    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!

    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/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.

    Best place in the region

    This is my go to for overnights and day trips. Right along the Missouri River. Great fishing access, wooded and close to town. Have seen great wildlife, excellent summer stargazing. Not a very big spot and only two camp sites close to the vault toilet.

    Nice , quiet place

      We have stayed here twice, once 2 years ago for 2 mo. and then again for the month of August this year. Level sites, good water, 30 & 50 amp service & city sewer. TV is over the air, 6 ch, if the weather permits so bring a few DVD's.  A nice quiet place. There are no facility's, like shower house or bathroom's.

      You are 3 blocks from downtown, so within walking distance of every thing in town. The park does not have wi-fi, however, the public library  does have free wi-fi.

     A word of warning, unless you have Verizon  or Nemont phone service your phone will not work!   The owner of the park lives off site, is only a phone call away & is a very nice guy !

    Temporarily Closed

    Went all the way down the road to the lake. When we got to the end there was a closed sign. Appears they are flooding badly. Wish they would have had a sign at the train tracks considering the road only leads to the lake. Appears no other way to get to the lake.

    Price is right

    Nice place to stop for the night, no designated sites but I set up a pop up in the parking lot and it worked great. Two blocks off of Hwy 2, restrooms available but not showers. It may be a little close to active  railroad tracks for a light sleeper.

    Cute and cozy

    Cute place to go camp. I don’t like all the houses out here. It makes you feel like you are constantly being watched. Play area for the kids and decent fishing for pike, walleye and sunfish. We haven’t camped here yet, but I would love too. We go out fishing for day trips

    Cute spot

    Cute spot to go fishing or boating, but I wouldn’t camp here. The pervious review said the water is dirty... it comes off the confluence and Yellowstone at a fast pace. I wouldn’t say it’s dirty to swim in or fish in. I’ve done both & have a great time out there... except for camping, I need more privacy then what they offer.

    Basic campground

    Large campground area. Fire pits, large camp spots but close together. Two small cabins . Beds only. Small store. Lake. But most of the time it isn't clean enough to swim or fish in.

    Popular area

    Blacktail Dam is a popular destination for most area people. It is a small dam so it does tend to get quite busy, with minimal camping spots. Most of the land around the lake is privately owned lots.

    Small campground overlooking lake

    Campground is set on top of hill overlooking Brush Lake which is a gem in itself. Campsites are spacious, but no trees for privacy or shade. There are bathroom facilities. Trails that lead down to the lake. Lake has restroom facilities, picnic tables, boat ramp, and beach area. The lake was a hidden gem among locals, so not a ton of people camping. One side of the lake is a state park and the other is privately owned.

    Peaceful, cool (shady)

    Nice little campground. Has electric and water. Just down from rest area in Plentywood MT. One of the nicest and at a reasonable price. $10. Stumbled onto it by accident. Nice shady in amongst some Cottonwood trees. Came in real handy in the middle of nowhere. Not sure what it would be like if there was something going on at the Fairground.

    Can get busy!

    It's a smaller lake with housing all around it. Around the 4th of July can get super busy. They keep the facilities clean!
