    Good for a quick overnight

    Overall, 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.

    Lewis & Clark RV Park

    Dirty and Pricey.

    $25 for a tent site. Tents are thrown behind the main office directly in the beam of a security light that stays on all night. The picnic are covered in bird poop. They do have showers and they were clean and comfortable. Close to the highway so traffic noise slowed down around 10pm. Not our favorite stop but convenient when fling in or out of Glacier.

    Great price for amenities!

    We found this campsite on our way to Glacier National Park when we needed a tent site for the evening. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Only $22 for a site without electric hookups or $24 for one that does. The campground is very clean and offers showers, restrooms, laundry, dishwashing station, picnic table, cooking grill, fire pits, and WiFi included.

    Perfect for What We Needed

    We 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.

    Bean Lake

    Bean Lake

    Bean Lake is a Montana FWP fishing access site. The 200 acre lake lying along the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front near the Scapegoat Wilderness. Their are two access points to the lake with in the FAS, each has an outhouse. Their is a boat ramp to the lake. The primary fish species in the lake are rainbow trout, which are planted each year by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.

    If you plan to fish Bean Lake, the odds are high you’ll have the lake to yourself. Few people ever bother to visit this remote lake.

    Montana FWP list the site as having 8 sites, but it just looks like a dispersed camping area. Found only one picnic table and the only fire rings were made from rocks. Camping appears to be free as their are no signs or fee stations. You have to look carefully to find the camping areas due to their being no signs. Once you spot the lake look for the outhouses. You are out in the open at this FAS not a tree to be seen. No water (except for what is in the lake) and no trash bins.

    Nilan Reservoir

    Camping on the shore of Nilan Reservoir

    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)

    Nice and quiet

    A 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.

    Moonlight Camping in May

    We camped here overnight on our drive back to Utah. it was beautiful to fall asleep under a bright full moon In May. The access road to the reservoir is a 7 mile dirt road that weaves through ranch and cattle land. We camped in campsite two right at the beginning of the reservoir. The campsite fee is 18.00 per night if you don’t have a Montana fishing license. 18 seems like a lot, but I am all for supporting public lands. You pay on your honor up at the boat launch. Our campsite had a fire ring and a picnic table. There are pit toilets by the boat launch. The sky is wide open. On a clear night it looks like it would be a great place for stargazing.

    Eureka Reservoir

    Sweet calm water access

    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.

    Gets the Job done

    We were driving from Glacier to Yellowstone and didn't have a campsite.  Found this city park right off the highway going through Choteau that allowed camping in the park for just $10.  Seemed kind of sketchy when we pulled in in the dark at 10pm, but it served its purpose.  Looked like there was only one other camper when we were there.  Just needed to leave $10 in the pay box or pay online via QR code.

    Great for overnight stay

    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.

    Nice Family Run Campground

    This is a former KOA campground that was purchased by a family. We stayed her in the summer of 2018 during a very hot spell. We didn't have reservations and fit onto a site (#22) with a nice view of the distant mountains. Restrooms were always clean, even very early in the morning. We stayed two times. The second time we again didn't have reservations and they were expecting a large influx of families for a baseball tournament. They put us in the large RV area and we were grateful for accommodation. They have a small mini-golf area, picnic tables at the sites, and full hookups (as expected). They also have laundry facilities.

    Nice surprise

    We stopped here on the way to Glacier. We didn’t have a reservation but there was plenty of availability. Really nice people running the place. Super helpful and pleasant. Sites were flat and grassy, bathrooms always clean. Nice breeze at night even in a heat wave.

    Great people, very clean and well kept

    The people were wonderful, very accommodating and friendly.  Well kept grounds and clean facilities.  MIni golf course for entertainment. Beautiful area, only complaint was there wasn't a lot of shaded areas and camper sites were very close together.

    Pleasant Surprise

    With no reservations or plans before entering Glacier we stopped here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The site is uniquely situated between the northern plains and Rockies and has excellent views of the mountains to the west and grasslands and buttes to the south. The staff were exceptionally nice and the facilities very clean. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this “hidden” gem.

    Everything you need and more!

    We needed a place to stop for a night while driving from Glacier to Yellowstone and enjoyed it here so much we ended up staying 3 nights! Every one of the staff members (and their parents who were visiting) were so friendly and accommodating, and you could tell they all worked hard and took pride in their campground. Level sites, spotless bathrooms and showers, laundry room, camp store and even mini golf. We would absolutely stay here again.

    But of a Drive but Totally Worth it

    We saw Cave Mountain on our map and needed to find somewhere to stay so we decided to check it out. The drive in is very long and you start to wonder if you are going the right way, you are. We got there and a mother bear and her cub were at the site we claimed. After scaring them away we set up camp. The next morning on our drive out we saw a young moose by the creek and it was an amazing site. Definitely would reccommend to anyone who wants to have peace and see wildlife.

    Quiet

    Stayed 3 nights on site #8. The site was half shady and half sunny. Large site that we could easily maneuver our 20' camper with room to spare. Notice a nest of young robins getting ready to take their first flight at our site. It is a quiet campground, back from the road with hiking trails around the area.

    Beautiful!

    This was a breath of fresh area after hours of range land driving. The last 5 miles of the road in is dirt. It is navigable with any size vehicle but slow. The campground was quiet except the sound of the river. Half of the sites are on the riverside but they don't have a direct view of the river. The mountain views were spectacular! The sites were large, clean with a nice pad and modern fire pit/picnic table. You do have to pack out your garbage.

    Decent little campground

    The major down fall is no campfires. The camp host are excellent during the summer, the views are beautiful on the backside of the campground. Across the street is 2 city parks and city pool. This place is open year around.

    Mill Falls

    Quiet, remote gem along a beautiful babbling brook

    Wonderful, quiet site along a little-used forest road. We had the site at the end of the road, which is very close to the babbling brook, leading to Mill Falls. Plenty of space at this site, although the other three main sites are smaller and closer together. There are two overflow sites nearer to the road entrance that are more private and bigger, but they didn't seem to have fire rings and picnic tables. 

    We loved this site in July - great shade for hot summer days, the cooling brook nearby, and no mosquitoes!! Facilities included a long-drop (vault) toilet. While there was no potable water available, you can collect washing water from the fast-running stream. 

    The site is a great location for exploring the trails on the Front Range. The nearby hike to 'Our Lake' is about 1.5hrs (roundtrip) from the trailhead at the end of the road. This was one of our favorite hikes in the area. It's relatively flat for the first 1 hour and then gets steeper, along good switchbacks, for the final 30 mins. Highly recommended! 

    If you are in this area and looking for a quiet, remote campsite, I highly recommend this one!
