    Crystal Lake Campground

    Beautiful

    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!!

    Mountain Acres Mobile Home Park and Campground

    Nice for the week

    Stayed here for the week while traveling through the area. They have laundry, showers, bathrooms, WiFi and sites have full hookups. Most people staying were only there for a night or two passing through. They allow dogs and do have a pet area with bags to pick up after your pet. The rv park is right off of a fairly busy street, but it did not seem to bother us during the evening.

    Chief Joseph City Park

    A delightful refuge.

    A 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.

    Kiwanis Park

    Decent

    Not too bad for a quick overnight stay. Right next to the highway so lots of traffic. The grass is nice but they are having a problem with prairie dogs. Restrooms were clean!

    Moose Creek Campground

    Quiet and Private

    There was no sign for this campsite on the highway. I just pulled off the highway where it said access to National Forest, and it appeared fairly close to the highway. There were only half a dozen sites or so, and no amenities. And of course, no cost. I think the actual Moose Creek Campground is farther up the road and away from the highway. But this was perfect for someone who is caravaning and needed a quick place to stop. It's right on the creek and it was delightful. There was one other camper in there the evening I was there.

    Dry Wolf

    Off the beaten path, but not too far off

    Dry Wolf is a beautiful area of Montana. 4-Wheeling seems to be popular in the area. There are lovely streams, nice mountains and cool cliffs all near Stanford. It's a great get-away in North Central Montana.

    Chief Joseph Campground

    Basic but nice and quiet

    This campground is on the edge of Harlowton. A small town that has very adequate basic services. The campground is in the city park / rodeo grounds. Very quiet. Clean. If you have dogs go out the south entrance where the is a rails to trails walkway. Nice for human and k-nines alike. Only electric at the sites. But there is a dump station Anna potable water spigot. Our kind of campground. Only draw back would be when the Rodeo is in progress. It would be one hopping place then. We have stayed here in July and first of October. Beautiful and pleasant both times.

    Whitetail Camp

    Whitetail

    Located almost 25 miles up the Yaak Hwy, this campground is situated along the river (and Hwy). Nothing makes this campground stand out, except maybe the large moose pond adjacent to the campground. If you can catch an early morning moose, then the campground gains a few stars! :)
