The Best Camping Near White Sulphur Springs, Montana

You must be there mid-week to get the paid camping spots.  The fishing is great and it's a wonderful family friendly lake.   

Love it, but impossible to find a spot.

Small campground scatter along the lake, boat ramp and launch in good shape. Set in the mountains around White Sulphur Springs with WSS easily accessible if you forget something. No cell reception and your TVs won't work so better bring DVDs if you can tear yourself away from the great fishing and fantastic scenery. Cool nights around a campfire looking out on the moonlit lake - for me the only way to get any better is to have the place all to myself ;)

Boondoggin at its best 

Newlan Creek Reservoir FAS has lots of opportunities for camping. The FAS has six different camping areas. The first three camping areas are right next to each other. They are like three developed campgrounds in a row, to go from one to the other you have to get back on the main road then turn into the next section. The other three camping location are less developed and more spread out further along the reservoir. The first three areas have numbered sites with distinct parking pads. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Each section has a vault toilet. Section 2 has a boat launch and dock. An interesting thing was that the campsite numbers do not always go in order, and jump around. Found three sites listed as site #4, two of which were in the same section. Most of the sites in the first three sections are in the trees. The last three camping sections are all in the open with no trees. Water is not available and you must pack out your trash.

Newman creek is prettier than it looks in the pictures with good shade but it is very busy. The camp site 14 was right next to the boat launch and “beach” which is used as a day access site. Be prepared to be making friends! 

Busy 

Newlan Creek had a very nice drive into the campground, was well kept and had toilets, boat ramp, etc.  Nice beach areas as well.  It is hard to find a site as you have to drive through the loops of sites which have trees and some tight corners for those larger rigs. We had a great stay and enjoyed.

Very nice, well kept, tight corners

Was able to get a spot right on the water late on a Saturday night. Quiet, fire rings tables and restrooms. Not much to complain about.
