Best Campgrounds near Dagmar, MT

22 Reviews

Campgrounds in the Dagmar, Montana vicinity range from rustic state parks to developed RV facilities. Brush Lake State Park Campground provides sites for tents, RVs, and even glamping accommodations with boat-in access available from May through November. Other established facilities include Sheridan County Fairground and Rosewill RV Park in nearby Plentywood, offering electric hookups and varying amenities. Blacktail Dam in Zahl, North Dakota also falls within the regional camping area, providing additional options for cabin stays and tent camping. Most campgrounds in this northeastern Montana region are relatively small with limited site numbers.

Seasonal considerations significantly affect camping experiences near Dagmar. Many campgrounds like Brush Lake State Park operate with restricted seasons, typically closing by November due to harsh winter conditions. Limited reservations are available at most facilities, with some operating on a first-come basis, particularly after mid-September when hunting season begins. Facilities range from basic to moderate, with varying levels of amenities. Several locations offer electric hookups, but water, sewer, and shower availability differs significantly between campgrounds. "In September this small state park is overrun with hunters. I truck camp and left with my site reserved only to come back with another camper in my spot," noted one Brush Lake visitor in a review on The Dyrt.

Campers rate Snowden Bridge along the Missouri River particularly highly, citing excellent fishing access and wildlife viewing opportunities. While Brush Lake State Park receives mixed reviews, visitors appreciate its swimming opportunities in summer months. A reviewer on The Dyrt described it as having "a warm lake for swimming, boating, tubing, canoeing that is very near the campground." Several campgrounds in town settings like Bruegger Centennial Park provide convenient access to services while maintaining reasonable prices. RV parks throughout the region typically offer more consistent amenities, including water and electric hookups, while tent campers may find more appeal in the state park settings with greater natural surroundings. Sites with water proximity tend to be more popular and fill quickly during summer weekends.

    Trenton Lake Recreation Area

    Very Basic, Looks to be Poorly Staffed

    In the main camping area, about 20 sites with generally level concrete pads, but close together with no screening between sites.  Several campsites had trailers but no occupants.  Camping area is across from the boat ramp to the lake, but does provide decent lake views.  Posted price of "full hook-up" was $35.  Hmmm.  Electricity, yes, but no sewer connection that we could find and (despite faucets) several signs declaring "non-potable water." Scattered picnic tables (no table at many sites).  Bathrooms locked and unavailable.  Some of this might have been sorted by staff members, but no one appeared from the time of our arrival till the time of our departure (pay envelopes and a slot).  Although June 30th, the place had the feeling of not being open for the season.

    Brush Lake State Park Campground

    No reservations after mid September

    In September this small state park is over run with hunters. I truck camp and left with my site reserved only to come back with another camper in my spot. Online reservation system would resolve any issues. Other camper claimed there was no site tag at site. It was there when I left in the flimsy clip provided.

    Blacktail Dam

    Cute

    I think for families this would be a nice place to spend a weekend. Everything was closed I'm here in April so I would have been the only camper had I stayed. But the bathrooms aren't open and the water is not on yet so we'll probably head over to a state park instead. But if you had small boats or wanted to fish it's very cute you can see the water from every campsite and pretty much can access the water from every campsite. Probably well used by the locals.

    Blacktail Dam

    Nice Place

    All camp spots are right on the water, though most of them have cat tails and thick vegetation making it difficult to get to the water. Each site has electric that you share with your neighbor. They have a water station, dump station, showers that could use some attention, they have a nice playground for the kids, some picnic shelters, bathrooms and garbage cans. We stayed over the 4th so it was very busy but still enjoyable (coming from a family that prefers our solitude). There isn't a lot of water access for shore fishing and swimming is prohibited in most areas. There is a swimming beach about 1.5 miles from where we had camped which was pretty central to the grounds. It's not a big beach area so busy days it can be a little crowded. It is nice and sandy and great for the kiddos, though. All in all, the campground was nice and I would stay again!

    American Legion Park

    Nice looking place but locked and closed

    We arrived but the gate was locked. We walled to the camping spots and it looks like it would have been a great place to stay, covered tables, sites far apart, surreal flaring wells on the distant mountains. The water was really low. We stated outside the gate and had no issues.

    Fort Buford State Historic Site

    Fort Buford/Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers Confluence/Fort Union

    The CG is free. They want you to check in at the Confluence Visitor Center. The CG has tables, fire rings, and trash cans. Nobody has pulled in around us. Nothing better than free camping with solitude these days! We camped here in a 35 ft 5th wheel. Lots of great history with the old forts (Buford and Union) nearby. And the Confluence Visitor Center was good.

    Brush Lake State Park Campground

    Warm lake, not crowded

    Went here deliberately because it is not extremely busy and has a warm lake for swimming, boating, tubing. Canoing that is very near the campground. Fantastic restaurant in Genora, ND about 5 miles away. Went in late July and flies were somewhat bothersome. But lake was so refreshing and this would make a perfect 1-2 day stop between many locations in MT and ND. 27 miles to Canadian Border. Went swimming every day I was there except one day when it was cool. 150 miles to Theodore Roosevelt National Park which was also great.
