"Lots to do nearby: hot pots, Virginia City, Nevada City. Rich history with gold boom in the 1940s. Good restaurants nearby. Many businesses close midweek, either Tuesday or Wednesday or both."
"Really nice RV Park just on the edge of town. Overlooks a bluff with gorgeous view. Nice level gravel parking pads with a grass rectangle beside each spot."
$12 - $18 / night
"Small fishing access campground near Ennis MT. Sites are fairly large. Montana residents get a nice rate but even for out of state only $18/night. Quiet, mainly fly fishing campers here."
"We were looking for someplace for the night close to Ennis and were glad to find this spot. There are only 10 sites but all on the river and most decently spaced."
$72 / night
"Rode our bikes to Virginia City -lots of fun!"
"Lovely campground, maintained, super nice and attentive owners.. we got the overview of Virginia City and a local mine. Had a great time there."
"There are a few smaller sites right next to the river, which are close to the road. Further down, there are a few more spots with more space, but from those spots it's a short walk to the river."
"Lovely Devils Creek to walk along and a local hike to a mountain summit from just outside the campground. Easy access, though a drive needed to either side of Glacier NP."
"This campground is conveniently located near downtown Ennis, Montana. While you're close enough to town to run and get coffee in the morning, your spot will feel tucked back by the river."
"Great access to the Madison river. The site is very busy from all of the fishing traffic and there is some noise being this close to town."
"This campsite has loads to offer ~ there is access to the reservoir, of course, and along with this comes the garnets lining the shores."
"Be prepared for steep inclines in some situations. While it was quiet people wise, I’m pretty sure you can hear the dam because we had rumbling noise that woke both of us up."
$35 - $55 / night
"Close proximity to Virginia and Nevada cities. Obviously a former KOA with all the accompanying amenities, but slightly lower price. A little close to highway, but quiet at night. Will stay again!"
"With no need for hookups, we paid a mere $28 for a roomu site adjacent to the water. My wife appreciated that the restrooms and shower are a short walk and I love the serenity and space."
"Seven sites, most lakeside. Boat ramp and bathroom facilities."
"With the Madison river spots filling up fast Ennis lake usually has spots to offer. It is close to some residents but this isn’t a lake in the mountains."
$75 / night
"I have ridden some of the trails and it's a beautiful place to ride deep in the forest surrounding the lake. The trails are clearly visable and very easy to ride."
$33 - $44 / night
"Come for the hot spring and stay steps away in a great tent or RV site! The RV sites have water and electric hook ups, and there is a portable toilet by the tent sites."
"Outside of the hot springs there’s nothing to do at the small campground. They have it well maintained and it is pretty quiet even though it’s on the highway."
RangerThis was our second time staying here, and we really enjoyed it. This time, we camped in the section right along the river with electric hookups—such a great spot. Water is available at nearby spigots, and our site had plenty of space plus a small trail that led down to the river. You can hear some highway noise, but the sound of the river helps balance it out. The vault toilets were kept clean, and many sites have beautiful river views, making this a peaceful and scenic place to camp.
GuideMissouri Headwaters State Park and loved the peaceful setting and natural beauty. We stayed at Site 16, which is at the far end of the campground and felt nicely tucked away. Some other reviews had mentioned heavy mosquitoes at sites 16 and 17, but honestly, it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle with some strong bug spray. Once the sun went down, the mosquitoes pretty much disappeared, and we had no problems at all.
The campground itself is small but well-maintained, with both tent and RV spots. The real highlight is the location—you’re right at the spot where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers come together to form the Missouri River. The area is scenic, peaceful, and full of history with several short walking trails along the water and through the park.
Facilities were clean, and we enjoyed how quiet and relaxing it was. The staff was super polite and helpfull and answered any questions we had about the surrounding areas.
If you’re looking for a quiet place to camp with great views, easy access to rivers, and some interesting history, I definitely recommend Missouri Headwaters State Park.
ScoutLove this spot. Road noise but I love the location to the river. We will be back.
TravelerGreat First Come First Serve campground with clean bathroom, recycling facilities and bear boxes. Nice sites with fire pits and picnic tables. There’s trails throughout campground leading to the creek/ river. Stayed July 1-2. Showed up around 7pm and a few sites open still. We didn’t see any signs of bears but had spray and kept all food in bear boxes. No service. Close drive to reservoir and hiking trail across the street.
GuideLove this site! It was a bit rutted for the 50yds back into the site, but road getting to it was easy and smooth! Great fishing access! Stayed 8 nights, and only large issues we had were solar not having enough exposure (specific to our site) and same sort of issue for our Starlink.
ScoutQuiet, breathtaking view of the creek, mountains and forest. Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful place to camp. About 40 minutes to west Yellowstone entrance
ScoutGreat camp ground sites are spread out along the lake no water or electricity just nature. Sites are large enough for campers, tents etc. most site can have multiple campers. First come first serve. Good out of the way spot.
GuideDefinitely great for a short stay, it is a simple campground with all of the necessities. They have two women’s showers and two men’s showers. I will say to double check your hook ups because I did not realize that I booked partial hookups! So for the price of $75 per night I do find it on the pricey side. They do have a dump station on site though. The kids loved the playground and tons of open grass space and swings throughout, and they also have a pond that you can even fish him on site at the back of the property. The campsites are quite close together, but all in all a great stay! I almost would say this one goes closer to the 4 star mark than 5 for me if that helps. Also some highway noise (we were at the very front though closest to it).
GuideWe chose this place because it broke up a long drive and we generally love a dip in a hot springs.
Campground: The campground is located in the not-so-charming outskirts of Bozeman. The campsites are close together but very tidy. The campground is bounded in part by a road and in part by the fenced hot springs facility and parking lot. Staff are friendly and efficient.
The campground bathrooms were the low point: They looked dingy and over-used — think public restroom at a beach or lake. Most of the grunge we noticed in the bathrooms in the late afternoon was still there in the mid-morning the following day. Meaning the cleaning crew doesn’t visit very often.
Hot springs: The hot springs are part of a popular health club. The busy facilities are modern and clean. There are outdoor pools, surrounded by hardscape, and indoor pools. If you’re happy shoulder to shoulder with a group of strangers in a warm swimming pool this place should please you. If you’re looking for more of a natural hot springs experience, perhaps some scenery while you steam, skip this one. Nice showers, toilets and locker rooms and for $15/person/day you can access the fitness facilities.
