Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wolf Creek, MT

Wolf Creek Bridge FAS got a big upgrade over the winter.  The fishing access site is now fully paved.  No more parking in the mud or dirt.  With the upgrade the old vault toilet is gone and two new vault toilets have replaced it.  The site still has five campsites but four of them have been relocated.  One site sits at the entrance to the FAS, one site sits in the same location near the highway, the other three sites have moved across the parking area and sit near the vault toilets.  All sites have picnic tables, the three near the vault toilet have metal fire rings.  I expect that the other two will have rings soon.  Site still has no water or trash service.  This is a great location to start a nice day long float down the Missouri River, even better now that it is paved.  Site gains a star.

The campground itself is nice. It’s on a cove and sheltered from the wind. It is right in the middle of a village so you are surrounded by houses. The current caretaker is quite rude and not accommodating unfortunately. Pets must be leashes.

Not too busy during the weekday. Picnic table and metal fire ring. I didn’t see any bathrooms but might have missed them as I drove in at night. Not a lot of trees so there isn’t much privacy, but the other sites were far enough away that it didn’t matter. Pretty windy. I heard coyotes at night so keep your pets close, otherwise it’s very quiet and peaceful. Just a stones throw away from the water.

Only spent one night, but level sites, full hook ups, showers and laundry clean. An area to play games and we didn’t have our dogs this time but the dog zone looked good and clean.

Great spot near Glacier National Park, quick to get to! Dog friendly, cabins and fun little round (yurt-like) metal buildings to stay in too! Plus over sized lawn chess!

Great people in charge. They did well to make the dogs and I feel welcomed. The sites are small and the campground is busy.

1 mile hike in. Like the other reviewer said, good place to be alone. Vaulted toilet. I used the first site. There was trash in the fire pit that I took out with me. Caught a couple of big rainbow trout off the dock. (I'm from MN so I mainly fish for walleye and crappie. First ever rainbow trout for me so I don't know how big they can get.) Fish were jumping out of the water all night long and throughout the day which was pretty cool. About five or so boats pulled into the bay in the morning to fish. Straight across the lake someone was hunting ducks and geese with their dog. (I also hunt waterfowl so I liked seeing that.) An older couple with their dog came through for a walk who were pretty nice as well. Close the gate when you walk in. :)

This is a very nice and new campground. You can't beat the views. The owners are very hardworking and helpful. The sites are spacious with new hookups. The picnic tables and firepits are large a in great condition. More importantly,  it's a dog friendly park.

This campground had dead animals, dog feces, ant hills everywhere, and the camp host tried to lie about tent policies to try to extort our family out of more money. Not to mention he threw himself in front of my husband who was leaving the campground, even though his passengers corroborated his experience, the camp host later screamed at me that he was going to call the cops and I am disabled due to PTSD. I have been going to this campground for 30+ years and would never go back after this last experience.

Right on the Missouri River, this campground is at a wide spot called Hauser Lake. No electricity or dump station but I knew that beforehand. The spaces are wide and long (tho variable) and well separated. The hiking paths are paved with frequent dog poo stations and trash cans. There is a small swimming beach (for kids mostly) and a free 24 slip boat dock. Right now they are having difficulty with the water system so I was directed to a market/gas station 2 miles toward town that is also a dump station. Staff are quite friendly and helpful. Two bars of T mobile. I highly recommend this park!

This is an amazing “hidden gem” in its own way. I arrived at 1pm on Monday in august and it was almost completely empty except for 4-5 campers who were all next to each other, leaving over 12+ open spots if not more (we didn’t drive all the way around the campground). There are multiple restrooms, some even ADA accessible and they seemed clean and well stocked, I even saw the guy come and clean/ stock it when I first arrived. The water is gorgeous and I went for a swim mid day when it got hot, my dog also loved this! Flat easy ground to set up a tent as well as picnic tables and fire rings. This is definitely on my list to come back to if I’m ever in the area. Truly stunning and so tranquil.

Bean Lake is a Montana FWP fishing access site. The 200 acre lake lying along the edge of the Rocky Mountain Front near the Scapegoat Wilderness. Their are two access points to the lake with in the FAS, each has an outhouse. Their is a boat ramp to the lake. The primary fish species in the lake are rainbow trout, which are planted each year by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department.

If you plan to fish Bean Lake, the odds are high you’ll have the lake to yourself. Few people ever bother to visit this remote lake.

Montana FWP list the site as having 8 sites, but it just looks like a dispersed camping area. Found only one picnic table and the only fire rings were made from rocks. Camping appears to be free as their are no signs or fee stations. You have to look carefully to find the camping areas due to their being no signs. Once you spot the lake look for the outhouses. You are out in the open at this FAS not a tree to be seen. No water (except for what is in the lake) and no trash bins.

Lovely little site north of Helena along the highway. Fish & wildlife state siteso simple primitive camp sites. Not too memorable but the nearby area is stunning Montana wilderness with loads of hiking.
