, combined with peoples general disregard for how loud they are, was annoying. Logging creek flows behind the campground and a few of the middle numbered sites are creekside. There is also plenty of dispursed camping up the road.
