"Beautiful spot on the water, there were several dispersed camping spots to choose from around the lake. Some of them are very difficult to access with a larger rig."
"Lots of bottles and garbage on the beach from party's and around 2am some locals rolled through in louder trucks right past our spot."
$35 - $52 / night

"The pass can be purchased at Stromberg Sinclair in Havre or other locations in Havre. There are two lakes with decent fishing in the park and a lovely stream."
"There are two lakes with decent fishing in the park and a lovely stream. Mount Otis has a well-maintained trail to the top, and there is a 3 mile nature trail. I use this park all the time!"
"This is a very nice camp location at around mile 48.8 of the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. Site is in a grove of large cottonwoods. One fire ring and one outhouse at the site."

"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!"
"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."
GuideNice 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.
GuideIt seems a little sketchy but it is in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful sunsets. I wouldn’t suggest swimming. 😉
RangerFound this on the Dyrt. About a mile off the main road. A beautiful little park with about 10-12 electric 30 and 50 amp. It’s free to camp if you don’t have electric and $30 for electric. The playground looked amazing. A nice hike up over the hill to a nice pond.
LegendWe 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.
GuideThe VFW site is the only one we visited. We did not camp here and only went to check it out. So glad we did; rotting trash on the roadway and large green dumpster trash cans were on their side but a few were upright. Standard warning sign for bears but some sites were closed for renovation. All sites had over a foot-high weeds and one had a 20' metal culvert in it. Some shade for lakefront sites. No lake access except at boat ramps. The ramp area had a mercury warning for fish and recommended consumption for Walleye. This sealed the deal for a NO go! 062924

GuideSpectacular views from a few campsites on top of the walls, well spread out areas and definitely big rig friendly spots.
Lots of bottles and garbage on the beach from party's and around 2am some locals rolled through in louder trucks right past our spot.
ScoutRight 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.
GuideI have been to Coal Banks Landing to put in on river trips. It can be a busy spot at times with people starting canoe trips on the Missouri River. But it is a great destination on its own. I arrived on a Saturday night in August looking for a place to camp. I found the campground mostly empty and very quiet. It was a stormy day with rain and strong winds up on the plateau above the river. But the campground is down by the river and sheltered from the wind. It was very quiet and comfortable. The campground is also clean and well tended. All in all, a great spot.
