Lewis & Clark National Forest runs a well-maintained operation at Many Pines Campground, set along U.S. 89 near Neihart in the Little Belt Mountains. The campground's 24 first-come, first-served sites sit among dense conifers that do a reasonable job of muffling highway noise, though campers in spots closer to the road will notice traffic sounds during the day. No reservations are accepted, and the fee is $15 per night. Cell service is essentially nonexistent here.
One of the more distinctive layout features is the two-tier site design: a number of campsites are split across levels, with wooden stairs and railings connecting the upper and lower areas where the tent pad and fire ring sit. Every site has a picnic table and fire ring, and a few include a BBQ grill or second table. "Bathrooms are clean, and campsites are clearly marked with seclusion from other guests," notes Jonathan L.. Vault toilets and a hand-pump water source are on site. A creek runs nearby. Pack-in, pack-out rules apply for trash.
RVs up to 22 feet fit reliably, though one reviewer with a 28-foot fifth wheel reported fitting without issue. A campground host is sometimes on site. Showdown Ski Area sits just above the campground, which gives the surrounding terrain some elevation and tree cover. For campers who want a different setup in the same corridor, Kings Hill Campground is located roughly four miles to the south, and Aspen Campground provides another option to the northwest.
Description

The Belt Creek Information Center is about 8 miles north of the campground, and trails to the east of the visitor center connect to an extensive trail system.
