Right on top of the highway, you definitely get some road noise here. The trees are pretty thin (maybe not good for hammocks), but there are a lot of them which provide a bit of privacy. The restrooms needed to be cleaned when I was there, but it had just been a busy weekend. No Georgetown lake access from the campground, but there is lake access right across the street at the day use area. You’ve got the ususal picnic tables and fire rings and some sites also have grills. Watch carefully as not all sites have a level place to put a tent. You are only 11 miles from Philipsburg where you can get a shower and a beer in which ever order you want.

Nice campground between Philipsburg and Anaconda along hwy 1. Less than 20 sites, it was clean and compact, but still afforded each site some separation from other sites. The trees have been thinned due to the invasive beatle kill, but new trees are growing. Even though you are close to the road, it’s not terribly loud, especially if you can get a site towards the back. I thought the water tasted exceptionally good from the spigots. You are close enough to the lake for water sports and there are some nearby ghost towns to explore.

June 20-22, 2017. This campground has three loops. The third loop C is reservable, the other loops A and B are a first come basis. Most spots have views of the lake in a shaded area with an asphalt pad. $15 per night, good cell phone service, very clean facilities, and moose sightings daily. There is a dock for Lake access 500 yards from site. Philipsburg is a short drive where you can visit the brewery, good food, and candy store. The Discovery Bike Park is 15 minutes away, but only open Sat and Sunday.
LegendPhilipsburg Bay Campground is a beautiful large campground right on the shore of Georgetown lake. This 69 site campground sits among large pine trees with campsites nicely spread apart. The large trees give you plenty of shade throughout the day. This paved campground is split up into three loops, two of which are first come first served, the other can be reserved. The area also has a day use area and boat launch. Cost is $15 per night. Campground has trash service, and water is available during the summer season. I visited in November so no water for me. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Several vault toilets are located in each loop. Bear lockers are spread out through out the campground for food storage.

Snagged a FCFS site at this wonderful Montana state park after reading reviews. So glad I did. Such a nice campground, nice neighbors. Lots of people out on the lake boating. There is a boat launch in the campground. Snow covered peaks still visible in late June.
Not a lot of shade due to beetle infestation. But wasn't an issue in June. All boats, including inflatable kayaks need to be inspected at a Montana inspection station before launching in the water
I loved it here. Wish I'd stayed longer than one night.
TravelerWe had a great vacation in Montana. Campground was $15 per night, better than spending $40 in WA. First long trip with the new 3 Feathers MFG Pinecone teardrop trailer. We love Georgetown & Anaconda!
LegendThis campground is probably one of my favorite places to visit in Montana. My family makes the trip from washington to Montana once every summer, since I was little. We have stayed here a few times because it is so pretty and great hiking!! The campground is pretty basic, but the views make it great! Each campsite has its own table and fire ring and is separated by trees from the next campsites. Sites are a little on the small side, but we don’t spend much time in the campsite because we are out exploring. Bring bug spray because the mosquitos are out of control! Highly recommend doing some hiking nearby! Great trails with beautiful views!!!
Traveler
Best $10 campsites imaginable. I have always enjoyed able to roll up and there was an available site. Good for traders up to 23ft and even has water and power sites. Sweet little secret gem of a campground and centrally located close enough range of possibilities to go see around Central Montana. Bring bug spray.

