    4 or 5 dispersed sites along Chaffin Creek road

    Pleasant and next to creek

    Being only a very short distance from the main road, the dirt access road is smooth though it has scattered potholes and is through a country residential area. Once you pass the private properties, you enter into the forest and drive fairly close to a creek. There are numerous pull outs along the road with a few of them only a few steps away from the creek. Verizon is one bar. It is primitive camping at its best, no services but a fabulous place to spend a night or two. The road had more traffic on it than I expected, but there were no problems. The sites were all clean, and a few had fire pits. Just passed the second (actual) cattle guard which is where the private property seems to end, you'll find a cluster of sites that are well isolated - I went beyond that to a very nice pull out as I wanted to be a little further from the private property.

    Travellers Rest Cabins & RV Park

    Travellers Rest Cabins & RV Park

    We stayed in a couple of the cabins over the course of a week while waiting for a vehicle repair to be completed. The first couple nights were in the Bear Cabin--this is a cozier, older cabin. The final few nights were in the Whitetail Cabin, which had a bit more room to move around in. The owner/employees were friendly and helpful during our entire stay. The cell service and wifi were quite unreliable most of the day and evenings when streaming movies or videos. Right next to downtown, so plenty of shops, restaurants, and saloons nearby for something to do. I loved the 406 Saloon and the Used Book Store.

    FS Road 5634 dispersed

    FS Road 5634 dispersed

    Found this spot on our way to hike the Baker, Middle, & Gem Lake Trail. There's just one proper dispersed site on this long switchback dirt road, but it's quite the spot if you can grab it! The views are amazing, but unfortunately it's right off the road at a switchback. There's only enough room for a standard vehicle or a camper van. Much of this road has no cell service, but this campsite did have a good AT&T signal. No amenities, so as always, clean up after yourself and keep Montana beautiful.

    Petty Creek Road Dispersed Camping

    Basic and easy

    It is RIGHT off the road, I missed it coming back from town (having been to the site once already). Any vehicle (cars too) can get to the 3 or 4 sites. Turn around may be iffy. Depending on your skills and the size.

    All sites are close together, though we are here by ourselves. You can hear I90 in the background, but we slept in our car and it didn’t bother either of us. Saw deer so far.

    It’s tucked in a valley, so no awesome views. This is a spot for ease and convenience, it got 4 stars for that. Lost the 5th for no view.

    Johnsrud Park FAS

    Day Use Area- No overnight

    Beautiful boat ramp and very large day use area. Plenty of river access for fishing and boat ramp access. Plentiful parking, pit toilets, and a large group day site with picnic tables. Only saw 2 other humans while I visited.

    Jim & Mary's RV Park

    Lovely, manicured RV Park

    This rv park is serene and beautiful. Whoever takes care of the grounds is meticulous and has two green thumbs. I felt safe which is of utmost important to me. The staff was welcoming and efficient. Would stay here again any time.

    My spot is right by the road and there is road noise but for the most part, it was fine.

    There’s plenty of spaces far from the road that i am sure wouldn’t hear this at all.

    Philipsburg Bay Campground

    A quiet idyll at season’s end

    This campground has many sites shaded by lodgepole pines. The sites are far enough apart and angled to give a nice sense of privacy. Some of the sites have electric, but there is essentially no water. Vault toilets are clean. Near the water, but not on it.

    Charles Waters Campground

    Clean with flat pads

    What a great setting in the trees. Campground is clean, sites are well spaced, parking pads are pretty flat and big.

    Warm Springs Campground

    Small and quiet

    Been coming here for over 50 years. Good for tents, and RVs UNDER 30ft. Some areas overgrown where you used to be able to put tents. Pit toilets well maintained. Dumpsters for trash. The one site with power is for a campground host. Recently has had some sites made a little larger. Not much room for more than 1 vehicle per site. Ample extra parking at picnic area.  Has some problems with horse-flies, that bite in July.
