Best Glamping near Lloyd, MT

As a Community Park, it's supposed to be "first come first served." We arrived around 4:15, only to be met by other guests letting us know that they reserved 8 of the spots with hookups (apparently now there's more spots with electric), but that we could take the spot on the end (vs. the open sites on the grass, even though we were there first and no one was there yet). So we backed into the one site to not cause drama, only to find that a trench had been recently dug right through the drive of the site. Our neighbors told us it was in their site, too, and that the dirt was not packed. Our fifth wheel jacks (regardless of having blocks and Snap Pads) sunk about 8 inches into the dirt, and we couldn't get anything level. So we had to leave and go back down the highway to get to a nicer RV park. 

We didn't expect much since it was a $10 a night Community Park, but definitely didn't expect to be told by other guests that they "reserved the whole place", be told to go into a spot our rig barely fit in even though other sites were open, and then find a recently dug trench that totally sank our RV. I gave it two starts because you can tell it's a pretty park, and had we just been able to park it on the grass, we should have been just fine.

I stumbled across Camp Creek Campground summer of '19 when I was having some problems with my slides and needed to stop for the night.  The campground has several very large pull through spots, and folks with horses often pass through.  Upon entering the campground area, a caretakers spot is early on, while no caretaker was employed last year, there is a sanitary dump station at the site, as well as, potable water.  A bit past that is a large area for horse trailer parking, and a corral.   As one progresses down the road,  a large group gathering area is on left of the road, along with parking.  A bit further are large, clean, restroom facilities, and another area for both parking and pulling one's rig through to load up on water.  Continuing down the road are numerous camping spots, most are smaller.  However, a the end of the loop are two large spots big enough to pull a large fifth wheel or motorhome through.  A further two or three large back in sites are there as well.  A small stream runs through the back area, and endless hiking / horseback riding trails are in this area as well.  Further, there is another hookup one can fill their tanks with potable water (no sites have water hookups on site, except the caretakers).  When I was there in late July, the campground was maybe 1/3 full.  We ended up staying three nights.  

Drawbacks:  there are four to note.  First, while the sites are well kept, those with very wide RV's (mine is 92") or high (mine is 13') will find branches to be bothersome at best.  In my case I made a decision some time ago that I was going to be careful, but my rig was going to get used in the great outdoors, and that meant getting a scratch from time to time.  I fully realize when one is paying $60k - $500k and more, that may be somewhat less than desirable.  And while there are several good sized spaces, I wouldn't try bringing in anything longer than 36' (mine is 33).   Second, the road in is rather long, a good gravel road, but gravel (and dusty) none the less.  If one gets caught in the rain this area is well known for it's gumbo roads … they can be very miserable.  Third, a local told me that the place was heaven nearly all season … except .. during hunting season.   He used some rather colorful language to depict the camping environment during those six weeks or so in late fall.  Fourth, if you have a problem you are a long way from help, and there is no cell service.   All that said, this is a wonderful campground, great for kids and Old Goats like me.

While small and not that scenic, this is a professional outfit that makes things easy.  It's small enough to chat with neighbors and big enough to have your own space and get a good night's sleep.  There are trees and bushes all around the border, giving it a cozy, private feel.  When I talked to an employee about the water tasting bad (I believe it was something like sulfur), she explained it was natural and not unhealthy, which was confirmed by a local friend.  Great part of the country with lots to do.  I appreciate low-fuss/no-fuss places like this.