This campground is adequate and has easy access from I90. It is located west of Butte, Montana. There are restrooms, showers and a laundry room. The restrooms could have been cleaner. However the camp sites are nearly level and the owners are friendly and helpful.
Traveler
Easy access from I-90. Beautiful location, classic Montana with trees mountains and rivers! Great restaurant on site. Campsites are the reason for not giving 5 stars. Very tight and not great space for maneuverability. Was not full so we were fine with a big rig. Had it been full would be a little uncomfortable.
Scout
A quick shout out to Jo, the campground hostess, for treating us so well! It was a great place to stay and she made us feel right at home. We had been staying at different sites as we traveled to Montana from Iowa and this one was a favorite!. We will make it a point to stay there again when coming out west.
ScoutI came here in a Friday evening hoping to snag a campground, but it was full. The hosts approached me and were very kind and understanding and let me stay in the overflow - however, one night of camping for a non-Montana resident is $34!! The hosts again lowered it to $24 since I didn’t need any electric hookup. Normally I wouldn’t pay that much, but it was getting late and there weren’t many other options.
LegendWe stayed at Beavertail Hill Campground about 30 minutes East of Missoula, Montana. It is a very pretty. The mountains surround the campground with a small river that runs next to the campground. I'm not much of a fisherman but it is very pretty. There are some short hiking trails around the campground. The campground was not full and was very quiet.
The campground is clean and the campsites have plenty of room. There are flush toilets and they are clean. I did not give this campground five stars because it lacks a shower house and feels more like a place to stay the night, it doesn't seem to have much to offer for longer stays.
Guide
this is definitely the place to roost for anyone who enjoys fishing. all fifty spots are either on the bitterroot river or a short walk away. A pleasant walk along the water provides ample bank fishing for the plentiful trout. other fishing spots including lake como are just a short drive away.
staff are friendly and the small store sells fishing licenses as well as a few groceries and fishing supplies. the bathrooms, showers and laundry are clean and centrally located. very slow wifi.
the site itself covers 15 acres with 1/4 mile of riverfront. this includes 70 rv and tent spots. the sites themselves offer a variety of camping experiences from side by side coziness to more isolated spots. there is also a group site.
we would happily return for any future fishing trips to montana.
ScoutWe’re at campsite #7 you can here the water running by the creek. Absolutely stunning forest! There’s an out house and running water Spicket. Nice spots to tent camp.
RangerGeorgetown lake is a beautiful reservoir in the mountains. In my opinion, Georgetown lake smells like it is rotting and I saw a bunch of dead and dying fish. It's very crowded and popular in the summer, but it's not worth the trip... Could be cool, but I had a bad experience.
RangerTried to camp here in summer but it was full, but we got a good look at the place. Wooded and near a picturesque reservoir. Basic sites but they had water and toilets. Lots of people had boats.
Scoutcamphost was fantastic. very clean and quiet.
GuideWhat a beautiful campground! Next to a Great Lake, lots of space & wooded tree area! We enjoyed a great campfire & only stayed one night but it was great & would have stayed longer if we weren’t moving on. We are in a 28’ camper. Very quiet and nice. Lots of wood for $6
ScoutThe spots are spacious and quiet. It’s really clean and the camp hosts were nice.
ScoutReally great, quiet spot despite not being far from anything. You can hear waterfowl from the lake and nothing else but still have cell reception if you want it.
GuideLovely spot, zero bugs, spaced apart from others, plentiful clean bathrooms, and a boat launch. I will say that the red-necked grebes had a loud raucous party all night and while it was certainly festive, kinda hard to sleep. Thinking it was a mating ritual.
GuideNice, shaded little spot on the lake. Every site we saw was in the pines. Great for shade, terrible if you rely on solar. Electric hookups are available, but there are only one or two sites in the whole campground with them, so for most people this is borderline boondocking.
The area is beautiful. We heard wolves after dusk and saw elk at dawn. Fishing is good and plenty of waterfowl in the lake. Facilities are clean.
RangerSaw a moose everyday we were here. No beach area nearby, only access to the water is the boat launch area by loop A. The water in the bay is a bit gross, but you can’t beat the views.
Guidebeautiful well kept campground right on a lake. loop A is first come first served, B&C are reservations only. $17 a night
ScoutThis is a good campground and love the paved campsites for RV.  Very clean and camp host was very friendly. We will be back!
TravelerAlways love our stays here and Sharron the host is amazing and a hard worker. Takes great pride in her areas
