    Zurich Park

    Secret little gem

    Found this on the Dyrt. About a mile off the main road. A beautiful little park with about 10-12 electric 30 and 50 amp. It’s free to camp if you don’t have electric and $30 for electric. The playground looked amazing. A nice hike up over the hill to a nice pond.

    Okay for a Short Stay

    We followed our GPS into Havre(pronounced Hav-er). When we got to US-2 coming in from the south on US-87, the GPS wanted us to go left where in actuality, you need to turn right and go through Havre as the Campground (CG) is 7 miles out of town on US-2 East. The CGs website instructions tell you about this GPS error. There were no issues with check-in and we headed to pull through site 15 with FHUs. The utilities are near the middle of the very-long gravel and soft dirt pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi but we got some sulfur smell and taste even with our three way filter system. We got 4 bars on Verizon. Most of the sewer connections are extended well out of the ground, so you will have to get your sewer hose up so that gravity flows at least level. This is essentially a large gravel, some grass, and weed parking lot, but the sites are decently spaced apart. There are no trees, so we didn’t have a problem with Starlink. During the day, theres a lot of US-2 road and train noise as the tracks run parallel to US-2. At night, the highway noise goes way down but there are still trains. We enjoyed the farm animals and especially the male peacock that was strutting around with feathers all spread out, which we found out is called train rattling. We tried several times to log into their WiFi during our two day stay, but never connected. This CG worked okay for our short stay.

    Perfect adventure site while passing through Montana

    Pull through sites with full hook ups and easy access. There's a small dog park, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and the place is nestled between the hills of Northern Montana. Perfect stopping place before crossing the border into Canada!

    Stunning views, local party spot

    Spectacular views from a few campsites on top of the walls, well spread out areas and definitely big rig friendly spots.

    Lots of bottles and garbage on the beach from party's and around 2am some locals rolled through in louder trucks right past our spot.

    Convenient to town

    Right on Highway 2 so a little noisy. Limited pet area. Not everyone picks up after their dog. Water and power easy hook up, but sewer has to be run under RV.

    River Run - Fresno Reservoir USBR

    Actually called Jaycees Bay

    This is a small beach campground on the first left past the reservoir bridge at the end of the road. There will be signs. We just pulled up and pitched a tent. There's a pit toilet at the top of the hill. Was pretty empty and unclear on camping rules, but we were told by locals that it was fine and no one would bother us if we camped there. Right on the water, great sunset/sunrise. Other boaters use this spot as boat ramp area.

    Nice free spot on the hi-line

    If you're on Hwy 2 and just need a place to rest for the night, this will do. Stopped here after Labor Day and had the tent area to pretty much to myself until some kids showed up to party at the pavilion. We had a couple beers around the cool fire pit in there. I'd give it 3 stars because the ground was hard and uneven, but the pavilion bumps it up to a four.

    Coal Banks Landing

    Enrty way the Upper Missouri Breaks

    I have been to Coal Banks Landing to put in on river trips. It can be a busy spot at times with people starting canoe trips on the Missouri River. But it is a great destination on its own. I arrived on a Saturday night in August looking for a place to camp. I found the campground mostly empty and very quiet. It was a stormy day with rain and strong winds up on the plateau above the river. But the campground is down by the river and sheltered from the wind. It was very quiet and comfortable. The campground is also clean and well tended. All in all, a great spot.

    Cute little zoo

    Nice little zoo at the campground. All sites are pull through and full hook ups. No shade. Which kinda stunk when it was 100 degrees out. They do nightly, weekly and monthly rates.

    Beautiful spot on water

    Beautiful spot on the water, there were several dispersed camping spots to choose from around the lake. Some of them are very difficult to access with a larger rig. Only reason for 4 stars is because the locals have no respect for campers, they just drive right up and spend the afternoon drinking and carrying on right infront of our spot.

    Great spacious campground with animals for the kids to enjoy!

    This was a fun, unexpected stop. Unfortunately it's a bit in the middle of no where, Montana, but we were delighted none the less. They have chickens and ducks and geese, goats, and donkeys. You can feed them and visit with them. The sites are huge. No big trees, and right by the highway and train tracks. But it was peaceful and restful, and just what our family needed to recharge. Bonus that they took our Good Sam membership!

