Chinamen's Campground

Excellent, fun, helpful camp hosts. Day users were somewhat intrusive in our space at the bottom end of the campground but it wasn't for the entire stay which was good. Surprised that the sites were not made with longer RV's in mind. We could barely fit our 21 ft trailer into most in the lower area. Clean bathrooms, nice beach area.

camp host done everything needed for a small problem with site 12 thank you!!!

Beautiful area and great access to the water. However, the camp hostess was not interested in doing her job but was more interested and day drinking down by the water and partying all night with other camp attendees, which meant that no one was going to get the 10 pm quiet hours enforcement. When another camp attendee had had enough and asked the site to be done, at 1 am, they threw a huge screaming melt down fit. People were allowed to do just about anything at this campground, no rules applied. The amount of garbage in the sites and around was gross. No garbage can at the bathrooms so tons of feminine products and other garbage just strewn about. I did go around the sites I had reserved and the bathrooms and picked up trash. This camp hostess could not be bothered to fill the toilet paper in the bathrooms, my husband had to go rouse her from her slumber at 5 pm to get toilet paper installed….”I’ll look into that” she told him and then over an hour later she came out and filled the toilet paper. Good thing we bring our own for cases like this. I think you can do better than Jessica, forest service.

Worst experience ever I have camped there every summer but this was awful. There was trash all over the place and dogs pooping all over beach. There was a whole camp site up the that looked like a trash dump !! The camp host didn’t care about the quality or respect of the camp area they contributed to it

Our camping experience at Chinamen's Campground on Canyon Ferry Lake, Montana, was only fair and definitely not relaxing. The camp host openly allowed loud music, multiple vehicles and campers at campsites, did not check ID's to see if occupying campers were registered and pre-paid, allowed drive-in parties without reservations to stay at open campsites without paying camping fees, and allowed jet-ski craft to park and go on the SW beach.

Absolutely the worst campground we’ve ever stayed at! There is nothing about this CG being a day use area in the facility description nor on the entrance sign. However, campers beware…this place was overrun with locals all 3 days we were there (we actually left 1 day early because we couldn’t take it anymore) We felt like we were camping in the middle of a parking lot. There is no fee for the day use so this place was completely overrun with cars, people and even dogs off leash. Locals were parking in the empty campground sites. When a truck pulling a trailer showed up he couldn’t even get past all the cars blocking the loop and then had to wait an hour until the “host” could find the owners of vehicles parked in his reserved site.
Quiet hours were a joke. There were intoxicated groups in campsites blasting loud music and using loud profanity throughout the whole night.
Bathrooms - DISGUSTING!!! When you have hundreds and hundreds of people using vault toilets all weekend that are meant to be there for a limited number of campsites, not a good thing.
Campground “host” - worthless and pretty much nonexistent. Then again, can you blame her. I doubt she signed up to monitor the thousands of day use people that show up for a free day on the lake. I wish there was a way to add photos to this review

The camping was extremely nice and a good get away. The problems we had was with the camping host.

The camp host is amazing very kind and friendly and does an amazing job at keeping up with everything

Campsite 26 at chinamen is dog***t! There's a hill running right through the middle of it and no truly flat area for your tent. Have fun sleeping on a slope with rocks and a hole underneath your tent! The picnic table there is also awful. Every other camp site had a fairly new and solid bench but this sight has a worn down piece of garbage. Also, nobody cleaned the site before I arrived. There were a comical number of pinecones littering the site. I don't mean just a few. It was ridiculous. Fix this campsite and give it proper service.

Beautiful and peaceful very nice our whole family enjoyed thank you
