"On my drive up I did not see any established distributed campsites. However there are some turn offs that you could park at. This area would probably not be ideal for RVs."
"Not the best in terms of views, but worth the drive to get out of the city."
"Some times half the site is closed for a while into the season until it dries up. Good place to launch your boat though and when it is open it’s great."
"It’s a super minimal campground for tents only!"
$10 / night
"Nice little lake, was there in fall so not busy. Wooded and sites are along the lake, but views aren’t fantastic. Saw bear prints, definitely lock up foods. Bring water treatment methods."
"There’s only about 5 spots and summer will be crowded when it’s hot and awesome weather! Bring tubes to float around the water and hammock to hang around."
"Kind of neat to drive past the Paws Up resort and the campground is much more affordable! The river is great to float and holds enough water into the fall."
"The outhouses are shared male/female. Nice place to camp."
$14 / night
"Some traffic noise, since it is very close to the highway, but the rod isn’t very busy."
"The campsite is a little close to the highway, but it was not very loud at night. In the fall, there is a reasonable amount of traffic, but I would assume it gets a little heavier in the summer."
LegendPhilipsburg Bay Campground is a beautiful large campground right on the shore of Georgetown lake. This 69 site campground sits among large pine trees with campsites nicely spread apart. The large trees give you plenty of shade throughout the day. This paved campground is split up into three loops, two of which are first come first served, the other can be reserved. The area also has a day use area and boat launch. Cost is $15 per night. Campground has trash service, and water is available during the summer season. I visited in November so no water for me. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Several vault toilets are located in each loop. Bear lockers are spread out through out the campground for food storage.
LegendThe Dalles Campground is a nice pleasant campground with 10 sites along Rock Creek. Situated in a mature lodge pole pine forest all the site have plenty of shade. All sites have picnic tables and metal fire rings. Site has a water hand pump and ADA vault toilet. Site 1 was interesting as you have to walk up an embankment to reach the site, which makes it not visible from the campground road. A bear proof locker is available for food storage. Being along Rock Creek gives those who wish to fish access to the blue ribbon stream with brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Cost is $6 per night. All the sites are nicely spread apart. The road to Dalles campground is not recommended for RVs of trailers as it get pretty bumpy after the pavement ends, this only get worse the further you travel down the road, but is doable if you drive very slow.
TravelerPulled off i-90 for a stop, plenty of campsites available. Able to reserve online thru recreation.gov as well as first come first serve. saw maybe 4 other cars. Only downside is proximity to freeway and loud train. Would go off multiple times throughout the night waking us up every time. Well maintained, plenty of restrooms they were closed though but a bear box and dumpster were available for trash/food storage.
LegendHarry's Flat campground is a great campground along Rock Creek, set in a huge old growth ponderosa pine forest. The sites are large, especially the ones bordering right up to Rock Creek. The campground has 15 campsites each with Picnic tables and metal fire rings. The campground has vault toilets and a few bear lockers for food storage, water is available. Not all the campsites were available during my visit as about 1/2 the campground was closed due to damage during the heavy spring and early summer rains. This is a great spot for people interested in doing some fishing, as Rock Creek is a blue ribbon stream, with brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Cost is $6 per night, first come first served.
LegendThis has to be one of the most peaceful campgrounds I’ve even been to. It’s 10 miles off the main road so there is no street noise to speak of. But watch out for the cows as you drive in, they aren’t too fond of sharing the road. Only 8 sites with a host at one of them, you don’t have many neighbors. I was not able to camp here as it was totally full and according to the host, was going to stay that way for the week. He said it stays quiet except when a family with kids show up. He also said the fishing was pretty good in Copper Creek. The vault toilet was clean (his least favorite job), he will split a log or two if you ask real nice like, and there are two bear boxes for the 8 sites to share (he said most don’t bother to use them). The water pump delivers good clean spring water from the well. Every site has a picnic table and a fire ring. If you want solitude and quiet, this is the place to camp!
GuideGreat place to stay. First come first stay 8 day max stay. Vault toilets, picnic table, sites are spread out. $18 dollars per day
LegendMonture Creek Fishing Access site is a nice small campground/fishing access site with five campsites. Two just off of Hwy 200 and three more back away from the highway. Monture Creek has good trout fishing with the creek being only about 100 feet from the campsites. One vault toilet serves the fishing access and camping area. Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Sites 1, 2 and 3 sit far enough back that the large pine trees do a pretty good job of blocking most of the highway noise. Like all the fishing access sites with camping in the state, the nightly rate is based on if you have a fishing license and are a Montana resident or not. This is a trash-in, trash-out site and no water is available so come prepared.
