Monture Creek
Monture Creek, near Ovando, Montana, is a straightforward camping spot that offers a no-frills experience for those looking to unwind in nature. With five campsites, you’ll find a mix of locations—some right off the highway and others tucked back among the trees, providing a bit more peace and quiet.
The campground is known for its good trout fishing, with the creek just a stone's throw away from the sites. Visitors have mentioned the availability of fire pits and picnic tables, making it easy to enjoy a meal outdoors or roast marshmallows under the stars. As one camper noted, “There’s a lovely creek that runs along the area,” which adds to the charm of the spot.
While amenities are limited—no showers or trash services—campers appreciate the simplicity and natural beauty of the surroundings. The large pine trees help block out some of the highway noise, especially at the more secluded sites. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with fishing opportunities, Monture Creek might just be the place for you.
