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.

My wife and I spent one night there this summer. Quiet, barren park with lovely views of the water. Very pleasant right up until the hail storm! Quarter size hail pounded the area for 45 minutes. Not a camper in sight avoided damage. We left early the next morning to get repairs to broken sky lights, screens and torn canvas. Life in the great outdoors!
