Clean RV Park with full hook ups, laundry, showers, restrooms, pet area. Well maintained in an open field. Great stop over place for the area. Owners and camp hosts are on site. Always appreciated.

Great small town RV park. $20.00 per night with electric. No sewer or dump station. Water on site but not to RV pads. Level, asphalt pads are all pull-through and long enough for my truck and 32 foot 5th wheel. 50/30 amp hook ups. Park is attached to a rodeo grounds so you might check availability on the weekends. We were only going to stay one night but the park is so nice that we stayed another two nights.
Scout
The RV park is very well kept. The camp host was friendly and helpful providing helpful information on weather and trails😁👍
ScoutI pulled off I-90 after a long (windy) trip to get had in Big Timber, MT. We saw a sign for Spring Creek and wanted to check if see they had any spots for the night. After driving through town and a little bit of Deliverance Country, we turned in the RV Park and Trout Ranch. Despite being busy with rodeos and other events, Gina (one of the camp hosts) found my little family a spot. They are very friendly and accommodating here at Spring Creek. Would highly recommend.
LegendNice park. Sites are okay. Ours was one of the better ones. Spacious and level gravel pad with large grassy area on patio side. Our site was 50 amp full hookups. Many weren’t. Couple of small fishing ponds. Campground is situated on Boulder River. Office staff was friendly. Laundry facility was clean but dated. (Harvest gold dryers from the 70’s dated). Great proximity to downtown big timber, MT. One grocery store (IGA). 30 min from Livingston.
Ranger
Great place for an overnight or 7! 3 miles off I-90 with spots for rvs, tents and a big field to pull into. Fire pits and toilet
TravelerFree!! River view, close to Big Timber. There are only about 3 true RV spots and 5 tent spots with fire rings, but there is a neighboring field that one could also camp in. Minimal shade. There are also day use people using the boat launch.
Guide
This was a comfortable campground for RVs and tents. Our 5th-wheel is 28 feet long and fit nicely in the space. Some bigger ones may have trouble fitting into the spaces. All campsites have fire pits and picnic tables and are somewhat private. Many are on a two-tier level and actually have steps with railings to go down or up to the picnic table and fire pit. There is a water with pump handle and a couple pit toilets, but that’s it! Plan to drive a long way if you forgot anything! It is close to the highway making it easy access, but you do get some highway noise at some spaces. There is a campground host, but that person was gone two out of the three days we were there.

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!!
GuideA 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.
TravelerCity park and rodeo arena, first come, first served. This is a great over-nighter spot. We did not unhitch, almost totally level. Arrived at 5:30pm. Plenty of spaces. A few more RVs came in around 6:30pm. Still a few spots available, both electrical and primitive. Flush toilets on-site. Worth the $20!
GuideIt was 94 degrees when we pulled into town and electric for AC is absolutely required. For $20 we have a nice level, gravel site with 30/50 amp service. No hookups for water or sewer but that isn't necessary for an overnight stay. Each campsite has a picnic table. We even had a site with a tree that gave a little shade.
This is one of the nicest small town parks I have ever experienced. The play area for children is five star. Rodeo grounds, volleyball net, soccer field are just a short walk from the campsites. The bathrooms are clean and have flushing toilets. Showers are not available.
Guide
This was a nice campground well off a main paved road. About 2 miles of dirt and 2 miles of pavement. The campground has limited spots but they were clean and wide enough to fit my 28ft camper and long box truck (unhooked and parked next to the camper). There was a toilet onsite and though i didn't use it it looked clean as well. Enough space to get in and out of the campground with no issues and I did see a truck pulling doubles (camper and a flatbed trailer) pulling out one day without any issues. It is all dry camping and does not have any hookups. There are a lot of back roads to get lost on an a few small towns and lakes within close driving distance. All in all, its a great campground that I would stay at again.
LegendThis is a large park for a small town. The campground mostly caters to the RV set with 20 pull through sites with hook ups. Their are two tent camping sites with tables and fire pits, but room for more if you don't want a table and fire ring. Tent camping is just $12. Two other possible campsite at the opposite side of the park. Very nice new and large playground area plus picnic shelter. Site has a dumpster just for campers and a small log cabin has firewood available. Campground and park are right along the river so be sure to bring that fishing pole. Water is available.
Ranger
Beautiful little campground with a creek running through. About 10 sites. The campground is large enough for small trailers. Some sites are not terribly level and they were all quite overgrown with flowers and weeds. One vault toilet. Definitely bear country and be very cautious about ticks. Make sure to store food properly. No cell phone service with Verizon.

