Best Tent Camping near Floweree, MT

Tent camping near Floweree, Montana primarily consists of boat-accessible primitive sites along the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. Popular locations include Eagle Creek Developed Boat Camp and Hole-in-the-Wall Boat Camp, both accessible only by watercraft. For hikers seeking tent sites, Sluice Boxes State Park offers walk-in tent camping without designated sites or facilities, approximately 50 miles southwest of Floweree.

Most primitive tent sites along the Upper Missouri River feature natural terrain with minimal site development. Campers must pack in all supplies including drinking water, as no potable water sources exist at these locations. Fire rings are available at developed boat camps like Eagle Creek and Hole-in-the-Wall, while primitive boat camps may have limited or no established fire areas. Vault toilets are present only at the developed boat camps. All locations require strict adherence to Leave No Trace principles, with all waste packed out. One camper noted that "even on weekends, sites remained peaceful."

Cottonwood groves provide natural shade at several riverside tent camping locations, particularly at Eagle Creek and Lone Tree Campground. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "Large cottonwoods provide shade and good locations to set up a hammock. Plenty of room to set up tents." Most sites offer excellent hiking opportunities, with Eagle Creek featuring a slot canyon trail and Hole-in-the-Wall providing access to unique geological formations. For more accessible tent camping, Lowry Bridge Access Site offers primitive tent sites with picnic tables and trash collection, though without toilets or water. Seasonal considerations include high water levels during spring runoff, which can limit access to some primitive camping areas along the river.

    Thain Creek

    Legit.

    This place is pretty neat. 12 permanent campsites each with a fire ring and picnic table. Potable water and vault toilets are also available on site. We stayed for a weekend and had the place to ourselves. Easy access to plenty of hiking and decent fishing. Definitely worth checking out.

    Eagle Creek Developed Boat Camp

    Nice campground with great hiking oppertunity

    Located in the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument at river mile 56.0. Eagle Creek is a very popular camping location on the river. The site has two vault toilets and five metal fire rings, several more rock fire rings are also available. Large cottonwoods provide shade and good locations to set up a hammock. Plenty of room to set up tents. Good hiking through a slot canyon is possible. Lewis and Clark camped near here on the other side of Eagle Creek on May 31, 1805.

    Freezout Lake - Dispersed Camping

    Flat open and free

    Freeze Out Lake Waterfowl Manage Area's campground it a free campground.  If you wish to camp here be prepared for more of a disperse camping experience.  While the site does have a vault toilet that is about it.  "sites" are not labeled and appear mainly to be by rows of brush.  Each site is a large flat grassy area.  A few of the spots do have picnic tables but most don't.  Fires are not allowed in the camping area.  This is a trash-in/Trash-out campground.   You will also need to bring your own water as no water is available.  If you enjoy bird watching then you are in luck, plenty can be found at the lake and ponds.  Only two others were at the campground on my visit.  Campground is next to the highway but traffic appeared light.  If the campground where to be busy and you didn't get a spot with a picnic table you could take advantage of the parking areas in the area, their are several a short distance from the campground which have plenty of picnic tables to have a meal at.

    Hole-in-the-Wall Boat Camp

    Nice camp with shelters

    Nice developed camp site at river mile 63.0 on the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. Site has two vault toilets and four metal fire ring, no tables but several benches. Shelters provide the only shade for the camp. Just down river is Hole-in-the-Wall. Nice trail leads to the hole-in-the-wall. To get to trail canoe down river another 0.8 mile, stopping at the first large cottonwood, you will find a trail here.

    Great Falls KOA

    City Camping Tucked Away

    You have to drive through part of Great Falls, Montana to get to this campground, but once you are in it, you forget all about the city. You get the full camping (in a campground) experience, but you can easily drive into the city to pick up whatever you forgot to pack.

    Our site was in what they call a tent village, which is a nice roundabout of tent sites. There are walls separating the sites for privacy, but the area is big enough for your vehicle and a large tent, or multiple smaller tents. Toward the middle of the roundabout is a covered area, including a table, counter, electrical outlets, and a large cabinet that can be locked with a padlock. The tent villages are very close to a nice restroom/showers that require a key code to get in.
