RangerHavre 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.
ScoutNice little zoo at the campground. All sites are pull through and full hook ups. No shade. Which kinda stunk when it was 100 degrees out. They do nightly, weekly and monthly rates.
GuidePull 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!
RangerJust 1 mile off of hwy 2. Beautiful park with mature Cottonwood trees. Large area with playgrounds for the kids. Horseshoe pits, vaulted toilets, 6 30 amp spots, water available. $10 a night with hookups. Very well maintained park. Dump station in Chinook between two gas stations.
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.
GuideAs a Community Park, it's supposed to be "first come first served." We arrived around 4:15, only to be met by other guests letting us know that they reserved 8 of the spots with hookups (apparently now there's more spots with electric), but that we could take the spot on the end (vs. the open sites on the grass, even though we were there first and no one was there yet). So we backed into the one site to not cause drama, only to find that a trench had been recently dug right through the drive of the site. Our neighbors told us it was in their site, too, and that the dirt was not packed. Our fifth wheel jacks (regardless of having blocks and Snap Pads) sunk about 8 inches into the dirt, and we couldn't get anything level. So we had to leave and go back down the highway to get to a nicer RV park.
We didn't expect much since it was a $10 a night Community Park, but definitely didn't expect to be told by other guests that they "reserved the whole place", be told to go into a spot our rig barely fit in even though other sites were open, and then find a recently dug trench that totally sank our RV. I gave it two starts because you can tell it's a pretty park, and had we just been able to park it on the grass, we should have been just fine.
ScoutPut Decision Point for the destination & drive past it 1/4 mile downhill to the Loma Missouri bridge. There is a sign here with the Woods Bottom CG a mile down to the right on a improved gravel road. We had very little traffic here just a few fisherman. The road past the campground is really rutted & is almost impossible to turn around with a travel trailer. Check it out before you drive it!
One bar Verizon Cell, works well with a booster
Nice location to explore the Missouri River Valley & all it has to offer!
RangerJust 1 mile off hwy 2. Mature Cottonwood trees and a playground for the kids. Vaulted toilets, water available, horseshoe pits, 6 30 amp sites. Dump site in Chinook 9 miles west between 2 gas stations. No Verizon service, no OTA TV as the park in surrounded by hills.
GuideThis 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.
