Kings Hill Campground
Neihart, Montana1 Review11 Photos13 Saves8000-foot elevation. 18 campsites at the top of Kings HIll Pass on US 89. In the summer, this is the hub of huge networks of mountain bike trails. If that's a little ambitious for you, try driving up Porphyry Peak to check out the view from the manned fire tower at the top. In the winter, this becomes a playground for downhill skiers, snowmobilers, and cross-country skiers, who visit the Showdown Winter Recreation Area or the nearby Silvercrest Winter Recreation Area.

Snowy Mountain Range
Be the first to review!Geyser, Montana2 SavesThe Snowies is the farthest east geographic area and is primarily in Fergus County with smaller portions in Golden Valley County. The geographic area includes both the Big and Little Snowy Mountain ranges. The Snowies display prominent changes in elevation accentuated by surrounding grassland, high plains, and foothill savanna. The Little Snowy Mountain range has a rich cultural history, beginning with first peoples then homesteading. Today, large ranches maintain the open character of the area. Pine Grove Cemetery continues to be the final resting place for early Euro-American occupants. The Little Snowies are separated from the Big Snowies by a subtle break in topography. It is characterized by foothills that are partially forested with mostly ponderosa pine. In general, the country is semi-arid and dominated by grassy vegetation. Landform is rolling with slopes that are gentle to flat, except where creeks have dissected them. Creeks within the Little Snowies are small and often run dry during the summer months. The major drainages are Willow Creek and the North Fork of Pole Creek, both of which drain south to the Musselshell River. More information on the Snowy Mountains Brochure of hiking opportunities in the Crystal Lake area. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.

Pretty
Windy, free range cattle, no trees but beautiful.
Mountain Acres Mobile Home Park and Campground
Small town rv park
No thrills good place to stop, However there are may options in the area that never come up in searches
Selkirk Primitive Camping
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!!
Many Pines Campground
Lovely
Beautiful campground. Space between most sites. Road noise during the day, but not overly bothersome. Camp host on site and very friendly.
Deadmans Basin
Fun
Great area when people aren’t hogging the shoreline and people are following the rules of the area
Crystal Lake Group Campsite
Nobody there
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.
Kiwanis Park
Quick stop
A rest stop where you can actually spend the night. No fire rings, but a park like atmosphere. Road noise disappears at night.
Crystal Lake Group Campsite
Loved it
We had the place to ourselves mid week it was so quiet. Lots of space between spots, easy to get into. Great get away.
Kiwanis Park
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.

Deadmans Basin
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.
Ackley 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.
Ackley Lake State Park Campground
Weekend getaway
Good spot for camping, fishing, swimming, kayaking!
Kiwanis Park
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.
Kiwanis Park
Very good
Everything is booked, so this is great stop on mt200 trying to get to great falls & on to Glacier. Like a rest area !
Kiwanis Park
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!
Fergus County Fairgrounds
Fairgrounds camping
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
Ackley Lake State Park Campground
One night stay
Just staying here for one night. Such a beautiful place. Nice spot with picnic table and fire ring.
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!
Deadmans Basin
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.
Chief 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.
Crystal Lake Campground
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.
Deadmans Basin
A little hidden gem
On our way from Helena to visit the Terry Badlands WSA to hike the Natural Bridges Trail, we decided to skip driving the interstate, and instead take US HWY 89 (MT-12) on our way east.
Using the dyrt to plan our trip, we saw this campground along the way and thought we'd just pop in to spend the night. I'm really glad we did. It's not reservable online, and in an area that's not heavily traveled, so there were plenty of spaces available. In-fact, there was only one other vehicle spending the night a ways away from us, so it felt like we had it all to ourselves.
We pulled in after dark. It's only a short way off of the highway, so you still hear some minimal road noise. (Max nightly fee is currently $18. With a MT fishing license, only $12, and if you're also over 62, only $5.) I would agree with other reviewers that the mix of day use areas interspersed with paid sites is a little confusing, but we had no trouble finding a spot. (Drive around and explore, you can't really go where you're not supposed to be.) We just headed straight in and landed at spot 14 in "Carl's Cove". Normally, this spot would be right on the water's edge, but the reservoir level was far below normal due to drought this year. The FWP ranger that rolled through at 7:30 am to check fee payment (there is no camp host that I'm aware of) mentioned that there may not even be a reservoir next year if conditions remain the same.
I would still camp here again regardless, for the nighttime sky alone. With no light pollution here, on a clear night like ours, the stars were simply astounding. I have only ever seen that many before on a hike through the Crazy Mountains, which you can see to the south from some campsites. The morning views are pretty and the reservoir was like glass with no wind. We took a nice, long walk in the morning to look at all of the other campsites, but if we'd have had a canoe or kayak with us, a morning paddle would have been just the thing.
P.S. We have T-Mobile and still had two bars of 5G access in this spot.
Hay Canyon
Hay "Free" Canyon Camping
Hay Canyon Campground is a free six site (Forest service says 7) campsite in a narrow canyon among large mature trees. This site is broken in to two sections with three sites each. The first section is easy to find, the second is just around the bend on the main road on a road to the right which has three more sites. The campground has picnic tables and metal fire rings at all the sites. A vault toilet serves the campground. No water or trash service so come prepared. The site nearest to the vault toilet is a amazingly large site, three picnic tables a large metal fire ring and the biggest BBQ grill I have ever seen in a campground. Getting this site is just awesome even at the high price of nothing to camp here. The second section of campsites do require a bit of a walk to get to the vault toilet but their is a faint trail short cutting the road walk.
