    Newlan Creek Reservoir

    Boondoggin at its best

    Small campground scatter along the lake, boat ramp and launch in good shape. Set in the mountains around White Sulphur Springs with WSS easily accessible if you forget something. No cell reception and your TVs won't work so better bring DVDs if you can tear yourself away from the great fishing and fantastic scenery. Cool nights around a campfire looking out on the moonlit lake - for me the only way to get any better is to have the place all to myself ;)

    Kim's Marina & RV Resort

    1 Star – This Ain’t a Resort, It’s a Biohazard Zone With Wi-Fi

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to vacation in a post-apocalyptic landfill run by people who watched Green Acres and said,“Hold my beer,” then Kim’s Marina& RV Resort is the place for you.

    We pulled in at 1:30PM—our assigned site already occupied by another camper who kindly apologized. The staff, however, offered nothing. No sorry, no heads-up, no water, no shade. Just a“shrug emoji” in human form. Their own check-in pamphlet said checkout was at 2PM—so why hand us a site that still had a family fully plugged in and grilling hot dogs?

    Meanwhile, my 76-year-old mother (who confirmed the day before that her cabin would be ready at 1:30) was treated like a burden every time she asked if her room was ready. FIVE times she asked. They didn’t even start cleaning it until 2:40. It was 100 degrees. She waited in that heat like a forgotten prop in a bad country western, and when they finally let her in, the bed was bare and they told her,“Oh—you still need bedding.” Like it was a lemonade stand, not a paid rental cabin.

    The grounds? Picture a campground that moonlights as a junkyard. Dog poop was everywhere. It was like a minefield from the moment you stepped out of your camper to the joke they call a“beach.” And the dogs? Off-leash, wild, and no one batted an eye.

    The plumbing situation? Grab your hazmat suit. The water spigots looked like they were salvaged from a scrapyard, half-stripped, leaking like crazy, and—you guessed it—pooling water under the electric hookups. One sewer cap shot off like a geyser when I touched it. I wouldn’t wash a lawnmower with this setup, let alone plug in my rig.

    The roads were a combo of gravel, pothole dirt, and vague paved patches—but folks sped through it like NASCAR tryouts. No speed limit signs. No enforcement. Just kids on bikes diving for cover.

    The “beach” for kids? There were broken signs with rusted nails still sticking out of them. Nothing says “family memories” like a tetanus shot.

    Bathrooms? Closed when we arrived. When they did open, it smelled like something had crawled into the plumbing and lost its will to live. Didn’t even risk a shower—especially since you have to PAY for one on top of your already steep site fee. Pay to shower in your own stink? Pass.

    Now let’s talk about the nightmare fuel they call a laundry room. Clean and dirty laundry were stacked everywhere like someone gave up mid-fold. It looked like a middle school lost-and-found exploded. Vomit in the utility sink. I wish I was kidding. ONE washer worked, and TWO dryers were broken. Not that it mattered—the pile of abandoned linens made it impossible to find space anyway.

    Oh, and the staff? If the dress code was“backwoods buffet with a side of resentment,” they nailed it. Rude, grunting, eye-rolling, dismissive. One guy looked like he’d used his shirt as a napkin from breakfast through dinner and capped it off with ripped jean shorts straight outta 1987. Customer service was nonexistent, but judgment? Flowing like that busted water spigot.

    Trash? Overflowed all weekend. Piled up 15 feet high and smelled like the opening scene of a horror movie. At night, I wasn’t sure if I heard raccoons or zombies.

    We booked 5 nights. We stayed 5 nights. But if we didn’t have family with us, we would’ve packed up and peeled out of there after night one.

    Bottom line: Kim’s is not a“resort.” It’s a rotting relic held together by duct tape, fumes, and apathy. The only thing elite here is how fast you’ll want to burn your shoes when you leave.

    Never again. Not if it was free. Not if you paid me. Absolute disgrace.

