Chinamen’s campground is an excellent place for the whole family! It’s very clean both on the grounds and in the bathrooms! The view are stunning, the cost is very reasonable, and it is great for simply swimming or boating! I highly recommend staying there! If I had any complaints it would be that there is only one handicapped spot with a cement pad. I hope that they put in one or two more but it is a small campground so that may be very difficult for them to do.

My wife and I stopped in at this camp site late at night. Step up our starlink and reserved a spot. Was very quiet and clean. Very impressed with Montanas camping. The only thing I would like to see is being able to use cash still. Thank you. Hope to visit again in the future and enjoy the lake!

Please DO NOT bring the camp host back next year!! They are quite lazy. Bathrooms are usually not horrible and this 4 days we were camping, they were absolutely disgusting! Come on, it was Labor Day weekend! You don't EVER see the woman, just the man and VERY RARELY!! They are not available like camp hosts should be and they are clearly not peoply people. They don't welcome you (like the guy previously did). Our fire pit was completely full of ash and there was trash under the picnic table...Pretty sure all that should have been taken care of before we got there so we could enjoy our camping spot, but we had to clean it up before we could.

The sites are pretty small and close together, not a lot of space for a tent. I'm glad I purchased 2 spaces next to each other. 2 tents would have never fit into one space, even with 1 tent it was too close to the fire pit for safety. Our picnic table was practically touching the neighbors tent. Without having the 2 spaces it wouldn't have been enough space for a family. Odd piles of rocks randomly. They kind of need an overhaul and maybe somehow separate the spots so people stay within their own space

They need to make camp spot big for camper to greet in out easier.

Camp Host is wasting space for someone who could be more helpful and understanding of what and why people go camping. Allows ‘buddies’ to play loud music whenever they want, ruining the peaceful environment.
