Guide to Butte

Camping sites near Butte sit at elevations between 5,500-6,200 feet, creating cool nights even during summer months when daytime temperatures average 75°F. The region's granite mountain ranges and continental divide location contribute to variable weather patterns, with afternoon thunderstorms common in July and August. Morning temperatures frequently drop below 45°F even in peak summer camping season.

What to do

OHV adventures: Access extensive trail networks from Delmoe Lake campground, located 13 miles from Butte. "Lots of rock formations in the area to climb and explore. There's a few trail heads to get to the peaks and get an amazing view of the lake and surrounding valley," notes Nick T. The nearby staging areas make this an ideal base for motorized recreation.

Winter hammock camping: For cold-weather adventurers, Delmoe Lake offers year-round accessibility. "Best out of the 7 campsites we visited on our Montana trip! It's gorgeous and open and has trees you can easily sling up hammocks," reports Mari W., who specifically visited for winter camping. Bring appropriate cold-weather gear rated for sub-freezing conditions.

Historic exploration: Visit Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park for guided cave tours through limestone formations. "Amazing family campsite with amenities, gift shop and stores... The caverns has been modified since I was young making paths and walking through easier with better footing and railing for balance. You will see live animals and bats!!" shares Carla S. Tours run daily from May through September with a moderate 2-mile uphill hike required.

What campers like

Clean shower facilities: Multiple campers highlight the exceptionally clean restrooms at local campgrounds. At the 2 Bar Lazy H RV Campground, "They made an attempt to make the bathrooms handicap accessible in both the men's and women's. A single shower stall with two grab bars and a flip down bench with a low step shower can be used," notes Lara O., who appreciated the accessibility features.

Lake recreation access: Philipsburg Bay Campground offers excellent water access with spacious sites. "Nice, shaded little spot on the lake. Every site we saw was in the pines. Great for shade, terrible if you rely on solar," explains Luke L. The campground provides direct lake access, making it ideal for paddle sports and fishing.

Historical significance: History buffs appreciate Missouri Headwaters State Park where three rivers converge to form the Missouri. "Experience Camping near where Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery camped at the headwaters of the Missouri river in 1805," notes Dexter I. The park features interpretive displays about the Corps of Discovery and dugout canoe exhibits.

What you should know

Weather preparedness: Mountain climate means variable conditions throughout the camping season. "Cold, nice weather for hiking," reports Cella P. about Butte KOA's elevation. Weather can change rapidly, with nighttime temperatures dropping significantly even in summer months.

Tent site limitations: Many RV parks in the area offer limited tent-only sections. At Fairmont RV Resort, "Site was grassy. No fires allowed for obvious reasons. We were the only tent guests.
