    Welcome to Vigilante Campground at Bannack State Park! This spot is a gem for anyone who loves a mix of history and nature. Nestled next to Grasshopper Creek, this campground offers a serene setting with plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. The creek is a great spot for fly fishing, so bring your gear and try your luck.

    One of the standout features here is the proximity to Bannack Ghost Town. This old mining town is like stepping back in time, with buildings that have been stabilized but not restored, giving you an authentic glimpse into the past. You can explore almost every building, and if you time your visit right, you might catch some reenactments with volunteers dressed in period clothing. It's a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the history of Montana's first territorial capital.

    The campground itself is pretty straightforward but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are vault toilets, a community water faucet, and trash bins. While there are no electric or sewer hookups, the sites are spacious enough to accommodate big rigs and trailers. Just make sure to empty your tanks and stock up on supplies in Dillon before you arrive. If you need firewood, the friendly camp host has you covered.

    For those who prefer a bit more comfort, there's even a tipi available for rent. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just be prepared for the mosquitos, especially with the creek nearby.

    Overall, Vigilante Campground offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue, making it a must-visit spot for campers of all ages.
