Nice clean campsite on the Missouri river just below canyon ferry dam. Lots of hiking trails and UTV trails close by. Best burger in the Helena area is just a few miles down the road at the York Bar.

Camp host was rude and used curse words at my kids. I will never camp here again. People ram generators all night he didn't say anything to them. Bathrooms were dirty.

For a dry campground, this place is awesome. Finding a site and making reservations on the website was a breeze. Camp host had my spot marked with a reservations sign with my name. Water to fill my tank was easily accessible. The river was beautiful, caught fish. Couldn't of been any better.
