    Beaverhead National Forest Price Creek Campground

    In love with this national forest!

    Lovely camp grounds, this was a last minute decision and so glad we stayed here. Nice level spot with picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms with pit toilets but no running water or showers. No hookups...Plenty of spots available and it was peaceful. We like to be spread out from our neighbors and you are here!

    It is also close to Coolidge ghost town if you want to check it out. That is ultimately what brought up out this way and what a neat place to hike!

    Campfire Lodge Resort

    Perhaps the nicest campground we have stayed at.

    Let's be honest, Campfire Lodge & RV is not the cheapest place to stay. And, it's obvious why when you stay there. The upkeep is top notch. The RV pads are graded roadbase. Fire pits and tables for each spot. the spot we stayed in had full 30 amp hook-ups. Tall pine trees. And, a stones throw from the Madison River. What an amazing place to sit and relax. 

    The cafe is open for breakfast and lunch. Bring your appetite and prepare yourself for an amazing breakfast or lunch. If you're a fly tyer the collection of hackle is off the charts. 

    Close to Yellowstone NP, fishing on the Madison River, exploring West Yellowstone to Ennis Montana and so much more! What a great place. We'll be back for sure.

    Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park — Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park

    Beautiful campground in a Montana State Park

    This campground was a pleasant surprise. We had initially planned to camp at Glacier but were thwarted by fire and smoke. We booked this campground when we arrived at the State Park, no problem. The road circles the campground. There are five loops inside the outer road, with about 7 campsites per loop, and the playground and bathrooms in the center. The sites have electric hookups. We were able to fill our water tanks with spigots centrally located throughout the campground, but could not keep it connected. No sewer, but the bathroom is very convenient. The site was level with a fire pit and very spacious. The State Park was awesome. We went hiking and the cave tour was great. They have two souvenir stores and one cafe near the cave. We stayed there for 4 nights which was perfect for what we had planned. Would highly recommend.

    Missouri Headwaters State Park Campground

    Great one night stop spot!

    On our way to Montana we stopped here for a first come first serve spot for the night. They had one outhouse bathroom and although it says they have a water fill up station we couldn’t find one. Probably the most amount of mosquitoes I’ve ever seen at a campsite due to the marshy environment around the sites but, still beautiful. Make sure you have lots of bug spray or clothes that cover your arms and legs. Campsite includes a picnic table and fire pit. No bear boxes and no bears. The camp host was extremely nice and had firewood for sale.

    Spire Rock Campground

    Great spot

    I showed up here late one night on my way to Big Sky and was lucky enough to get a spot. There are plenty of amenities such as toilets, fire pits, and tables. If you are looking to do some night photography there are some great spots just along the river, which the campground borders, that provide some breathtaking views. There can be a bit of noise in the morning with people heading up the road for off road fun but overall this is a great little spot tucked away just off the highway.

    Langohr Campground

    Cute Little Campground with Just the Right Amenities

    About 20 minutes south of Bozeman, MT on scenic Hyalite Canyon Road sits Langohr Campground. There are 19 spacious single sites and the 20th site is a group picnic site for day use. Langohr Campground runs along Hyalite Creek and is tucked inside Custer Gallatin National Forest in a small open meadow with Douglas fir, Lodgepole pine, and Englemann Spruce. 

    I was fortunate to find a campsite as a walk-in even after arriving mid-afternoon at the beginning of June 2019 because it was too late to reserve online. Each site does have a picnic table and fire ring, and electrical sites are available. Some are drive-in or back into sites, and a few are literally next to Hyalite Creek which is an added bonus. A heavy snowfall occurred a week before and remnants of it were scattered along the campground. Good thing I brought a snow scraper to clear the picnic table of snow. The fee is $20.00 per campsite for two vehicles and $8.00 for any additional vehicles. The group picnic site is $45.00 for day use. I paid cash for the site, but I believe you may also pay by credit card.

