Best Tent Camping near White Sulphur Springs, MT

I rolled into this place because White Sandy BLM was closed on Nov 1. This CG looks to stay open year round because it has a boat launch. The water was turned off and the main bathhouse was closed for the season. Two pit toilets remain open. The electric service was still on for the sites. The tent only sites were not suitable for van camping and require a walk to the tent site. I used the RV site and about half of them a siamese type sites with gravel pads. I was the only one here so this didn’t matter. Cell service on Verizon is one bar 3G so I set up my starlink.

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.

Chinamen's Campground has 30+ sites however most of the sites are small and many tent campers may have a hard time finding a spot to pitch a tent in many of the sites. Good sites fill up fast. Campground has a boat launch area. An ADA spot and Vault toilet is available.

Dry Wolf is a beautiful area of Montana. 4-Wheeling seems to be popular in the area. There are lovely streams, nice mountains and cool cliffs all near Stanford. It's a great get-away in North Central Montana.

This site has extensive day-use picnic areas and a regular campground. This is a totally open site with no shade or privacy. If you don’t have a boat and don’t want to BBQ, there’s not much to do, but the views are pretty all around. Went here with a local. If you’re visiting Montana from out of state there are, IMHO, much more beautiful and Montana-y options.

Nice area above shoreline with some shade trees for tents and enough flat area to pull a camper in. Good for day trips, group gatherings too.

Due to the piles of trash, etc., it appeared as if several people had moved in permanently to this camp site. And by the looks of their faces when I pulled up, they were not pleased to have someone else there.

No big deal, I just went to my lot and set up my tent and planned to keep to myself.

The mosquitos were unreal.

The noise never stopped. Not only from the highway and train tracks close by, but from the other “residents” of the campsite. And the constant sound of coyotees.

The guy in the tent across the lot from mine made me feel particularly uncomfortable. Like I was being watched the whole time. Thought I heard him coming out and walking in my direction several times in the late evening. And from the sound of his grunts at around 1:30am that told me he was still very much awake and active, I decided it might not be the safest place for me ti fall asleep.

So I threw my tent in the back of the my car and I drove 30 minutes to the nearest Walmart parking lot and slept there.

Recently renovated, campground is really clean and spread out. Little to no shade for tent campers and bugs get horrible. Small store makes for easy extended stays.

Upper Toston Dam Campground and Boat launch is one of two campground in the BLM Toston Dam Recreation Area. The Lower Toston Damp Campground is located a half mile below Toston Dam. The Upper Toston Dam Campground features four cover camp picnic table sites with metal fire rings. All four of the sites sit at the edge of a large parking area. Between the covered sites and the Missouri river is a grassy area that tents can be set up in. The grassy area slopes down towards the river, this could make finding a level spot for your tent difficult depending on the size of your tent. One could also pitch their tent on the edge of the parking area. The site has a single vault toilet. A small boat launch with a dock is available as well. Their is not water or trash service at this campground. This campground will be a quiet location as it is 5 miles from the highway, the only noise will be from water running over the dam and any trains that come down the tracks located on the other side of the river. This site also benefits from not having any cell phone service.

Ranger Review of Liquid I.V.™ Hydration Multiplier Passion Fruit Flavor

I have been trying out Liquid I.V. for several days now and I am quite pleased with the result. Just drinking one of these a day is keeping me well hydrated, far more so than drinking the same amount of water or other sports drinks during the day. Today I tried out the Passion Fruit flavor which taste great. I would give the flavor 5 starts, all though I do prefer the Lemon-Lime flavor.

NO PRIVACY IF THE SITE IS FULL. THERE IS A FRIENDLY DEER THAT CAME OVER TO ENJOY THE SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS MY HUSBAND WAS EATING HAHA. A NICE AREA TO PITCH A TENT IF U DONT WANT TO LEAVE THE LAKE FOR A COUPLE DAYS. NOT A PLACE TO ENJOY THE QUIET AND SOLITUDE

This is a nice campground just outside of Townsend Montana. Good information signs about the area and the Lewis and Clark journey. A nice fishing pond is available for children 14 and under. Campground is on the edge of the Missouri river. The only draw back is noise from the nearby highway.

This campsite is free! The drive is so gorgeous right below snow covered mountains. Deer frequent the campground. Has everything you need from a picnic table and fire pit to tent space or you can car camp as you have your own parking spot. There are a few double parking spots as well. Pit toilets. Nice and small/quiet.
