Zurich Park and Camp Creek Campground offer diverse glamping in Lloyd, Montana, with options ranging from electrical hookups under mature cottonwoods to secluded sites near hiking trails. Located along Montana's Hi-Line region at approximately 2,600 feet elevation, these campgrounds provide seasonal accommodations that withstand temperature fluctuations common to northern Montana's continental climate. Winter temperatures can drop below zero while summer days reach the 90s.
What to do
Horseback riding trails: Camp Creek Campground provides extensive trail networks for equestrians with dedicated horse trailer parking and corral facilities. "A local told me that the place was heaven nearly all season... a wonderful campground, great for kids and Old Goats like me," notes Clayton B. about Camp Creek Campground.
OHV adventures: The area offers terrain suitable for side-by-side vehicles and ATVs. "There's tons of trails to ride side by sides. The campground is clean and the sites have plenty of space for our 28ft toy hauler," reports Danae P. who visited Camp Creek in May.
Playground activities: Families can utilize recreational facilities at Zurich Park. "The playground looked amazing. A nice hike up over the hill to a nice pond," writes Lisa M. about her experience at Zurich Park.
What campers like
Peaceful seclusion: Less crowded campgrounds provide quiet glamping opportunities. "When I was there in late July, the campground was maybe 1/3 full. We ended up staying three nights," a camper shares about their experience at Camp Creek Campground.
Shaded campsites: Mature trees create natural cooling at several locations. "Just 1 mile off hwy 2. Mature Cottonwood trees and a playground for the kids," notes Always C. about their stay at Zurich Park.
Budget-friendly options: Some campgrounds offer affordable rates. "Very nice clean and convenient campsite off Hwy 2 in Montana. Best part, free and plenty of space available even during this busy time," writes JPMC A. about their experience at Evergreen Campground.
What you should know
Water quality varies: Some campgrounds have mineral-rich water. "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," notes Bjorn S. regarding Evergreen Campground.
Road conditions: Access roads can become challenging in wet weather. A Camp Creek visitor cautions, "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 its gumbo roads... they can be very miserable."
Site limitations: Some campgrounds have tight spacing between sites. "Walk out camper door into next sites plug ins and sewer hose. Very limited space between campers. No picnic tables or firepits," Jessica B. observes about her stay at Evergreen Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Off-peak timing: Consider visiting during less busy periods for a more relaxed experience. "There were only two campers when we got here, and we're the only ones left today. A few mosquitos at night though. Oh, and a nice playground for the kids!" shares JPMC A. about Zurich Park.
Recreational planning: Some sites offer multiple activities within walking distance. "Large area with playgrounds for the kids. Horseshoe pits, vaulted toilets, 6 30 amp spots, water available," notes Always C. about Zurich Park.
Cell service limitations: Prepare for limited connectivity. "If you have a problem you are a long way from help, and there is no cell service," warns a visitor to Camp Creek Campground, adding that this remoteness contributes to the appeal for many families seeking disconnected time together.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose appropriate sites based on rig dimensions. "The campground has several very large pull through spots, and folks with horses often pass through," notes Clayton B. about Camp Creek Campground.
Hookup availability: Research electrical options before arrival. "A beautiful little park with about 10-12 electric 30 and 50 amp. It's free to camp if you don't have electric and $30 for electric," advises Lisa M. regarding Zurich Park.
Dump station locations: Plan for waste disposal needs. "Dump site in Chinook 9 miles west between 2 gas stations. No Verizon service, no OTA TV as the park in surrounded by hills," shares Always C. about services near Zurich Park.