    Soft ground that our jacks sunk in, and the whole park was "reserved"

    As a Community Park, it's supposed to be "first come first served." We arrived around 4:15, only to be met by other guests letting us know that they reserved 8 of the spots with hookups (apparently now there's more spots with electric), but that we could take the spot on the end (vs. the open sites on the grass, even though we were there first and no one was there yet). So we backed into the one site to not cause drama, only to find that a trench had been recently dug right through the drive of the site. Our neighbors told us it was in their site, too, and that the dirt was not packed. Our fifth wheel jacks (regardless of having blocks and Snap Pads) sunk about 8 inches into the dirt, and we couldn't get anything level. So we had to leave and go back down the highway to get to a nicer RV park. 

    We didn't expect much since it was a $10 a night Community Park, but definitely didn't expect to be told by other guests that they "reserved the whole place", be told to go into a spot our rig barely fit in even though other sites were open, and then find a recently dug trench that totally sank our RV. I gave it two starts because you can tell it's a pretty park, and had we just been able to park it on the grass, we should have been just fine.

    Havre RV Park and Travel Plaza

    Pleasant stop on the way to Glacier.

    Havre was our last quick stop on the way to Glacier National Park. This RV park is a small asphalt parking lot next to the convenience store and Conoco gas station. The middle sites are parallel parking for big rigs and back in sites for the smaller trailers or Class C’s. Our 28 ft Class A with tow fit just fine. I think larger rigs would be challenged. The sewer hook up is in the road under our rig so we pulled out slightly and dumped when we left to avoid climbing under to hook up. Paid $58 with an AARP discount. A little high for this park.

    Internet only available at the store. I used the laundry that is more general public vs reserved for campers. There were a couple long term residents and a few seasonal while we stayed. Otherwise, we had nobody around us which made the space maneuvering easy.

    Everything went smooth with staff and check in. The park sits between on Route 2 and the rail yard. Surprisingly, we weren’t othered by any noise.

    We took the day to explore the town. Beneath the street historical tour was a blast back to the past and how the town survived a devastating fire. We toured Fort Assinniboine located 10 miles out of town. More great history and testament to how tough is was on the wild frontier.

    Solid choice, no surprises

    While small and not that scenic, this is a professional outfit that makes things easy.  It's small enough to chat with neighbors and big enough to have your own space and get a good night's sleep.  There are trees and bushes all around the border, giving it a cozy, private feel.  When I talked to an employee about the water tasting bad (I believe it was something like sulfur), she explained it was natural and not unhealthy, which was confirmed by a local friend.  Great part of the country with lots to do.  I appreciate low-fuss/no-fuss places like this.

    What a gem!!!

    Stopped here on our way to Glacier NP. Pulled in on a Sunday and there was only 1 other camper in the area. We found a beautiful site overlooking the reservoir. Would definitely come back. I can see where it would get busy on a weekend. The road in and out is hilly and has a bit of washboarding, we made it in and out without any problems

    Fresno Tailwater

    Nice spot for a quick overnight

    This is the best of several boondocking options around the Fresno Reservoir. We were the only ones here on a weeknight (right before the 4th of July). There are several choices, including some with shade under the cottonwood trees you so often find near rivers. There’s also a flat concrete pad that would work well for a big RV. You could pitch a tent here if you wanted to. The access is good - about 2.5 miles from Hwy. 2. The dirt road is a little washboard but no big potholes. Verizon phone service was excellent. You’re right next to the dam outflow so not really a good place for swimming, but it looks like people like to fish here.

    Very nice stopover between Glacier and North Dakota

    Very nice clean and convenient campsite off Hwy 2 in Montana. Best part, free and plenty of space available even during this busy time. There were only two campers when we got here, and we’re the only ones left today. A few mosquitos at night though. Oh, and a nice playground for the kids!

    Hikes and pictographs

    Pretty nice shaded campsite. There are two hiking opportunities here. The first is the awesome Neat Coulee Canyon where it’s a short hike with small climbing (and bigger climbing opportunities; pretty risky). There are also pictographs in the opposite direction of the campsite to the canyon. It is kinda hard to find, but look for reddish rock near a juniper. I’ve attached a photo of the area from the spot where the pictographs are. Safe travels!

    Cool dog

    It’s a nice clean campsite to begin your boating adventure on the river with lots of space. The cabin has free WiFi to finish up work before heading into nature. The bathrooms are pretty average for outhouses as well. Also, if your lucky, the camp’s doggo May visit you. He is free to pet!

    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.
