Best Campgrounds near Radersburg, MT

Do not follow the directions in the other review, they are wrong. My review follows the directions.

Take the Clancy exit and turn towards clancy. The road looks like its an immediate left with a big arrow sign but its not, drive straight through. About 1/10 mile and you’ll see the brown forest service sign at the T intersection indicating Park Lake is 14 miles after turning right.

3.5 miles pavement becomes a well maintained wide gravel/dirt road the entire way. Soft shoulders though, beware.

If you pick the lake on a gps or follow the listing directions in Dyrt you will mistakenly turn left just shy of 8 miles and find a narrow road going down, no trespassing and dead end signs. If you have a trailer you’ll have to back out up hill.

Instead stay on the main road and don’t stop until you reach the T intersection which is approx. 11.5 miles from the sign that said 14 miles. You’ll see the forest toad sign 4009 and the forest service sign indicating you turn left and will reach the lake in 2 miles with the campground just at the opposite end

22 sites, all paved, all back-in for towable’s. Some are only large enough for a single vehicle with a tiny towable, a few will hold big trucks and 30+ footers. All have a table and fire pit. Hand pump water point, 3 pit toilets which are very clean and well stocked. Sites are a mix from full sun all day to full shade all day. Plenty of open sky in most sites for clear satellite lines.

Plenty of firewood just lying around. Chipmunks and rabbits run around. This is bear country, be prepared and read over the signage if you are inexperienced.

The lake is beautiful, plenty if shore fishing and large day use areas with tables and firepits. Dirt boat launch as this is a non motorized lake, manpower only.

The local USFS in Helena overseas the location. They do not visit regularly which is likely due to the drive. Be prepared to drive to tell cell service if you don’t have satellite if there are questions or concerns.

No services or trash. Pack it in pack it out. Closest services are Montana city for minimal needs, Helena for most needs. Clancy has nothing

Definitely great for a short stay, it is a simple campground with all of the necessities. They have two women’s showers and two men’s showers. I will say to double check your hook ups because I did not realize that I booked partial hookups! So for the price of $75 per night I do find it on the pricey side. They do have a dump station on site though. The kids loved the playground and tons of open grass space and swings throughout, and they also have a pond that you can even fish him on site at the back of the property. The campsites are quite close together, but all in all a great stay! I almost would say this one goes closer to the 4 star mark than 5 for me if that helps. Also some highway noise (we were at the very front though closest to it).

We chose this place because it broke up a long drive and we generally love a dip in a hot springs.

Campground: The campground is located in the not-so-charming outskirts of Bozeman. The campsites are close together but very tidy. The campground is bounded in part by a road and in part by the fenced hot springs facility and parking lot. Staff are friendly and efficient.

The campground bathrooms were the low point: They looked dingy and over-used — think public restroom at a beach or lake. Most of the grunge we noticed in the bathrooms in the late afternoon was still there in the mid-morning the following day. Meaning the cleaning crew doesn’t visit very often.

Hot springs: The hot springs are part of a popular health club. The busy facilities are modern and clean. There are outdoor pools, surrounded by hardscape, and indoor pools. If you’re happy shoulder to shoulder with a group of strangers in a warm swimming pool this place should please you. If you’re looking for more of a natural hot springs experience, perhaps some scenery while you steam, skip this one. Nice showers, toilets and locker rooms and for $15/person/day you can access the fitness facilities.
