Finding RV Parks And Campgrounds East Montana

By Nelda Powers


When you get the opportunity to visit RV parks and campgrounds East Montana you are in for a real treat. They are not nearly as numerous as you may find elsewhere in the state but they are just as beautiful. Many of the camping areas are located in wildlife refuges that are state operated and offer excellent camp sites for tents and recreational vehicles.

Buffalo camp area has just opened to the public and of course has limited camping sites available. This area is located just four miles north of Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. This site can be accessed by gravel and dirt roads only.

This site has some accommodations for the campers that make it a good spot to set up your tent. There is fire pits already established, you may bring your pets and there are public restroom facilities. The activities available are far too many to list but a few are hiking, bird watching, horseback riding, picnicking and wildlife viewing. This site is open from May to November for visitors and campers.

In the Bad Lands you will find camp sites for tents, trailers and recreational vehicles. This area is famous for the dinosaur fossils that have been found here. You are able to walk in the foot prints of a triceratops and then go shopping in one of the gift shops available for you. This area is a little more commercialized than many sites and as such offers a much larger selection of activities for you and your family.

You can remain at Makoshika, or the Bad Lands, for thirty days if you are camping. With the many activities to choose from you can have full days the entire time you spend here. There is hiking, hunting in season, photography wild life and birds, and a multitude of other things to choose from. You are allowed camp for fourteen consecutive days in any thirty day period and the rates are very reasonable.

Resident Native Americans came to Medicine Rocks long ago to conjure up big medicine for the hunting parties in their tribes. They named the area and it was a sacred spot to them. The landscape is sandstone and spruce trees that are blown and shaped by the wind and weather leaving unique and beautiful formations. One can easily see why it was so special to the Native American Tribes.

Brush Lake is another beautiful camping site. It has deep and clear water and white sandy beaches. The mineral content of the water in this lake prevents fish from thriving in its waters. Fortunately the minerals do not affect humans in any way and are safe for recreational use. Boating and swimming is allowed and popular as well as many other recreational activities. You may use the fire rings and picnic areas as day use or set up camp and stay awhile. There is room for all modes of camper from tents to those who have motor homes to stay in.

If you find yourself traveling through the RV parks and campgrounds East Montana you will find many beautiful places to camp. The general landscape of this state lends itself to recreation and history as few other states can. Everyone should see this state from a camp site.
