The camp host Josh was amazing and very helpful. Josh does an excellent job keeping the facilities and campsites immaculately clean. The sites are well laid out with many pull throughs. It was peaceful and quiet on our stay.

The campground is very clean and we'll kept. Josh does a great job keeping the bathrooms very clean as well as being very helpful when needed.

There was no swimming in the lake due to bacteria and it was over 95 degrees. Also the flies were terrible, possibly due to the overloaded garbage receptacle which also smelled terribly. There was no privacy; my husband and I felt like a personal viewing opportunity for the couple across from us who sat in their lawn chairs for 5+ hours watching us put up our tent, cook dinner, etc. However, the bathrooms were clean.

We stay here often. The host is new this year, maybe new to hosting? Very friendly, but needs to enforce the established rules. Generators being used outside of quiet hours and loud music led us to cut our cut short this July 4th.

Our condolences for Bob's (the previous year's camp host) family but Josh did a good job. Thanks for a great time.
@EarlineO76FF03 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #25
Josh does an outstanding job of maintaining this campground. He is friendly & personable and takes great care of the toilets & grounds. This is one of the nicer campgrounds we have stayed in for quite some time. It is quiet & peaceful, with easy access & a fairly good road to get to it.

My family loves this campground and we've held our annual family camping get-together here for a number of years. The grounds are well-kept, each site was designed well, and the outhouses are always clean and stocked. The camp host, Bob, does a great job ensuring everyone is safe and that campers' needs are met.

Not very large but enough space to enjoy your site. Located on the Missouri river, looked like some pretty good fishing. The dam us just up stream and depending on the outflow sounds like rapids or more. No dumping, but trash and water. We enjoyed or stay, although my wife preferred Hellsgate up on the reservoir lake area. Many good campgrounds in the area. Its paid boondocking with amenities. Good boat launch and small parking area. Nice clean and probably hot in the summer. We were there after Labor day and it was fine
@Marialena088A8 · Camped on Aug 28, 2023 at Campsite #26
We stayed here for 4 nights. Used the camp as home base while checking out the area. Quiet right by the lake. Wish we had a boat. Would stay here again.
@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #14
Excellent campground. No dump facilities, had to go into Helena. Host did a great job. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Saw wildlife on regular basis. Very peaceful campground and boat landing. Would go back. Regular patrols of local sheriff.

Great camp host
@BrittanyG8E436 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #4
Bob, the camp host, is the best! He comes around a couple times a day and asks if theres anything we needed, never had that anywhere else. The sites and bathrooms were kept very clean and stocked and our dogs loved him. Beautiful place, quiet and so friendly. Cant wait to go back.
@RachelS6363728 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #25
Couldnt ask for a better host! Bob always makes sure the guests are taken care of.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