    Many of the campers were settling in and had parked RVs and pop-ups. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash as wildlife such as bears, deers, moose, and elk frequent the area. Bear lockers should be used for food storage or properly stored in vehicles. There are huge bear safe trash and recycling containers near the entrance for campers to use. The bathroom is clean, free of odor and bugs, and it is a vault toilet. There are no showers, dump station, or camp store, but you are close to Bozeman.  The camp host was settled on site 11 and sells firewood for $6.00. You can take a walk along the Hyalite Creek or drive 3.5 miles south down to Hyalite Reservoir for other activities such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, hiking, and boating. The night sky was pretty spectacular especially with the trees around on a clear day.

    Beaver Creek Campground

    30 Min. From Yellowstone

    After spending the day driving between Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, we were anxious to arrive, set up camp and crack a beer. Unfortunately, our plans of an early arrival were delayed significantly due to animals near and or/on the road leaving on the park. Oh well - if you’re going to be stuck in slow traffic, Yellowstone is the place to do it!

    From West Yellowstone, the campground is about a half hour drive along the beautiful Hebgen Lake. The camp hosts were very kind and accommodating. They gave us a few tips about tenting in bear country, and advised us to look out for a few moose who inhabit the grounds. 

    Our site (C22) was surprisingly quiet and secluded despite being in the middle of the loop. While we didn’t have our own bear locker, there was one nearby which appeared to be communal. Our site was large, with lots of options for tent placement, and a nice picnic table. Don’t forget to pack bug/bear spray!

    Three Forks KOA Journey

    Quiet hours strictly enforced

    Got in late (after 9), but they where nice enough to give us a tent site to camp in. Amenities are nice, but my only negative for us was that quiet hours where at 10pm and a lot of their guest go to sleep at that time, so they enforce that rule. If you are looking for a quiet place after 10 though, this is a great spot.

Guide to Virginia City

The dispersed camping areas near Virginia City, Montana sit at elevations between 5,000-6,000 feet in the Tobacco Root Mountains, creating cool summer nights even when daytime temperatures rise. Access roads to many sites become snow-covered and impassable from late October through May, with spring conditions often muddy and rutted due to snowmelt.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park offers convenient access to the Jefferson River, where anglers can target trout and whitefish. "Easy access from I-90. Would stay again mid-week or off season, but during prime time I'd prefer a bit more seclusion," notes Jeff K. who camped there.

Cave exploration: The main attraction at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park involves touring limestone caves with stalactites and stalagmites. "Amazing family campsite with amenities, gift shop and stores. For small children it's quite a hike for them, they do get fatigued on the way, there are pit stops along the hill with shade for rest," reports Carla S.

Historical sites: Missouri Headwaters State Park preserves the area where Lewis and Clark camped in 1805. A visitor noted, "Experience camping near where Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery camped at the headwaters of the Missouri river in 1805... If you are a history buff or just want to learn about the Corps of Discovery journey then this is a must stay."

What campers like

Mountain views: Wade Lake Campground offers exceptional scenery with turquoise water surrounded by mountains. One camper described it as "Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches – surrounded by mountains in the middle of Montana, this place has absolutely stunning scenery."

Waterfront sites: Several campgrounds feature sites directly on rivers or lakes. At Red Cliff Campground, "Half the sights back up to the river. Sights 1-26 have electric, and all sights feel private," according to camper Soren B. who enjoyed the location.

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate adequate spacing between campsites. A Red Cliff visitor noted, "We stayed 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."

What you should know

Bear safety requirements: At Beaver Creek Campground near Yellowstone, bear-proof food storage is essential. "The camp hosts were very kind and accommodating. They gave us a few tips about tenting in bear country, and advised us to look out for a few moose who inhabit the grounds," reports Gia R.

Mosquitoes near water: Missouri Headwaters State Park can have significant mosquito activity in summer months. A camper warned, "When the sun sets in June and July the mosquitos will come out. They are quite nasty but an hour after sunset they are gone, having a campfire going helps too."

Road conditions: Access to some glamping options requires preparation. For Spire Rock Campground, one visitor cautioned, "The area is stunning, but we could not get to the campground. Our campervan felt like it was going to tip over because of the ruts. Will try again in a car someday."
