    Moose Creek Campground

    Quiet and Private

    There was no sign for this campsite on the highway. I just pulled off the highway where it said access to National Forest, and it appeared fairly close to the highway. There were only half a dozen sites or so, and no amenities. And of course, no cost. I think the actual Moose Creek Campground is farther up the road and away from the highway. But this was perfect for someone who is caravaning and needed a quick place to stop. It's right on the creek and it was delightful. There was one other camper in there the evening I was there.

    Quiet, small, cozy little get away

    Small areas. there is a vaulted toilet. I had a camper so never used it so I can’t comment on that. Meet up with friends and we all had campers. Plenty of room for all of us. Lots of mosquitoes so bring bug spray!!

    Beautiful campground. Space between most sites. Road noise during the day, but not overly bothersome. Camp host on site and very friendly.

    Not Bad

    Only six spots right off the road. We stayed on site #5, which I believe is the most spacious. Being right off the road is not an issue, there's not much traffic to hear.  A creek is on the other side of the road which is relaxing to hear all night. The one out house is nice and clean. No bear boxes so put food in vehicles.

    Nobody there

    Friday night and not a soul in sight. Like other reviews- very open. Staying on the outside provides better privacy, but with no one there - lots of privacy.

    A rest stop where you can actually spend the night. No fire rings, but a park like atmosphere. Road noise disappears at night.

    Great spot for water and relaxation

    Minor noise from the road. Many spots were available. Got some fresh spring water from one of the spigots. Very clean and clear skies. Next to an airport, but absolutely no traffic.

    Wonderful City Park

    It was 94 degrees when we pulled into town and electric for AC is absolutely required. For $20 we have a nice level, gravel site with 30/50 amp service. No hookups for water or sewer but that isn't necessary for an overnight stay. Each campsite has a picnic table. We even had a site with a tree that gave a little shade.

    This is one of the nicest small town parks I have ever experienced. The play area for children is five star. Rodeo grounds, volleyball net, soccer field are just a short walk from the campsites. The bathrooms are clean and have flushing toilets. Showers are not available.

    Ackley Lake State Park Campground

    Absolutely beautiful

    So beautiful. Found it randomly passing through, just looking for a place to stay for the night. So much wildlife on our drive to it, in the fieds that surround the lake. They only have 26 spots, first come first serve. So we were skeptical at first thinking we might not find a spot. But there was plenty of room. And all of the campsites are right on the water. I would stay there again for sure. No hook ups. only $24 a night for out of state residents. Well worth it to me for the beauty.

    Adequate

    This was a one night pass though. There are lean-to's with picnic table and fire ring. Vault toliets, no water. No trees and the other campsites are very close. When the wind is blowing you take the brunt of it since there is not trees.

    Nice little campground

    We were here on June 17, 2022. It was somewhat crowded but we managed to snag a spot for our 38’ fifth wheel. They have a ten day limit on your stay which is free. No electric but they do have some water spigots spaced throughout. Our AT&T has 2-3 bars of data and running 13 mbps. No designated sites just find a place to park.

    Great harbor in a storm!

    Perfect place to duck into and park during high winds/rain. Extremely clean restroom. Be aware, Waze directed me to a totally different place but Google Maps pointed me to the exact location. You just find a place on the grass or in an actual site and be sure to honor them with a donation!

    Full hookups for $38. Sites are average size. I have a 38-ft travel trailer and I had to unhook to fit in the space. The sites are not incredibly level. But for an overnight stop it works great. Easy in and out

    We stayed here one night on our way back to Texas after picking up our new rig. There was no other campers but a great park and very reasonably price. We would like to come back again some day. Highly recommend for a short stay.

    Muchwater Campground

    Holy moly

    Muchwater is a dispersed camping spot just north of St Regis, MT. It is located in the LoLo National Forest. It is nestled along side the Clark Fork River. This area is amazing! The campsites are huge with plenty of room for an rv or 5'er. We had a spot right next to the river which allowed for easy access. Plenty of trails to explore, but beware, this is HEAVY bear country. There are plenty of animal trails too. Please do not leave food out, children or pets unattended. The sunset off the river is magnificent. This area is FCFS, zero cell service, and has no facilities. The only downside is the train that goes by in the night. It will wake you as it feels like an earthquake, but it is definitely worth staying here.

    Sad

    This use to be the most beautiful campgrounds in Montana, until the USFS said the trees were dangerous. They had every tree in the campgrounds cut down and hauled off. Not much privacy now as every camp site can be watched by all the other campers in the other campsites.

    Dispersed site 9210

    Disperse campsites at part of former Indian Hill Campground

    Disperse camping area 9210 is a two site camping area, with each site having a picnic table and metal fire ring.  This is at the site of the former Indian Hills Campground which was decommissioned a few years ago.  All of the campground was removed on the opposite side of the creek.  The forest service left the first two sites for disperse camping.  You can find the site by turning at the sign for forest road 9210, which goes for only a couple hundred feet to the two camp sites.  Both sites are quite nice and sit among very large trees and along side the creek.  An information sign is at the site.

    Hay Canyon

    Hay "Free" Canyon Camping

    Hay Canyon Campground is a free six site (Forest service says 7) campsite in a narrow canyon among large mature trees.  This site is broken in to two sections with three sites each.  The first section is easy to find, the second is just around the bend on the main road on a road to the right which has three more sites.  The campground has picnic tables and metal fire rings at all the sites. A vault toilet serves the campground.  No water or trash service so come prepared.  The site nearest to the vault toilet is a amazingly large site, three picnic tables a large metal fire ring and the biggest BBQ grill I have ever seen in a campground.  Getting this site is just awesome even at the high price of nothing to camp here.  The second section of campsites do require a bit of a walk to get to the vault toilet but their is a faint trail short cutting the road walk.

    The only option!

    This is the only RV park in the area. Sites are big. Park struggles with emptying garbage and dog waste containers in a timely manner. Two employees…one was friendly and accommodating, the manager was absolutely horrible - she treated us and several other campers very poorly.