Martinsdale Reservoir Fishing Access Site campground is a very large campground with out a ton of campsite which means they are well spread apart from each other. Not all the sites are numbered, some have picnic table (a few of the numbered site did not have tables or fire rings). Some of the sites have metal fire rings, others rock fire rings and others had nothing. All of the site are along the north shore of the lake (or are when the reservoir has more water in it) . Numerous vault toilets are to be found. No water and no trash collection so come prepared. The problem with this campground is it has no trees so you are at the mercy of the sun and wind. The wind, it really blow through the area, every time I have visited this site I have found it to windy to attempt to fish.
RangerBeautiful location with several spots. All have fire pits but picnic tables are in bad shape. Going to sleep with sound of Rushing Water 20 ft away from me. Good cell reception on T-Mobile but no trash, water or power hookups. However, only 3 mi from Big Timber and very easy to get here. Beautiful, almost unbeatable spot.
LegendWe followed our RV GPS right to the campground (CG), which is a favorite of ours for a two-night stay. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to Deluxe River site 18 with 30 AMP and water. You can angle the rig in as you want to get set up on the wide pad area. The utilities were in the middle of the gravel pad, and we could park where our 9’ patio could come out to enjoy the gorgeous view of the river. They have free WiFi, but it was not very fast, and we used our Starlink. There are mature trees here, but we got a clear shot north for Starlink. We got 3 bars on Verizon. The water pressure was okay. Talking to our next-door neighbors, who have stayed here over the years, this CG is under new management by a couple who also owned a KOA in Billings. There are already changes, such as getting rid of the cabins and putting in some new FHU sites. There may be plans for new cabins in the future. We also noticed that from staying here in September 2019, the ponds are now state-stocked, and you need a Montana fishing license following regular fishing regulations versus no-license pay for the trout you catch. They also have a military and senior discount, but this wasn't mentioned/given when we made our reservations online. We mentioned it to the lady who checked us in, but she didn't offer to refund us the discount like other CG's have done in the past. There is no dog park, but there’s plenty of area to walk your dog. Someday we are going to plan a longer than two-day stay so we can further explore the area and fly fish the river.
ScoutVery nice quiet campground.Located by the shore of large lake. I thimk there were 12 or so sites available, each has table, fire ring and bear box. Some are literally by the lake, others further away surrounded by trees. To get to the campground you need to drive some miles on gravel road. Deep into the forest, so no traffic noise, just some wood cutting in the morning ;) There will be two other campgrounds on the way before you reach this one, Cherry Creek (similar to this one but smaller) and a RV and campsite s with marina (forget the name). Campground is owned by the Forest Service, so check on the website if campground is open after season - there may be no access to the campground (barrier) if officially closed. I was there in mid September and it was full.
GuideThe campground is okay. The staff is wonderful. We stayed for just under 2 weeks. We didn’t have sewer hookup, but they had a honey wagon.
The spots on the river were really tight. The river was really beautiful though, so maybe it was worth it. We were on a pond, and had plenty of room.
There’s an IGA in town, and a few good restaurants. An hour drive to Bozeman gets you whatever you need.
Sites are gravel. Lots of wildlife nearby.

Ackley Lake State Park campground has no camping fees for Montana residents, for nonresidents the cost is$24 per night. The campground has two vault toilets, but no running water or trash service. While visiting I counted 26 metal fire rings at the campground. Most of those fire rings had picnic tables, but not all of them. Their are 15 numbered campsites with metal fire rings with a cement picnic table with a lean-to to block the wind and provide a little shade. The numbered sites sit along the shore of the lake allowing you to fish from your campsite. The state park also has 2 boat ramps and a seasonal boat dock.
GuideSo beautiful. Found it randomly passing through, just looking for a place to stay for the night. So much wildlife on our drive to it, in the fieds that surround the lake. They only have 26 spots, first come first serve. So we were skeptical at first thinking we might not find a spot. But there was plenty of room. And all of the campsites are right on the water. I would stay there again for sure. No hook ups. only $24 a night for out of state residents. Well worth it to me for the beauty.
LegendWhat makes this campground great is if you're looking for a lake in MT that offers a little more solitude to do your watersports. There's a boat ramp that would make anyone from the novice fisherman to the pro water skier happy, but the grounds are small and the price is a little steep for non MT residents.
There are 15 campgrounds, all primitive (no hookups, just fire pits and a shaded picnic table with a communal bathroom) to allow you the solitude of camping near a lake in MT.
It was unique for me to be awoken by cow moos over rooster crows.
Like most state parks, fees are by cash and so make sure you have enough coin to cover the costs (see pics).

This is a 4wd road so don’t try to drag a trailer in here but it is a lovely campground with abundant hiking.

We LOVED it here. This is primitive. Not water or hook ups or trash but there is a pit toilet. Right by a beautiful stretch of the river, perfect for spending the day lounging in the water, swimming, fishing etc. There are prob 5 sites here and it was BUSY mid week in August when we were here. Lots of folks fishing/here for the day and all sites full for overnight. Some sites have picnic tables and all have rock fire rings. Really, so lovely and relaxing. Would def stay again and again if we are in the are. Best of all…it’s free!! Pack in/pack out. Be respectful of others. Keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after your self. Keep this place as lovely as we found it!!
GuideRight off the road but feels pretty tucked away. Shared the camp with 3 small RVs but everyone had plenty of space. The are has been cleared of timber and there was plenty of wood laying around. Sites are nice with solid tables and fire pits. Two vault toilets as well. Beautiful creek flows through the campsite. Would recommend. $10 self pay no reservations.
