"Lake right across the street. Cleanest bathrooms! Delicious restaurant also right across the Highway. Love being off season it was not crowded. I imagine during season this would be high demand."
"Pulled off highway 2 and had a lovely night at this campsite. A nice grass area for tent camping. The highlight for us was spending the evening in the pool and hot tub."
$5 / night
"Very nice of the city of Malta to allow overnight campers to stay in the park for $5. It’s just that though, a city park."
"Also, the Phillips County Pioneer Museum in Malta is well worth a visit. Awesome local history and super collection of actual dinosaur fossils, but not just casts."
"Access to Buffalo Hot Springs resort pool and facilities. Staff was very nice and helpful however they close at 8 pm and have no enforcement of campground 'quiet time' at night."
"It was dark when we pulled in, hard to see the landscape/campground sites, but we found one right on the edge of the reservoir."
"About a mile away from Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs."
$30 / night
"I camped on an overlook and went to sleep to an amazing sky full of stars (not a lot of excess light nearby) and woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a herd of deer on the opposite ridge looking at me."
"Montana Gulch is such a great place to visit and stay if you are ever in the area."
"Montana is hands down one of my favorite places to visit to be outdoors."
"A small stream runs through the back area, and endless hiking / horseback riding trails are in this area as well. "
"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. We would definitely stay here again."
"Great little-known Gas & Grocery store with easy access to the Little Rockies mountains of North Central Montana. "
LegendVery nice of the city of Malta to allow overnight campers to stay in the park for $5. It’s just that though, a city park. It’s not a campground, so there are no signs or designated spots to park for the night. We drove around the loop and found a little gravel driveway type thing by the soccer field, so we didn’t have to pull up on to the grass for the night. A cool skoolie pulled in after us and parked along the row next to us on the grass.
The setup is just weird and you’ll have to find a spot to squeeze into where you’ll feel comfortable. I can’t imagine parking next to the playground structures, but along the edges of the park are a decent option. You pay with cash at a drop box at the entrance. Good cell reception for ATT and Verizon. Trash bins here, and gendered accessible pit toilets. And lots and lots of play options for kids.
But the star of the show here were the mosquitoes. I had to put on long pants, thick socks, and long sleeve hoodie every time I had to take the dogs out. I also carried a little hand held fan with me to keep them off the dogs. Occasionally a little breeze picked up and gave us a little break, but mostly the air was heavy and hot and still when we were here in late July and the mosquitoes were vicious.
GuidePretty spot on the milk River two fire rings only one picnic table pit toilets were new and clean. Some bugs but not too bad. No signage off the main road so you need your coordinates.
ScoutEasy to find. Bit bumpy on the way in but spaces right on the water with sunset over the water. Saw kayakers and a duck family on the water. 2 picnic tables open air and one under roof at my site and a fire pit.
ScoutThis park has a nicely maintained yard for tent camping for you to pick any spot to pitch your tent. There are grills available but no fire rings. The Womens bathroom was okay, the one sink was clogged and dirty so I didn’t even use it. My fiancé said the men’s bathroom was fine. There is a train right next to the park that runs frequently throughout the day and night. The horn goes off during the day, not at night; however, every time the train passed at night it would wake both of us up. This park was a much better pick compared to the Trafton park we went to first.
ScoutYeah as one reviewer noted, there is no lack of flying insects to accost you. Probably more bugs than I have ever seen in recent memory. Dodge the bugs by going to the kickass little bar down the road!

TravelerThis campground is pretty nice and is tucked back up a road. It was for the most part fairly quiet.
There is a store in Landusky we didn't visit, but we did check out the DY store as well as the store in Zortman. Keep in mind this area is pretty rural, so there's not much available when it comes to stores and whatnot.
The folks in both stores were quite accommodating and friendly.
I would definitely go back.
ScoutDwight (first reviewer)- "Beautiful place. I camped on an overlook and went to sleep to an amazing sky full of stars (not a lot of excess light nearby) and woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a herd of deer on the opposite ridge looking at me. The hosts care a lot about the land and about their visitors - I visited while it was still winter so they checked the site carefully and whether it would work with my vehicle, and they set out some dry firewood. A really great experience for those appreciating a quiet place on the Montana prairie."
TravelerStayed one night, 10/15/22 on a road trip out to the Midwest. It was dark when we pulled in, hard to see the landscape/campground sites, but we found one right on the edge of the reservoir. There were multiple other RVs already set up, hunters mostly this time of year. Vault toilet, picnic table and fire pit at the campsite and some trees. Not very many trees between campsites, so don’t expect too much privacy. It was very windy the night we stayed. But it was free, close the highway 2, and open all year long. I saw no trash services or water but that could be the time of year. Very close off highway 2, maybe a 3 minute drive past the sleeping Buffalo hotsprings.
