Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lloyd, MT

Pull through sites with full hook ups and easy access. There's a small dog park, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and the place is nestled between the hills of Northern Montana. Perfect stopping place before crossing the border into Canada!

There are no reservations available and only 10 spots, so I felt like I got lucky there was something available for me that night. By the time the sun went down there were only 3 other sites filled, so plenty of space. There is no potable water so come prepared. The cost was minimal, $8 or $9 each night if I remember correctly. The sites have campfire rings, tables but not grills. There is a restroom for the camp. There are some trails to explore which were well maintained but I believe backpacking through Glacier spoiled me. Pets were allowed but must be on a leash. It was a peaceful and quiet place to stay.

We just returned from a very pleasant two night stay. The camp is clean and well maintained. The community bathrooms/showers are cleaned daily. One recommendation would be to bring your own drinking water as the camp water has a high and noticeable mineral content. That said, the sun rises and sun sets were worth the trip and any hardship from having to use my own water for drinking and cooking.

Only downside is the camp is literally in a prairie dog town so my bird dogs were constantly on high alert living among the natives. A small price to pay for a well run camp with hosts that clearly care.

Very nice clean and convenient campsite off Hwy 2 in Montana. Best part, free and plenty of space available even during this busy time. 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!

Great little-known Gas & Grocery store with easy access to the Little Rockies mountains of North Central Montana.  

The mountain area provides miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, atv & horse back.  

Friendly little town with rich history of gold, outlaws, fables and lore.

This was a fun, unexpected stop. Unfortunately it's a bit in the middle of no where, Montana, but we were delighted none the less. They have chickens and ducks and geese, goats, and donkeys. You can feed them and visit with them. The sites are huge. No big trees, and right by the highway and train tracks. But it was peaceful and restful, and just what our family needed to recharge. Bonus that they took our Good Sam membership!

It's a good place to put in for fishing, but it's really exposed without great views. Camp by second lake or the creek. See other Beaver Creek post.

This isn't one campground, its dozens. Beaver Creek is the largest county park in the nation. It technically requires a $55 annual park pass for camping or usage of the park. There are two lakes with decent fishing in the park and a lovely stream. Mount Otis has a well-maintained trail to the top, and there is a 3 mile nature trail. I use this park all the time! Perfect for picnics, camping by RV or tent, hiking, fishing and bon fires.

We had a wonderful time! Horses, mules, goats, chickens, alligator’s;), ducks & geese. Kids had a great time! Flat area, spots are pretty big, highway is close but it’s pretty quiet! All hookups available, easy in & out. Customer service is wonderful!!

Nice little zoo at the campground. All sites are pull through and full hook ups. No shade. Which kinda stunk when it was 100 degrees out. They do nightly, weekly and monthly rates.

We followed our GPS into Havre(pronounced Hav-er). When we got to US-2 coming in from the south on US-87, the GPS wanted us to go left where in actuality, you need to turn right and go through Havre as the Campground (CG) is 7 miles out of town on US-2 East. The CGs website instructions tell you about this GPS error. There were no issues with check-in and we headed to pull through site 15 with FHUs. The utilities are near the middle of the very-long gravel and soft dirt pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi but we got some sulfur smell and taste even with our three way filter system. We got 4 bars on Verizon. Most of the sewer connections are extended well out of the ground, so you will have to get your sewer hose up so that gravity flows at least level. This is essentially a large gravel, some grass, and weed parking lot, but the sites are decently spaced apart. There are no trees, so we didn’t have a problem with Starlink. During the day, theres a lot of US-2 road and train noise as the tracks run parallel to US-2. At night, the highway noise goes way down but there are still trains. We enjoyed the farm animals and especially the male peacock that was strutting around with feathers all spread out, which we found out is called train rattling. We tried several times to log into their WiFi during our two day stay, but never connected. This CG worked okay for our short stay.

Havre was our last quick stop on the way to Glacier National Park. This RV park is a small asphalt parking lot next to the convenience store and Conoco gas station. The middle sites are parallel parking for big rigs and back in sites for the smaller trailers or Class C’s. Our 28 ft Class A with tow fit just fine. I think larger rigs would be challenged. The sewer hook up is in the road under our rig so we pulled out slightly and dumped when we left to avoid climbing under to hook up. Paid $58 with an AARP discount. A little high for this park.

Internet only available at the store. I used the laundry that is more general public vs reserved for campers. There were a couple long term residents and a few seasonal while we stayed. Otherwise, we had nobody around us which made the space maneuvering easy.

Everything went smooth with staff and check in. The park sits between on Route 2 and the rail yard. Surprisingly, we weren’t othered by any noise.

We took the day to explore the town. Beneath the street historical tour was a blast back to the past and how the town survived a devastating fire. We toured Fort Assinniboine located 10 miles out of town. More great history and testament to how tough is was on the wild frontier.

If you're doing the Northern Tier and need somewhere to stay, this counts as a place to stay. If you are looking for an adventure, this isn't the spot. Good for RVs at events.

Nice area, shade and trees.  Friendly, helpful host.  Camp sites very, very close together.  Walk out camper door into next sites plug ins and sewer hose.  Very limited space between campers.  No picnic tables or firepits.

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.

This is the best of several boondocking options around the Fresno Reservoir. We were the only ones here on a weeknight (right before the 4th of July). There are several choices, including some with shade under the cottonwood trees you so often find near rivers. There’s also a flat concrete pad that would work well for a big RV. You could pitch a tent here if you wanted to. The access is good - about 2.5 miles from Hwy. 2. The dirt road is a little washboard but no big potholes. Verizon phone service was excellent. You’re right next to the dam outflow so not really a good place for swimming, but it looks like people like to fish here.