    Ibex Cabin

    Great view, nice open space, good sized cabin

    We rented the Ibex cabin the first week of June. The cabin was in great shape. The area is nice and open, however a few more trees closer to the cabin for hammock use would have been nice. If you want to hammock there are a couple trees behind the cabin that would work but it’s kind of away from everyone if they’re hanging out up front. The open field was perfect for letting the kiddos run around while being able to keep a close eye on them. The fields were covered in wildflowers, which is always awesome! Despite that, the views were lovely and there’s a nice babbling stream right behind the campfire pit which added a nice ambiance. Fire pit was in great shape, nice solid grate for grilling. The cabin porch had a few notches where we had the pleasure of bird watching some pretty cool wood peckers come and go. Picnic table was in good condition, solid and layed flat which is always convenient. Sometimes you get picnic tables which are kind of wobbly, but this one was great. The pit toilet was fairly clean, most likely because the road had recently opened to vehicles so it was probably cleaned fairly close to when we were there. There’s also a trailhead right before the gate that connects to the neighboring Porcupine Cabin which is cool to have so close. There were quite a bit of flies inside the cabin when we arrived but luckily there was a fly swatter hanging on the wall so that took care of that problem. Nice big table inside, good for playing cards/board games. The bunk beds were slightly questionable. Two of us slept on the bottom bunks and the other two slept on ground pads on the floor just because the wobbliness of the top bunks made us a wee bit nervous. The wood burning stove was pretty small. We lit it for heat about a half hour before bed, had to restart it about five hours later, but it wasn’t too chilly outside so it wasn’t uncomfortable when it cooled off. If it had been colder outside, one would maybe have to keep waking up to relight it. All in all, great area to get away for the weekend. Highly recommend!

    Grasshopper

    Nice Campground in the Castle Moutains

    Lewis and Clark National Forest Grasshopper Campground is a nice campground in the Castle Mountains. As you enter this campground you find a trail head to the left and then a picnic area to the right. The campsites start right after the first of two vault toilets for the campground. At the beginning of the campground loop, right behind the registration box you will find the hand pump for the campground. A creek runs right through the middle of the campground. One nice feature of this campground is once the campground gates are closed and locked, you can still drive to sites 1 and 2 as they are before the closure gate, so as long as you can still drive up the road you can camp. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. I did notice at least one site also had a BBQ grill in addition to the fire ring. Sites are $10 per night with a 16 day stay limit.

    Vigilante Campground

    Great basecamp for the area.

    Free, drive-up, no permit needed. Primitive sites, very simple but clean and kept up well. Wooded by a creek. Pretty sure a bear came through camp one night so make sure to follow all the bear guidelines. Cute small town of York is nearby, got to see a cattle drive which was pretty neat.

    Fish Hawk Campground - DAY USE ONLY - CAMPGROUND PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    On the lake!

    Beautiful spot on the lake! The campsites are walk-in so be aware of that. There is a handicap spot that is next to the toilet you don't have to walk in to. Not a lot of privacy but there is a good distance between sites. Picnic tables and established fire rings here, dogs welcome!

    Fairy Lake Campground

    Gorgeous Mountains and Crystal Clear Water

    The drive up is very rough, most vehicles I saw were Toyotas and Subarus. 4 Wheel drive is recommended, however I took my Ram Promaster 3500 Campervan up to the top where the campground is. The campground is a little higher up than the lake, but the Mountain View’s are worth not having a campsite directly on the water. There is a stream that runs through a few sites tho. Anyway it was beautiful and plenty of space between other sites, but there were people there all weekend long. The weekdays we were basically alone at the campground.

    Jumping Creek Campground

    Convenient little gem

    Right off the road but feels pretty tucked away. Shared the camp with 3 small RVs but everyone had plenty of space. The are has been cleared of timber and there was plenty of wood laying around. Sites are nice with solid tables and fire pits. Two vault toilets as well. Beautiful creek flows through the campsite. Would recommend. $10 self pay no reservations.


Guide to White Sulphur Springs

Glamping sites near White Sulphur Springs, Montana typically remain open from Memorial Day through mid-September, with some extending their seasons depending on weather conditions. The region sits at elevations between 5,000-6,000 feet in the Lewis and Clark National Forest, surrounded by four mountain ranges: the Castle, Big Belt, Little Belt, and Crazy Mountains. Nights often drop below 50°F even in summer, making proper insulation essential for comfort.

