Norton Campground, near Clinton, Montana, is a cozy spot that caters primarily to tent campers and those with smaller RVs. With its walk-in setup, you'll find a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by Ponderosa pines, making it a great escape for those looking to unwind in nature.
The campground features a loop layout with designated sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings for your evening cookouts. Visitors have noted the availability of water from a hand pump and vault toilets, though keep in mind that the facilities are basic. As one camper mentioned, “The site was very spacious and the campground nice and quiet, clean and well kept.”
If you're up for some adventure, there's a trail leading down to Rock Creek, which is known for its excellent fishing opportunities. The area is home to brown, rainbow, and brook trout, so bring your fishing gear if that's your thing. Just a heads up, the campground can get lively on weekends, so if you prefer a quieter experience, aim for a mid-week visit.
While some sites are closer together, many are nicely spaced out, giving you a bit of breathing room. Just remember, this isn’t the place for big rigs; anything larger than a pickup truck will struggle to fit. Norton Campground is a solid choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors without the frills.
