Beautiful campground right on the lake. Very few trees, but we were on a cove and our site was on the end of about four. We will visit again!

About White Earth Campground
White Earth Group Use Shelter is located at White Earth Campground, just east of the town of Winston, Montana, on Canyon Ferry Reservoir. In 1805, the Lewis and Clark expedition passed through this region. On July 22, 1805, Sacagawea recognizes the country and assures the men that the three forks of the Missouri were of no great distance. This news gave the expedition hope in the anticipation of soon reaching the headwaters of the Missouri River.

This campground is located by a peaceful lake with mountains at the far shore. If you're looking for something quiet and secluded, this spot is ideal. The site is several miles off the main road and tucked away behind some farmland. While my sister and I are not experienced campers, we felt very safe here. The site included parking, a fire pit, and a sturdy picnic table. We easily found firewood out by the lake. The bathroom was much nicer than I anticipated. Clean, plenty of toilet paper, and hand sanitizer. Our host, Bob was delightful, and checked in on us several times during our four day stay. Our first night there the temperature dropped into the 30's with rain, and 50 mph gusts. Bob politely expressed his concern and checked on us in the morning. Overall, a great experience.
