Best RV Parks & Resorts near Big Sandy, MT

Havre was our last quick stop on the way to Glacier National Park. This RV park is a small asphalt parking lot next to the convenience store and Conoco gas station. The middle sites are parallel parking for big rigs and back in sites for the smaller trailers or Class C’s. Our 28 ft Class A with tow fit just fine. I think larger rigs would be challenged. The sewer hook up is in the road under our rig so we pulled out slightly and dumped when we left to avoid climbing under to hook up. Paid $58 with an AARP discount. A little high for this park.

Internet only available at the store. I used the laundry that is more general public vs reserved for campers. There were a couple long term residents and a few seasonal while we stayed. Otherwise, we had nobody around us which made the space maneuvering easy.

Everything went smooth with staff and check in. The park sits between on Route 2 and the rail yard. Surprisingly, we weren’t othered by any noise.

We took the day to explore the town. Beneath the street historical tour was a blast back to the past and how the town survived a devastating fire. We toured Fort Assinniboine located 10 miles out of town. More great history and testament to how tough is was on the wild frontier.

We followed our GPS into Havre(pronounced Hav-er). When we got to US-2 coming in from the south on US-87, the GPS wanted us to go left where in actuality, you need to turn right and go through Havre as the Campground (CG) is 7 miles out of town on US-2 East. The CGs website instructions tell you about this GPS error. There were no issues with check-in and we headed to pull through site 15 with FHUs. The utilities are near the middle of the very-long gravel and soft dirt pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi but we got some sulfur smell and taste even with our three way filter system. We got 4 bars on Verizon. Most of the sewer connections are extended well out of the ground, so you will have to get your sewer hose up so that gravity flows at least level. This is essentially a large gravel, some grass, and weed parking lot, but the sites are decently spaced apart. There are no trees, so we didn’t have a problem with Starlink. During the day, theres a lot of US-2 road and train noise as the tracks run parallel to US-2. At night, the highway noise goes way down but there are still trains. We enjoyed the farm animals and especially the male peacock that was strutting around with feathers all spread out, which we found out is called train rattling. We tried several times to log into their WiFi during our two day stay, but never connected. This CG worked okay for our short stay.

This is a cute spot if your feeling like camping but want to stay in cell service and have electricity and water access.

Down by the river. Bring bug spray.

There is a small boat ramp/ river access. But otherwise the river access is a little steeper. My 7yr old enjoyed catching soft shell turtles.

Your far enough out you feel like you are camping but you are right in Fort Benton. I highly recommend checking this adorable little town out.

Also check to see when their rodeo is. The campground is right by the arena. If that isn't your thing you might get dusted out.

Cute small spot. Definitely our go to when we are only feeling semi adventurous.

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.
