"This is a nice campground and the availability of the boat launch is convenient and well planned out with plenty of spaces to park your boat on the water. Clean site and the Montana locals are helpful and great to be around.

The campground is well kept. We unfortunately were there on the 4th of July. The privately owned lodging immediately next to our campsite shot off very loud fireworks for over an hour pass 10pm on both nights we were camping.

Only thing that would make it better is if it had full hook up. Or a sewage hook up or power. Or anything. Other than that it’s a peaceful campground