What to do

Mountain hiking trails: Vigilante Campground offers excellent access to hiking opportunities. "A trail head in camp for Hanging Valley trail, 11+ mile round trip, lots of climbing to get to a hole in the wall that lets you look straight down into the canyon," notes one visitor. The fairly flat Trout Creek trail also runs through the canyon for a 6-mile round trip option.

Fishing access: Newlan Creek Reservoir provides multiple fishing spots with six different camping areas. "The fishing is great and it's a wonderful family friendly lake," reports one camper. The reservoir features a boat launch and dock in Section 2, making it convenient for anglers with boats.

Wildlife viewing: The Castle Mountains offer opportunities to spot local wildlife. At Fairy Lake Campground, visitors report close encounters with mountain goats and bears. "Mountain Goats will come in your camp and they will do what goats do and want to check you out. They are not scared," warns one camper who stayed at the site.

What campers like

Creekside sites: Many glamping accommodations feature creek access. At Jumping Creek Campground, visitors appreciate the running water. "We stayed right next to the creek and had a very peaceful stay with beautiful scenery," shares one reviewer, while another mentions "a nice stream runs through the campground."

Secluded locations: The Castle Mountains provide isolated glamping options away from crowds. "Small secluded campsite, easy to get to. Would recommend hiking Trout Creek Canyon. Stunning!" writes one camper about Vigilante. Another reports "all the campsites are in the trees" at Grasshopper Creek Campground, providing natural privacy.

Lake views: Canyon Ferry Lake offers waterfront glamping with amenities. "Cool nights around a campfire looking out on the moonlit lake" is how one camper describes their experience at Duck Creek primitive camping area. Despite being primitive, these sites provide direct water access for paddling and swimming.

What you should know

Road conditions: Many glamping sites require travel on rough roads. Grasshopper Creek Campground has "very rough road going in" according to one reviewer. For Fairy Lake, a camper cautions, "the 6-mile unmaintained road to get to the campground is definitely rough. The warnings are justified—it's bumpy, rocky, and slow going."

Limited facilities: Most glamping options have basic amenities only. "This is primitive camping, all you are going to find here is a flat grassy area to camp with rock fire rings. No facilities, no water, no trash, no outhouse so come prepared," explains one visitor to Duck Creek. Similarly, at Jumping Creek one visitor notes, "this campground has seen better days. This 15 site campground is without trees so you are in clear view of everyone else."

Weather preparedness: Strong winds and rapid weather changes affect glamping sites. Silos Campground is described as "a large open and windy campground with no tree cover. All the trees are along the lake and provide little to no relief from the sun or constant winds that blow through the area."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Canyon Ferry Lake KOA offers facilities designed for children. "Great Playground, close to tent sites. Nice staff and great coffee and beautiful setting!" says one reviewer. This resort-style glamping location combines natural beauty with amenities families need.

Creek exploration for kids: Shallow water features provide safe play areas for children. At Logging Creek, one visitor shares that "there is water for kids to play in." Another family camping at Grasshopper Creek found that the "nice creek running through the campground" offered "good place for kids" to explore.

Bathroom considerations: Cleanliness varies widely between glamping locations. Canyon Ferry KOA receives praise for having the "cleanest and nicest bathrooms I've seen in a long time!!" In contrast, some reviewers report less maintained facilities at other sites, with one noting Logging Creek had a bathroom that was "ATROCIOUS and gross" during their visit.

Tips from RVers

Site access challenges: Several glamping areas have limited RV accessibility. At Jumping Creek, a visitor warns, "I didn't know what to expect and white knuckled a bit driving my little old motorhome down into this ground. This is a bit of a trek." Tight turns can also be problematic, with a Newlan Creek visitor noting it "has trees and some tight corners for those larger rigs."

Hook-up availability: Most glamping sites offer minimal RV services. Logging Creek provides electric hookups at some sites but lacks water and sewer connections. For full service glamping in RVs, Canyon Ferry KOA remains the primary option, with one visitor commenting on their "luxury cabin accommodations."

Parking surface quality: The terrain at many sites presents challenges for RVs. "Sites were on the outside of a loop like many FS campgrounds," notes one RVer about Jumping Creek, adding that "some are not terribly level." Another mentions that at Newlan Creek, sites have "distinct parking pads" in the first three sections, making them more suitable for vehicles.
