    Hansen Family Campground & Storage

    Perfect adventure site while passing through Montana

    Pull through sites with full hook ups and easy access. There's a small dog park, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and the place is nestled between the hills of Northern Montana. Perfect stopping place before crossing the border into Canada!

    Havre RV Park and Travel Plaza

    Convenient to town

    Right on Highway 2 so a little noisy. Limited pet area. Not everyone picks up after their dog. Water and power easy hook up, but sewer has to be run under RV.

    Coal Banks Landing

    Cool dog

    It’s a nice clean campsite to begin your boating adventure on the river with lots of space. The cabin has free WiFi to finish up work before heading into nature. The bathrooms are pretty average for outhouses as well. Also, if your lucky, the camp’s doggo May visit you. He is free to pet!

    Great spacious campground with animals for the kids to enjoy!

    This was a fun, unexpected stop. Unfortunately it's a bit in the middle of no where, Montana, but we were delighted none the less. They have chickens and ducks and geese, goats, and donkeys. You can feed them and visit with them. The sites are huge. No big trees, and right by the highway and train tracks. But it was peaceful and restful, and just what our family needed to recharge. Bonus that they took our Good Sam membership!

    Benton RV Park & Campground

    Terrible

    Benton RV Park in Fort Benton Montana is run by a very nice lady. The restrooms and showers are very clean. Those are the only nice things I can say about this place. They have a full page of rules and regulations with threats of eviction if not obeyed. Fear not though none were enforced. This is what lead us to depart early. One of there rules is to respect the campsites of others and not short cut through them. The other rule that we took issue with is children under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Our campsite was overrun by a group of 6 kids. Playing and cutting through the entire time we stayed there. We had kids outside our camper door in our campsite the entire time we were there. We couldn't sit outside and enjoy our picnic table for the kids toys and their constant running back and forth. We found the photos on Benton RV Park website very deciving. They must have been very old. They depict green grass and well spaced RV's. The reality is dead brown grass and being so close to your neighbor it's more a parking lot located in an area where the houses across The street ends at an industrial like area. So if you have children you want to let run wild and you don't mind everyone cutting through your campsite this place is for you. Otherwise stay away.

    Chouteau County Fairgrounds & Canoe Launch Campground

    It'll Do!

    It's a decent campground. The cliff view is really nice! spaces are pretty close together, though. They say there are full-hookups but really there is only 1 site with both electric and water. The others only have electric. There is a restroom and it's very clean and well kept with a garbage and hand sanitizer. The locals come around during the day to walk their dogs so it makes for a decent amount of traffic through the area.

    Benton RV Park & Campground

    Fine for A One Nighter

    Clean and well maintained. It's probably the bright spot in the entire town, which appears to be about a half square mile of trailers and double wides surrounded by miles of amber waves of grain. There isn't a single paved street in town other than the main road.

    Everything worked and the front desk was friendly. Stopped here for a one nighter on the way to another destination.

    Be aware that this isn't the mountains that Montana is famous for. We were here in mid July and it was 94° with about a 35 mph wind howling across the Prairie. Quite a shock considering we had just come down from the mountains!

    Chouteau County Fairgrounds & Canoe Launch Campground

    Really nice place to camp and hang out

    Set on the edge of Historic Fort Benton, this is a great place to land for a night or a week or more. Lots to see, explore and experience in the area. The sites are not fancy, but the bathrooms are clean, updated and have hot showers. Right near the Missouri River and you can't beat the price!

    There are 2 campgrounds right next to each other. The Canoe Camp is closer to and on the river with a more traditional campground setting.

    Sitting here enjoying the setting sun on the bluffs along the Missouri, enjoying the birds chirping and a laugh floating in and about here and there... it's really nice. 5 minute walk to downtown. Dump station to stop at on the way out. There's no host at the fairgrounds, but it's fairly self explanatory. Lots of electric hook ups, a few with water, none at the fairgrounds with sewer. No numbers here either.

    Hansen Family Campground & Storage

    July 11 stay

    Nice little campground with good view of the surrounding hill sides. Good Verizon wifi. A few trains but we didn’t really notice them. Small farm with a few animals ie: donkeys , goats, chickens and several free ranging rabbits. The only negative was we walked too close to the fountain they had going in the chicken pen and got sprayed with brown water, so watch the wind direction if you walk anywhere within 100 feet of it.
