Spite Hill Fishing Access Site

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting alongside the Missouri River near Craig, Montana, Spite Hill Fishing Access Site is a single-site campground managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. The site has a picnic table and metal fire ring, with a gravel boat launch nearby and an ADA vault toilet within close range. Road noise from Recreation Road and I-15 carries through the area and picks up again at daybreak. The site sits in the open with no significant tree cover, and the boat landing draws day-use traffic that clears out by evening. Anglers willing to wade can fish directly from the boat landing. Campers exploring the area can also find campgrounds near Spite Hill Fishing Access Site along this stretch of the Missouri. At $12–$18 per night, the site makes most sense for self-contained rigs or anglers focused on river access rather than tent campers seeking level ground.

Only 1 campsite

The prior review is spot on. There is really no good place for a tent. You could park a camper along the parking area near the campsite. As stated prior, it is next to the outhouse, but which was clean and odor-free. You can use waders to fish by the boat landing. The site/boat landing was busy during the day but abandoned except for me in the evening. So, I liked the privacy. According to the interpretive sign, Lewis and Clark had breakfast here in 1805. Kinda cool! And I had breakfast here in 2024: but, I drove. Road noise quiets down when it gets dark but starts up by daybreak.

One campsite at end of parking area

Spite Hill Fishing access site has one campsite located at the end of a large parking area next to a ADA vault toilet. The campsite has a picnic table and a metal fire ring. Campsite sits next to the Missouri River. The single site is in the open as no large trees are in the area. Site also is right next to Recreation road and I-15. The fishing access site has a gravel boat launch, however the area is often flooded during the spring runoff. The site is lightly used and I have only a few times noticed anyone using the campsite.
