4 campsites near the South Fork of the Teton River. Some fishing for brook, rainbow, and cutthroat, though all populations are low. Go 1 mile west to the end of the road to the South Fork trailhead, and hike in the short distance to pristine Our Lake, near the border of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Our Lake is a fantastic place to see mountain goats year round, as well as the ever-entertaining pika and yellow-bellied marmot. Never approach or feed wildlife.

Great park. Good sites, full hookup, propane available, the best WIFI we've ever gotten in a rv park. Run by a very nice, competent couple.

We spent two nights at this campground. Campground was quiet even for being in a railroad town. Hardly heard any train noise. Bathrooms appeared to get cleaned everyday. Sites have electric to them. Campground person came through every morning and talked to use. The local sheriffs office went through multiple times. Most water spickets did not seem to work so had to haul water from the spicket behind the RV dump station. This campground has issues with gophers and gopher holes. One camper got kicked out after six weeks of not paying while we were there according to the campground attendant. Lot cheaper than getting a hotel room at the cheapest hotel in town. Will stay again when we visit family in town.

The 6 miles between where the pavement ends and when you reach the main paid camping area is so washboarded, I thought I was going to lose my mind. But we and our 26ft class c survived with no broken bits.
The main camping area is nice, but pricey in my opinion at $18/night. Each spot is along the water and comes with a nice flat pad to park on, fire pit, picnic table, and shade structure. There are pit toilets as well. No other amenities. We chose to keep going, mainly because $18 felt like too much money. The road is not so washboarded when you leave the campground, and we did ok driving around the lake for about a mile until we found one of the free dispersed sites. No amenities here, of course, other than some home made rock fire pits. Each spot is really private and segregated from the next spot.
The lake was nice and cool and refreshing to swim in when we arrived on a hot July day. No cell service here. The ATT phone had a bit of service, and with the cell booster was even able to stream. The Verizon phone had nothing. Lots of mosquitoes here, swarms of them at dusk when you’re trying to enjoy the beautiful sunset.

Really nice place. We stopped here and decided to stay another night to take a break from driving the shower was great pressure was great. The water is soft, which is a plus the prices are great on the site and even the cokes.

Like others said, it is pack in pack out, but otherwise it is great. Bathroom is close and clean, being close to the water is nice, and 100% free. There’s also a campground not far away more inland that is free in the same park.
GuideThe campground was mostly empty on July 3rd & 4th. A pay ($25 a night) station is on the honor system. Bathrooms and showers are old but in working order. A few sketchy looking campers here that look like from the movies breaking bad. If you know what I mean. Good for a night or two only.

4 miles off route 200 Left on MT-21 Right on Lowry Road, over bridge. Picnic table, fire ring, pit toilet, gravel pad. 5-6 sites mostly level. BLM land free
Guide
There are two loops on either side of a small creek, a dry side and a shaded grassy side. There is also a terrific dog park just down the road within walking distance. Great for an overnight and a great price.
TravelerA very nice stopover. The park is well-kept. Hookups worked well. Spacious setup. Loved the walking trail at the top of the park. Grocery just down the street. Very quiet and dark at night. Very friendly host. Nice laundry. Good wifi, adequate cell coverage for Verizon and AT&T. Stayed several days to explore the area where the prairie meets the Rocky Mountains. Lots of dirt road, but wonderful views. Also visited the waterfowl area and Freezout Lake. Very Montana.
ScoutWe happened upon this place later in the evening as we were traveling from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone. We were getting worried because it was getting dark. We got to the campsites after hours and the host was kind enough to come out and greet us even though their office had closed. It was $25 for a tent spot. They have clean restrooms and showers, a dishwashing sink, coin-op laundry, games of corn hole, a game/reading room, and a coin-op pool table. Our tent site provided privacy, fire pit, and table. We loved it. We didn’t get to enjoy it much since we got there late and left early, but it was wonderful! We would go back! Only downside was a loud siren going off around 6AM that sounded like an air raid siren from a nearby mill.
GuideBeautiful place to stay. Picnic table & fire pits available. Gorgeous view. Clean bathroom + toilet paper.
Ranger$25 a night. Restrooms and showers but did not need them. 30amp and water at some sites. Several spigots around the campground . Back in sites are small. Pull throughs are big rig friendly.
RangerWe got here on Sunday and the campground was empty except for one other camper. Lots of sites with electric some have water. Plenty of spigots otherwise around the grounds. Still $25 but a great deal. Glad the town supports it. Police patrol often.
TravelerI camp in my vehicle. The campground has great bathrooms and showers.

Right in town with all the basics and great owners!

Nilan Reservoir Fishing Access site has six campsites on the south west shore of the reservoir. These sites are small and close together, while you can set up a tent these sites are better suited to RV campers. Sites are in the open near the road. Three set of two sites with a vault toilet located with sites 1 & 2 and another at sites 5 & 6. The fishing access site has a boat launch located by sites 5 & 6 and this is also the location of the fee station. Site five is the best location for a tent as it has a patch of grass. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. This is a trash in-trash out campground. Site is also dry so be sure to bring all the water you will need. Price varies by state residency and if you have a fishing license or not. Price varies from $5 to $18 a night (picture included that shows the break down)

We ran into this one by chance. Got rained out at one spot and just started driving. Chateau is a cute little town with a grocery store, laundry mat, and some places to eat.
This camp ground it right out of town. Easy access. And internet.
Small no frills campground.
The gem is the reservoir access. Esp if it is earlier in the year and the river's are high. You can go here to get your feet wet earlier in the season.
Also convenient of you are on you way to Glacier. The view here never gets old.
Guide
As of this review this campground is under construction. So do your research.
Easy to get to and close to Sun Canyon lodge where you could go for dinner and some internet access.
We like to be close to water so this one was a bit disappointing. The river itself was flowing too fast to play in. And the area around was swampy and too shallow.
I imagine in warmer weather bug spray is needed. maybe the river goes down a bit also.
Other then that typical couple toilets, access to trails. No frills ok place to stay. It will be fun to see what is upgraded.
GuideBeen looking for a spot for the night all day, until I finally found this gem. The water is incredible, it was warm enough for a midday swim. Depending on your clearance, you could park anywhere around the lake. Even with low clearance we still found a fantastic spot. No ATT service, Verizon worked fine though. Definitely coming back in the future.
ScoutGreat price for the quality of amenities the hosts offered. Excellent bathrooms and showers. Kind of a bummer that you can’t have bonfires with wood, only gas fire pits allowed here.
GuideOverall, not a bad place to stop for the night. My friend and I were driving to Glacier and needed a place. We typically tent camp, but neither of us felt comfortable setting up our tent here so we opted to sleep in the car. $10 in the box and you just park your vehicle. Not sure about bathrooms as we just went to the gas station down the road.

The RV sites all had electric hookups and they had good space between each. Not a lot of shade, though. Would be nice if there were walkways down to the water so you didn't have to beat through the trees and shrubbery. There is a playground for kids. The lake has lots of open shoreline. There is tons of local traffic. A lot of the same vehicles that just drive through 10-20 times a day. It's a bit annoying. Lastly, they do have port-a-potties around the grounds but they are all riddled with large spiders and generally out of TP.
GuideTraveling Hwy 2, we were looking for a quiet spot. Clean bathrooms with showers, electrical hook up and water near by. “Lake” is small and silty. Perfect spot for a good night sleep, though. $25
