    Northgate Dam Rec Center

    Great spot!

    Such a nice camping spot. Clean and tidy, on a beautiful pond with lots of rec opportunities. Playground with basketball court; clean vault toilets; electric available at each site. Best part... $5 per night, $10 if you want electric.
    Half hour from Portal border crossing.

    Brush Lake State Park Campground

    Warm lake, not crowded

    Went here deliberately because it is not extremely busy and has a warm lake for swimming, boating, tubing. Canoing that is very near the campground. Fantastic restaurant in Genora, ND about 5 miles away. Went in late July and flies were somewhat bothersome. But lake was so refreshing and this would make a perfect 1-2 day stop between many locations in MT and ND. 27 miles to Canadian Border. Went swimming every day I was there except one day when it was cool. 150 miles to Theodore Roosevelt National Park which was also great.

    Great Family Fishing Hole

    Great Family Area! Had to 2 play grounds, 4 little docks (1 fishing, for swimming area), Fish cleaning station!

    A lot of camper slots (also can be used as tent spots) with electrical hook ups. No dump area or water hook ups 😔.

    Bring a kayak, canoe, or boat and enjoy excellent fishing for trout, walleye and blue gill!

    Brush Lake State Park Campground

    Small campground overlooking lake

    Campground is set on top of hill overlooking Brush Lake which is a gem in itself. Campsites are spacious, but no trees for privacy or shade. There are bathroom facilities. Trails that lead down to the lake. Lake has restroom facilities, picnic tables, boat ramp, and beach area. The lake was a hidden gem among locals, so not a ton of people camping. One side of the lake is a state park and the other is privately owned.

    Beautiful and Quiet

    My husband and I stayed one night on our relocation trip from Alaska.  The location was beautiful and peaceful.  The campground was very clean.  I wish we had been able to stay longer.  The $10 fee is certainly reasonable!

    Brush Lake State Park Campground

    No reservations after mid September

    In September this small state park is over run with hunters. I truck camp and left with my site reserved only to come back with another camper in my spot. Online reservation system would resolve any issues. Other camper claimed there was no site tag at site. It was there when I left in the flimsy clip provided.
