Located just west of Lewistown with easy highway access, the park provides clean restrooms, potable water, and a 10-day maximum stay limit. Pets must be leashed, and waste collection stations are available throughout the grounds. Mountain Acres RV Park and Campground allows dogs with designated pet areas and waste bags provided. Full hookup sites accommodate RVs with pets, though some reviewers note occasional issues with timely emptying of dog waste containers. The grass areas at Kiwanis provide space for pets to stretch their legs between travel days.

Pet owners can access several hiking opportunities near Crystal Lake Campground, where wildlife sightings are common and trails surrounding the lake welcome leashed dogs. The Ed McGivern Memorial Park Campground sits on East Fork Reservoir with pet-friendly sites spaced well apart, offering $5 tent camping and $10 RV/trailer camping with a 14-day limit. Many campers report seeing deer directly at their campsites, requiring careful pet management. The short trail circling Crystal Lake provides an ideal dog walking route with meadows full of wildflowers during summer months. Lewistown's location offers access to multiple nearby camping options with varying pet amenities, though during peak season availability can be limited at the more popular sites.

    Crystal Lake Campground

    Beautiful

    I love this place so much. This was my first time camping in Montana. It was breathtaking for me. The lake was so peaceful and clear. The trail around the lake is a nice walk to see all the different views around it. The meadows were full of wildflowers in the summer. The campground is a small loop and spaced out, the lake trail also had a couple of backcountry spots to set up. There’s also a few more trails in the area that were very pretty!!

    Mountain Acres Mobile Home Park and Campground

    Nice for the week

    Stayed here for the week while traveling through the area. They have laundry, showers, bathrooms, WiFi and sites have full hookups. Most people staying were only there for a night or two passing through. They allow dogs and do have a pet area with bags to pick up after your pet. The rv park is right off of a fairly busy street, but it did not seem to bother us during the evening.

    Kiwanis Park

    Camp for free in Lewistown Montana

    The Lewistown Kiwanis provide a rest area and free campground to travels on the west end of town next to the airport. This camping area has no fee(they will take your donation to help with upkeep of the site), but does have restrooms with running water, several frost-frees are in the camping area to provide water, and trash cans are found at the restrooms. The camping area does not have numbered sites, but there are 12 concrete picnic tables, 6 of those are covered. No campfires at this campground. Their is plenty of room for camping even if all the tables are taken. Camping is limited to 10 nights. The airport is small so you will have very little aircraft noise, most noise will be from State Hwy 200/U.S. Hwy 87, but since the speed limit is 45mph noise from cars and trucks will be slight.

    Chief Joseph City Park

    A delightful refuge.

    A very nice small town town campground east of Montana’s front range. Several level pull-through RV sites with electricity. Dumpster and water hydrant near by in the campground. Large new community playground adjacent to the RV sites. Sparsely used in October/November. 14 day limit. We look forward to staying here again.

    Kiwanis Park

    Decent

    Not too bad for a quick overnight stay. Right next to the highway so lots of traffic. The grass is nice but they are having a problem with prairie dogs. Restrooms were clean!

    Chief Joseph Campground

    Basic but nice and quiet

    This campground is on the edge of Harlowton. A small town that has very adequate basic services. The campground is in the city park / rodeo grounds. Very quiet. Clean. If you have dogs go out the south entrance where the is a rails to trails walkway. Nice for human and k-nines alike. Only electric at the sites. But there is a dump station Anna potable water spigot. Our kind of campground. Only draw back would be when the Rodeo is in progress. It would be one hopping place then. We have stayed here in July and first of October. Beautiful and pleasant both times.

    Crystal Lake Cabin

    Crystal Lake is mostly gone

    Allegedly, Crystal Lake drained into a limestone fissure in the earth. Bummer. But it's still an insanely beautiful area with hikes up to a year-round ice cave! The area is a mountain oasis in North Central Montana.

    Ackley Lake State Park Campground

    Nice area, no shade

    Nice area, refreshing swim.. Could be more shade. Limited fire pits but lots of space. Free for Montana residents!
