Best Campgrounds near White Sulphur Springs, MT

We were looking for an easy dispersed site to stay at while visiting a friend in Bozeman. This was an easy option for us with a 20ft camper. We stayed at the first pull off a few minutes off the main road. This site was easily accessible, right off the main road, close to town and close to some hikes.

This place seemed promising at first. It was hard to find a decent spot at night due to only using headlights of my van. Most of the road is extremely rugged/uneven/full of large holes. The only place I was able to stay for the night was the road leading up to the locked gate. This is about the only nice spot. Other than that this place is • quiet w/occasional traffic along the high way (right next to reservoir) • very few people here, but far enough away from me • no fee required • provides OK view to the mountains • great when you bring along a pet • you will need to be fully prepared for primitive camping

I felt so secluded here on a Sunday night. Beautiful area. Appreciated the reviews on here to find a good free place to spend the night.

Stayed here twice in early August about a week apart. Any car should be able to get down the road to the campsites. A bit buggy but free. Pit toilet available.

This is an amazing camp spot that is almost almost to the top of the trail to fairy Lake campground. There’s an established firing, and there’s room for multiple vehicles.

This was an ok stay outside of Bozeman. The coordinates took me to a spot which was occupied but looked like the only spot on that stretch of road. It began to get extremely rutted and I didn’t want to push any farther after that spot. I camped in what looked to be a dispersed campsite that they closed off

Windy, free range cattle, no trees but beautiful.

Gorgeous campsite only 20ish min from the outskirts of Bozeman. Stopped in for 1 night passing through on a bigger road trip and couldn’t be luckier with this location. Fire rings at all campsites. Very quite road. Level ground for car camping. Would 100% come back just for this gem.

Love the spot, not many people, picnic tables/fire pits at each pull through spot. Pit toilet was locked. The mosquitoes were absolutely blood thirsty and aggressive and after multiple reapplications of bug spray we had to call it quits. The fire barely kept them at bay, but we still got a few bites sitting next to the heat.

There’s signs about limiting the stay to 14 days, but there clearly are people who have been here much longer than that. Way too crowded.

This was a lovely spot with lovely care takers. The scenery was beautiful. The airport and train crossings are distant enough that we could not really hear them. The night before we arrived we had been camping in Wyoming so the shower was quite glorious (6’1” guy was able to stand up in it comfortably). The hostess (LaVonne) was cleaning the composting toilet when we arrived, and while the out house it sat in was warm in the summer, it just means one is less likely to spend time in there on their phone. It was also quite the improvement over the pit toilets we had used elsewhere and did not smell at all. We had plenty of space to set up our tent and we felt comfortable leaving it set up to eat at one of the local spots in the nearby town (~15 min away). The animals provided a nice background hum of life. This stop has been the highlight of our trip and we would definitely recommend it to other campers who are looking for a retreat or a quiet place to stop during their travels. If we are in Montana again this will definitely be one of our stops.

Quiet and almost empty Wednesday/Thursday but not only full weekend 100am wakeup call from a ski boat with a deafening sound system.[The other side of the lake]  

The access to the lake was between other campsites but it was too steep for my wife.  Site 61 was a tight squeeze at 33' because of an incline at the rear of 2'.  Excellent sunsets and moonrises with plenty of room between the sites.  No shade at sites but some trees/shrubs on the shoreline.

You can not stake anything down here. It's all sand. No cover from wind. Does have a vault toilet. Could see how to could very crowded in summer.

Cottonwood Reseravoir DNRC land section.  accessible for overnight camping under DNRC rules.  The reservoir has Yellowstone cutthroat trout and white suckers.  No wifi, no trash, no bathrooms. Completely wild. Stars at night amazing. All kinds of waterfowl passing seasonal. No amenities.
