"The layout is pretty condensed so I was quite close to my neighbor. Campground was quiet, some road noise outside. An excellent option to break up a drive on I-90."
"We were greeted at the entrance by 2 gentlemen that showered up on golf carts, showed us our way to our site and even guide us when backing to our site."
"Deer lodge has some great museums and Anne tours. The old prison and associated mushrooms are a must stop. Check out the ghost town! Indian Creek campground is right off I-90."
"On our way to Yellowstone and it was getting late in the day, seen signs for the Old Montana Prison and decided that would be a fun stop."
"The campground is tucked between two imposing rock walls that deliver wonderful sunset and sunrise scenery."
"Lost Creek State Park is located just outside of Anaconda, and is a perfect location for a quick day-hike or a multi-day trip. It is located in a canyon that is very secluded and has great views."
"It's Montana, so bearproofing is necessary. 3 out of 10 sites were occupied mid-week in August."
"Racetrack campground is a hidden gem of a campground tucked just in side the Forest Service boundary. This 13 site campground has large roomy sites well spread out from each other. "
$10 / night

"Easy access to the creek for fishing. great little fire pit."
"Was nice being close to the creek and there was lots of fallen trees we used for firewood.
Quiet spot with a small amount of traffic on the road."
TravelerThis place is just a few minutes from the freeway on a relatively good dirt road. There is a big open space that you come to first, which can accommodate a number of RV's. We drove farther up the road and found a more secluded place. It is an OHV area and can be a bit noisy. However, It has excellent cellular coverage and is not far from town. Lots of mountain bike trails nearby. We were there for a couple of nights. Lots of rigs came in just for one night stays.
TravelerWow this was a very unique camping experience up in the boulders. Had a lot of fun walking my dogs and cat up in there. (Yes my cat goes camping too). There was no water pumps on the campground, however there is a nice little creek running through that one could get water. Also there were vault toilets and the one we used was closer to the entrance of the campground. It was clean, however the door didn't lock. Really wish we didn't go on a holiday weekend as it sounded like a dirt bike ho-down and wasn't very relaxing. We will try again during the week or a non holiday weekend. The stars were gorgeous, and the bird watching was phenomenal. At least when there weren't dirt bikes.
ScoutSeems KOAs are loosing their appeal. Pool was broken and dirty, chess pieces were missing, nothing else to do for the kiddos but a dilapidated playground. Half the park was off limits because it was under construction. Our site didn’t have a fire pit. Office smelled like smoke when you walked in.
ScoutThere are multiple spots to pull off from Garnet Range Rd, and there are spots with a stone firepit along them. Verizon has around 2 bars, there's no toilets or running water.
GuideVery decent spot to spread out and enjoy a wide open vista. The designated camp spots are super clean and nicely laid out. I couldn’t give 5 stars for several reasons: there is not any shaded spots, it’s very exposed; the vault toilet is a significant jaunt for the campers to reach, especially females, and there is not a faucet to get any water (but it’s dispersed so totally acceptable). But I picked this because the family (5) can have space and it’s super clean and quiet. Now that I’ve explored the area I know some other sweet spots to try on vicinity. Overall this is a tremendous place and I will certainly be back.
ScoutNice spot along a stream. Seems to be a weekend spot for locals from Helena. I was told by locals that it has been free until 2025 and is now $10. It's primitive with a picnic table, and sit was fairly level.
GuideCampground is alongside Lost Creek which offers a pretty nice waterfall accessible by a short paved path. The sites are large and private and somewhat level but many will require leveling. Many of the sites are short, officially 23ft max, but there were several there would easily accommodate our 28 foot rig. toilets. Definitely quiet! No other amenities other than trails. It got very cold (27°) and flurried while we were there! Super surprised that we had some tmobile service! The first 7 sites are asking the entrance road and are exposed. Hold out for the loop at the end of the road for nicer sites.
ScoutA good chunk of mostly flat spots with a few fire rings. The road in is pretty bumpy but otherwise maintained. Keep this one close to your chest… keep it clean and less traveled haha. Open sky for Starlink and solar. Established $ camping further down the road. Further in the rougher the road. More beautiful as you get deeper in but a tough go. Came in with our 28’ travel trailer and had ample room for turning around etc.
GuideThis place was amazing! Very well maintained area! Picnic benches, tent camping spots, rv spots! We might have been lucky but no mosquitos! It’s across the bridge in case you can’t find it from google maps :)
