About Court Sheriff Campground

Court Sheriff Campground is located at the very north end of Canyon Ferry Reservoir, 30 miles east of Helena, Montana, along Montana Highway 284. Court Sheriff Campground offers year-round access to a wide range of recreational opportunities. Court Sheriff Campground is named for the Sheriff family. In 1865 Court Sheriff moved into the region from the state of Illinois to Montana to work the mines. Court Sheriff first worked the mines in Diamond City, then hired on as a carpenter to help build a wooden flume for the Magpie-Gave Hill ditch. In 1875 he opened a general mercantile to serve the miners east of the Missouri River at Cavetown. He moved to nearby Canyon Ferry in 1880, and by 1883 had established a general store and later added a livery stable and two-and-a-half-story hotel.

Enjoyed our three nights on the lake. Sites are nice size, paved, fire rings and tables, no water or electricity or dump station. Cell services is good, for Verizon. We always go during the week so nice and quiet.

Beautiful view on the waterfront and with mountains in the background, camping lots were spaced out enough, no showers or camp store, could swim from camp site

The people who were camping next to me ran their generator all night. No camp host visible for most of the time. Seems like no one cares about the camp grounds anymore!
