Dispersed camping along the Missouri River defines this Army Corps of Engineers site, where campers set up directly beside the tailrace waters below Big Bend Dam. The facility provides basic amenities including restrooms, picnic tables, and trash service across both drive-in and walk-in areas. RV camping is not permitted due to size restrictions.
Anglers access the tailrace fishing area directly from camp, while kayakers launch into the current below the dam structure. The Left Tailrace sits just across the water for comparison options. Campers planning extended stays should bring their own water, as none is available on-site.
