Bynum, Montana1 Review•5 Photos•23 Saves4 campsites near the South Fork of the Teton River. Some fishing for brook, rainbow, and cutthroat, though all populations are low. Go 1 mile west to the end of the road to the South Fork trailhead, and hike in the short distance to pristine Our Lake, near the border of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Our Lake is a fantastic place to see mountain goats year round, as well as the ever-entertaining pika and yellow-bellied marmot. Never approach or feed wildlife.

Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground
Basic RV and tent camping with great access to the lake
We weren’t able to reserve a site but plenty of ff first come sites. Most sites are large that will accommodate a camper and boat trailer. All are back in.
Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground
Great week day but packed on weekend
A lot of water stations. The boat dock parking area allowed camping along the perimeter. A few paved walking paths near the beach area. The narrow paved roads made life interesting. The fish cleaning station is closed due to vandalism. Our first day was 105F which made the lake more inviting. Evening low of 76F. No pets on the fairly small swim beach. All other water access has large rocks for erosion mitigation.
Our Saturday departure was delayed by FWP boat inspection at the entrance and a long line was inbound to Holter Lake.
Mid-Canon Fishing Access Site
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!
Willow Creek Campground
Pay sites and free dispersed area both
The 6 miles between where the pavement ends and when you reach the main paid camping area is so washboarded, I thought I was going to lose my mind. But we and our 26ft class c survived with no broken bits.
The main camping area is nice, but pricey in my opinion at $18/night. Each spot is along the water and comes with a nice flat pad to park on, fire pit, picnic table, and shade structure. There are pit toilets as well. No other amenities. We chose to keep going, mainly because $18 felt like too much money. The road is not so washboarded when you leave the campground, and we did ok driving around the lake for about a mile until we found one of the free dispersed sites. No amenities here, of course, other than some home made rock fire pits. Each spot is really private and segregated from the next spot.
The lake was nice and cool and refreshing to swim in when we arrived on a hot July day. No cell service here. The ATT phone had a bit of service, and with the cell booster was even able to stream. The Verizon phone had nothing. Lots of mosquitoes here, swarms of them at dusk when you’re trying to enjoy the beautiful sunset.
Choteau Mountain View Campground
Great place great people
Really nice place. We stopped here and decided to stay another night to take a break from driving the shower was great pressure was great. The water is soft, which is a plus the prices are great on the site and even the cokes.
Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping
Great free spot
Like others said, it is pack in pack out, but otherwise it is great. Bathroom is close and clean, being close to the water is nice, and 100% free. There’s also a campground not far away more inland that is free in the same park.
Monture Creek
Monture Trailhead Campsites
Campsite are separated a good distance, not very many. There might be hookups in the round end of the, not positive. Fire pits available. 2 Bathrooms available. Large picnic benches. Pretty sure first come first serve.
Aspen Grove Campground
Nice 1 night stay
Easy 1 night stay on the river. Pretty quiet. Clean
Spite Hill Fishing Access Site
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.
Craig FAS
Convenient and basic
Couldn't camp as it was full on a Thursday in June. Couldn't find and was told there's no water. Very, very busy landing for fishing boats. The town alongside it (Craig) has a nice restaurant / bar and a brew pub.
Prickly Pear Fishing Access Site
Good for one night
Agree with the previous reviews. We stayed with our van and the space was ok, although tricky to find a flat surface. Fees still as shown in the previous pictures.
Prewett Creek Fishing Access Site
Nice
Beautiful setting, peaceful and quiet.
Lowry Bridge Access Site
Quiet , Clean , no services
4 miles off route 200 Left on MT-21 Right on Lowry Road, over bridge. Picnic table, fire ring, pit toilet, gravel pad. 5-6 sites mostly level. BLM land free
Craig FAS
Great in the off season
Craig Fishing Access campground 10 sites. Unseasonably warm, beautiful early spring day by the Missouri River. There are no campers, but the sites are clean, seem to be well taken care of. One vault in the campground another at the vault at the fishing access to the front of the campground. Private property in the back of the campground several campsites close to the river are shaded which in the summer would be perfect. Some noise from I-15.
Prickly Pear Fishing Access Site
Not for RVs unless you like backing up from the main road.
Agree with Dexter. Pretty setting, creek running nearby. Can do fair amount of walking since railroad is no longer used. But constant traffic noise from I-15 can be a real drawback unless one is deaf.
Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground
Lovely Campground in Northern Montana
This is a great BLM camping spot right above the reservoir, with all of the sites having a great view. We were stopping for a night so didn’t get to explore very much. All of the sites can accommodate larger rigs, but none have electrical service so there are lots of generators. We found this unnecessary as we run on nearly 100% on solar and there is open sky a plenty!
The bathrooms are clean, pit toilets, but have potable water right outside. The camping area is right next to a large boat launch for anyone getting on the water. Hiking, boating and fishing are all right there for your enjoyment.
Nearby towns of Craig and Wolf Creek don’t offer much in the way of services, besides a small bar and grill, and gas station, so come prepared.
Choteau City Park
Great for overnight stay
There are two loops on either side of a small creek, a dry side and a shaded grassy side. There is also a terrific dog park just down the road within walking distance. Great for an overnight and a great price.
Copper Creek Campground
Quiet, clean and surrounded by beauty
We spent Labor Day weekend here, was surprised that out of 20 spots, just over half were full. The 5 miles of washboard road most likely deters the crowds! Very clean, well maintained spots. Nice concrete tables and fire rings. Smelled of pine and very few biting bugs! There were friendly deer and lots of chipmunks. People were catching fish in Snowbank Lake, we enjoyed the tadpoles and tons of tiny frogs.
River Junction
Beautiful Remote FAS campground
Peaceful wooded site with the confluence of the Blackfoot and North Fork Blackfoot. Several sites right along the river. Toilet and a single shared bear box among about 8 sites, although I was there Friday night in early August and was the only camper there.
The road back to the campground would be tough for trailers, I think.
Choteau Mountain View Campground
Nice and quiet
A very nice stopover. The park is well-kept. Hookups worked well. Spacious setup. Loved the walking trail at the top of the park. Grocery just down the street. Very quiet and dark at night. Very friendly host. Nice laundry. Good wifi, adequate cell coverage for Verizon and AT&T. Stayed several days to explore the area where the prairie meets the Rocky Mountains. Lots of dirt road, but wonderful views. Also visited the waterfowl area and Freezout Lake. Very Montana.
Dearborn Fishing Access Site
Great spot lots of bugs in the morning
We had a great visit to mid canon access we floated the river and camped. We got our 25 foot 5th wheel in no problem!
Choteau Mountain View Campground
Perfect for What We Needed
We happened upon this place later in the evening as we were traveling from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone. We were getting worried because it was getting dark. We got to the campsites after hours and the host was kind enough to come out and greet us even though their office had closed. It was $25 for a tent spot. They have clean restrooms and showers, a dishwashing sink, coin-op laundry, games of corn hole, a game/reading room, and a coin-op pool table. Our tent site provided privacy, fire pit, and table. We loved it. We didn’t get to enjoy it much since we got there late and left early, but it was wonderful! We would go back! Only downside was a loud siren going off around 6AM that sounded like an air raid siren from a nearby mill.
Copper Creek Campground
Great Spot!
Overall, this is a great spot to camp. Tent camped one night, and had no issues. Bugs are very minimal for being right next to the creek. I will say the road up, has seen much much better days. The speed limit on this road is 45, and I didn’t catch myself going over 15mph. Heavy washboarding, and deep potholes. Drove a Transit van.
Holter Dam Rec. Site Campground
Beautiful lake, nice campground
All good except for wooden rails lining the road make it difficult to back in some spots
Aspen Grove Campground
Nice forest service campground
Located next to the headwaters of the Blackfoot River. Potable water is available from several spigots.
Mid-Canon Fishing Access Site
5 lovely riverside spots
These spots are often filled on weekends, but if you can get a spot this is a lovely campground
Monture Creek
No frills rest spot
This spot has 5 sites to camp at . 2 sit literally feet off the road & 3 sit further back . The sites are very small & there is no privacy. On this day , someone was using 2 of the better sites at once to accommodate their oversized travel trailer. Not cool. We have a travel trailer too but our only other option was a site right off the road . Since we were just passing thru, we desperately needed to rest for the night so we camped in one of the wide open spots right off the road. Kind of a bummer , especially for 18 dollars. Small patch of dead grass with a picnic table & fire ring with a lot of road noise. On the plus side- there is a lovely creek that runs along the area . Maybe it’s a better experience if you can snag one of the more set back spots in the trees & if you fish .
