This is a beautiful campground on the Missouri River. We had a wonderful time fishing the Missouri River and caught some delicious rainbow trout. The campground is clean and well maintained. We have reservations to go again in July. And, it is so very nice that we can now reserve a campsite online! Thank you!

We enjoy going there very much. Campground hosts are very friendly. Of course a place to dock a boat would be great but that is a bit much to ask for. Still a go to place for us.

Nice campground but need more docking area to get your boat in and out,as well as an area to tie your your boat up for a short period or even overnight.

The campground was clean and easy to navigate. We had no trouble getting our 38 foot 5th wheel into our campsite. Our site was right on the river and had a beautiful view. This campground is ideal for boaters. Next year we will bring our pontoon, which you can tie up right on the riverbank next to your campsite if get a site along the river. The campground itself is a bit austere regarding the beauty of a natural setting but there were walking paths and a nice view of the dam. We were extremely pleased. The proximity of the campground to Helena (20 minute drive) made a nice touch when we wanted to go to a nice restaurant or catch a movie.

We have used this campground for many years. It's very well designed and well maintained, but the best feature is the excellent camp hosts.
