Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Hobson, MT

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.

This is the only RV park in the area. Sites are big. Park struggles with emptying garbage and dog waste containers in a timely manner. Two employees…one was friendly and accommodating, the manager was absolutely horrible - she treated us and several other campers very poorly.

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.

Nice area, refreshing swim.. Could be more shade. Limited fire pits but lots of space. Free for Montana residents!

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.

What 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 was a one night pass though. There are lean-to's with picnic table and fire ring. Vault toliets, no water. No trees and the other campsites are very close. When the wind is blowing you take the brunt of it since there is not trees.

Just staying here for one night. Such a beautiful place. Nice spot with picnic table and fire ring.

So 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.

This was a welcome sight on a cross country road trip. We rolled up around sunset to find plentiful open spots, a lovely lake, and four very confused cows.

Many sites offered a sheltered picnic table, which makes me think it might get very hot or very windy.

It looked like fishing and hunting might be possible, but no one was doing either on our trip.

I stayed here for a weekend in a tent. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and most "camp sites" were taken (its mostly just pull off the road and park style camping from what I could see; I don't think there are very many official camp spots), but we were able to find a spot. There is some shade in certain spots. The shoreline was rocky at our site, so it was easy to get in and out of the water. We took ATVs and drove them to Utica and Sapphire Village to explore some of the trail up there. Overall, a nice spot for such a small lake.

Good spot for camping, fishing, swimming, kayaking!

Minor noise from the road. Many spots were available. Got some fresh spring water from one of the spigots. Very clean and clear skies. Next to an airport, but absolutely no traffic.

We stayed here on a trip out to Glacier NP. If you are just passing through to get from point A-B and don't want to get out into the back country, this campsite really fits the bill.

It's clean, maintained and relatively quiet. As others noted, it's essentially free, donations accepted.

This place is great and it runs off of donations, so make sure to drop some cash into their donation box if you can. Clean bathrooms and plenty of spots to park your car and camp, some with picnic tables even. There is trash and plastic/can recycling. Flush toilets and running water. There’s a shower at the civic center in town for $2, or one in Grass Lands for $5 just 30 min down the road.
