Remote and quiet

We loved our 2 night stay at Monty. We came for a view of the Perseid meteor shower and got lucky with clear skies. The stars were incredible! Monty is near the end of a ROUGH road, probably 30-45 min of 10-15 mph in our Highlander. We bought firewood at Perry South, about 4 miles before Monty on the same road. There is no water, but the toilet is clean. Both nights we stayed, there was only 1 other campsite occupied besides ours, and even if there had been others, we wouldn't have heard them over the roaring river next to our site (#8). Some of the sites are quite small, but the riverside sites are good sized. Not much to do in or immediately around the campsite, but we wandered and explored and relaxed and it was fun! Highly recommended if you are looking for quiet and solitude.

Secluded, quiet riverside camping with no frills!

This campground is much further down a bumpy gravel road than expected, but holy cow, so worth it. My boyfriend, his daughter and I took our first camping trip together at Monty and it was exactly the serenity we needed. Nothing but peace and quiet with the river running right next to us, and NOBODY else was camping there! There is no comparison when it comes to the kind of quiet we experienced being out there, and I’ve never seen the stars so bright. This bare-bones site was exactly what our hearts needed.
