    Primitive Camping - Twelve Mile Dam Fishing Access Site - Montana

    So relaxing & quiet

    Stayed 5 nights and it sure was lovely! Right next to the creek/dam, you can fish or play in the water with your dog. The 2 vault toilets were always clean & stocked. Lawn was mowed while here and everyone was respectful of each other’s space. Can’t hear much noise from the highway. There’s two farms that back against the place so you may hear some noise from it. There’s at least 8 spots here and a tent site. Definitely enough room for all rig sizes. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. Had 2-3 bars of LTE via AT&T. Definitely would stay here again! Only 15 minutes from mile city. No water, no trash but it’s free!

    BLM Mathews Recreation Area

    Park like atmosphere

    This is a very well maintained camping area. Most sites are walk in from parking area. No sites right on the river, though plenty of trees and shade . There is a large covered patio with barbecues, suitable for large gatherings. Designated spots have picnic tables and fire rings, but a lot of area for tent set up. Handicap accessible with concrete walks for easy mobility.

    Far West Fishing Access Site

    Best kept secret in the area.

    Flat camping sites, mostly pull thru, with fire rings, picknic tables. One vault toilet, always clean,always has paper. Campground is free and open all year. Some sites are alongside a pond, where I have seen people swimming. There is a short hiking trail to the river. Not far from the campsites is a boat launch.  I drive through this campground almost daily and in the last year have only seen it 80% full at the most.  Con: no electricity, no drinking water. Stay limit of 7 days. Very well maintained.

    The town of Rosebud has a bar, that is open in the weekends, and serves dinner. 

    The town of Forsyth is 15 minutes away, and has a grocery store, hardware store(s) and gas station(s). Also a one room movie theater, completely restored with lounge chairs. Forsyth has a bowling alley. Great place for camping, fishing, swimming, shopping, and relaxing.

    I have good connection with Verizon here.

    Primitive Camping - Twelve Mile Dam Fishing Access Site - Montana

    Nice Spot for a Few Days

    Pretty nice spot for a few days. Fire rings (no fires allowed right now), picnic tables, a super cute stream that runs through, nice, level spots, vault toilets, and quiet, gorgeous views. Would definitely stay again.

    Wagon Wheel Campground

    close but so far away

    It’s cramped. Very close spaces with no room to do much else. The spaces are staggered enough you’re not side by side, but still very cramped.

    Showers and restrooms are not the finest, 2 out of 4 toilets somewhat work and showers needed to be cleaned.

    It is costly to stay here. There is internet (slow, so don’t expect to download a movie) and cable, water and electric are standard.

    Parking is difficult. you have to park out away from your camper and walk back through the campground. The cramped conditions keep people from backing into the tight spaces; therefore, making you park away from your campsite.

    There is a game room, but beware you have to pay for every game.

    You are close to Yellowstone NP and that is about the only nice thing about staying here.

    In summery, if you need just a place to hookup and sleep and don’t mind being close to other campers this place will work. If you like some privacy and want to actually camp with the family this is not very suitable, no place to set up the hammock, no camp fires, and no extra room for your favorite camp chair!

    Just the observation of a family guy with wife and kids who love to camp and love our National Parks...

    Far West Fishing Access Site

    Great for a few nights

    This was a quiet little spot. Stayed a few days leading up to Memorial Day weekend and had 3 campers come Wednesday and pick a spot then left their camper so they had it for the weekend. There’s 10 spots in the camping area then an additional 2 by the boat launch. Vault toilet was stocked and clean. Game warden drove by during my stay making sure trash wasn’t left out, etc. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Most spots are open with direct sunlight (good for solar) and the sites can accommodate most rigs since they are small - large. Had full LTE service via AT&T. There’s a delicious drive thru coffee place 12 min away called Cattle Coffee in Forsyth. Definitely worth the trip!

    Bonfield

    Right on the Yellowstone!

    This is a beautiful spot right on the river, with an upgraded boat ramp. Pit toilet was a ways from sites but clean. There is only 2 designated sites with picnic tables and fire rings. One of the spots is well shaded with trees serving as a wind break. The other site is completely in the open. The road getting in there is pretty rough, some areas of wash out ruts, so you'll need some clearance. Also, there is a very narrow bridge, so oversized vehicles are a no go. I was unable to get a picture of the more sheltered site as someone beat me to it.

    Far West Fishing Access Site

    Montana FAS campground

    Quiet Montana FAS campground along the Yellowstone River. It is part of the extensive network of fishing access sites. Some are free, some aren’t and other FAS have no camping. There is a downloadable pamphlet with info on these facilities. Photo is of the gravel near the boat launch which a short drive from camping area.

    Vault toilet/picnic table

    Free

    We were there in October 2019 plus September 2020

    Wagon Wheel Campground

    Great proximity to Yellowstone

    This place has great proximity to Yellowstone but that’s where the positives end. The spaces were very tight to the point where you need to watch out for your awning or slide. You butt up to the RV behind you and share water/electric and sewer with them. The whole place felt over crowded. The pet area is a gravel lot across the alley and down a ways. Still worth staying here because you can watch sunset in the park and be set up and in bed so quickly.
