Mid-Canon Fishing Access Site

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Five sites line the Missouri River at this Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks access site outside Craig, each with a metal fire ring and picnic table. Sites are spaced well apart. There is no water or trash service on-site, so campers need to pack in supplies and pack out waste. Weekends draw crowds, so arriving midweek improves the odds of securing a spot. Non-residents pay $18 per night. Bring your own toilet paper, as the single vault toilet is not reliably stocked. Paddlers and anglers will find a gravel boat launch at the parking area, with additional river access at site one. Those planning a float trip can browse campgrounds near Wolf Creek to round out a multi-night itinerary along this stretch of the Missouri.

Campers regularly cited the spacious riverside sites with beautiful views and good site spacing. Basic facilities are adequate though the single vault toilet may be poorly stocked and requires walks from distant sites.

Excellent find!

Beautiful spot! Right by the river! We got the last spot down by the river and the pit toilet. $18 for non residents. Bring your own toilet paper, the toilet was not stocked very well. Fire pits and picnic table at each site. Just beautiful views! By far my favorite spot this trip!

Roomy and quiet Missouri River Campground

Mid Canon FAS is a favorite stopping point for lunch while were paddling the Missouri River canyon. We can usually find site #1 empty for our lunch break, which is nice as the vault toilet is right next to the site. Mid Canon FAS along the Missouri River has five roomy spread apart campsites. In addition to the campground the Fishing Access site has a large parking area for those floating/paddling the Missouri. This location seems to get little use as a camp ground as we have never seen it full, and very few boat trailers are ever seen in the parking area. The site only has on vault toilet which is at the end of the campground, making for a long walk from two of the camp sites. Access to the river is from a gravel boat launch at the parking area. Easy access is also available at camp site #1 which is why we like having lunch at site #1. Each site has a metal fire ring and a picnic table. No trash service or water at the camp ground.
