Moore, Montana1 Review•3 Photos•9 SavesOverview
Crystal Lake Cabin provides sweeping views of Crystal Lake in the heart of the Big Snowy Mountains of Central Montana. Located about 20 miles south of Lewistown, the cabin adjoins Crystal Lake Campground, providing conveniences like a picnic area and boat ramp for non-motorized boats. Recreation opportunities abound, including floating, fishing, canoeing and hiking. Access from December 1 through June 15 is by snowshoe, snowmobile, cross country skiing or hiking for 6 miles.
Recreation
The Ice Caves Trail leads hikers to the ridgetop of the Big Snowy Mountains, where it intersects with the Crystal Cascades Trail Bypass. The Lake Loop Trail trailhead, located at the north end of the Crystal Lake Campground, takes hikers to Grand View Trail Junction and additional ridgetop views. Both the Ice Caves Trail and Grand View Trail may be impacted by winter snow as late as the first part of July. The lake freezes over and ice fishing is possible if the ice is thin enough for fish to survive. In summer months, the lake is stocked with rainbow trout. Kayaking and canoeing is popular.
Natural Features
The cabin sits near the shores of Crystal Lake. The beautiful lake spans 45 acres at an elevation of 5,700 feet. With a maximum depth of 15 feet, the lake seeps fresh water through a porous limestone bottom. The lake generally freezes in the winter.The Big Snowy Mountains, lush with mixed conifers, rise up from the lake, providing spectacular views. The highest peaks in the mountain range reach 8,600 feet.

The Ole Mercantile
Great overnight stop
Stopped in for the night. The Ole Mercantile had a cute shop and Conoco gas. People were very friendly and 6 full hookup sites out back. Mostly flat overgrown gravel pad did the job. Wrangler Bar and Cafe in the same parking lot had great food and drinks. Sunny and buggy but as expected in the grasslands.

Quiet, small, cozy little get away
Small areas. there is a vaulted toilet. I had a camper so never used it so I can’t comment on that. Meet up with friends and we all had campers. Plenty of room for all of us. Lots of mosquitoes so bring bug spray!!

Friday night and not a soul in sight. Like other reviews- very open. Staying on the outside provides better privacy, but with no one there - lots of privacy.

A rest stop where you can actually spend the night. No fire rings, but a park like atmosphere. Road noise disappears at night.

Great spot for water and relaxation
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.

Chief Joseph City Park
Wonderful City Park
It 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.

Ackley Lake State Park Campground
Absolutely beautiful
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.

Careful if towing trailer.
I came in late at night and definately found myself at the end of the deadend while towing a trailer. If towing, try to get there in day light to save yourself some trouble. Other than that, a beautiful place to stay.
Tarrah C.LegendAckley Lake State Park Campground
Adequate
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.

Nice little campground
We were here on June 17, 2022. It was somewhat crowded but we managed to snag a spot for our 38’ fifth wheel. They have a ten day limit on your stay which is free. No electric but they do have some water spigots spaced throughout. Our AT&T has 2-3 bars of data and running 13 mbps. No designated sites just find a place to park.

Everything is booked, so this is great stop on mt200 trying to get to great falls & on to Glacier. Like a rest area !

Great harbor in a storm!
Perfect place to duck into and park during high winds/rain. Extremely clean restroom. Be aware, Waze directed me to a totally different place but Google Maps pointed me to the exact location. You just find a place on the grass or in an actual site and be sure to honor them with a donation!

Full hookups for $38. Sites are average size. I have a 38-ft travel trailer and I had to unhook to fit in the space. The sites are not incredibly level. But for an overnight stop it works great. Easy in and out

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!

Great site!
We have a 23 foot camper van. No issues getting here. There is a 2 mile fort road but it's in good shape. Great views! It was pretty windy the night we were there so picked spot 23 which was as a bit tucked out of the wind.
Joseph H.ScoutChief Joseph City Park
Awesome place!
We stayed here one night on our way back to Texas after picking up our new rig. There was no other campers but a great park and very reasonably price. We would like to come back again some day. Highly recommend for a short stay.

Muchwater Campground
Holy moly
Muchwater is a dispersed camping spot just north of St Regis, MT. It is located in the LoLo National Forest. It is nestled along side the Clark Fork River. This area is amazing! The campsites are huge with plenty of room for an rv or 5'er. We had a spot right next to the river which allowed for easy access. Plenty of trails to explore, but beware, this is HEAVY bear country. There are plenty of animal trails too. Please do not leave food out, children or pets unattended. The sunset off the river is magnificent. This area is FCFS, zero cell service, and has no facilities. The only downside is the train that goes by in the night. It will wake you as it feels like an earthquake, but it is definitely worth staying here.

Sad
This use to be the most beautiful campgrounds in Montana, until the USFS said the trees were dangerous. They had every tree in the campgrounds cut down and hauled off. Not much privacy now as every camp site can be watched by all the other campers in the other campsites.
