Finding RV Parks And Campgrounds East Montana

By Nelda Powers


There is no shortage of rv parks and campgrounds east Montana although they are not as numerous as the Western part of this state. This is a state that has a multitude of state managed lands that are also refuges for wild birds and animals. Many refuges support camping as well as day use activities.

One of their newest camping areas to open is called Buffalo camp. It is a very primitive site that can only be accessed by driving over miles of dirt and gravel roads. This camping area is only for tents at this time but it offers typical amenities for visitors. Because it is a primitive site you must carry your supplies to the camp site and carry them back out when you leave.

Fire pits and restrooms make this site agreeable for everyone. Your pets are welcome here as with most other sites in this state. You can spend the days bird watching, hiking or picnicking after your hike. People make their way to this site for day use or overnight camping from May to November when the season closes.

The Makoshika, or Bad lands, is another popular camping area. The area houses fossil remains and displays of triceratops and tyrannosaurus dinosaurs. You can visit sites that have fossilized foot prints from these ancient animals as well as sites that are sacred to the Lakota Indians who are indigenous to this area. This site also offers camping, day use and a number of amenities that improve the experience for everyone. You will find gift stores as well as a number of other activities for you and your family.

You can remain at Makoshika, or the Bad Lands, for thirty days if you are camping. With the many activities to choose from you can have full days the entire time you spend here. There is hiking, hunting in season, photography wild life and birds, and a multitude of other things to choose from. You are allowed camp for fourteen consecutive days in any thirty day period and the rates are very reasonable.

Medicine Rocks was named because the resident Indians came to them to conjure big medicine for the tribal hunting parties. The area is primarily sand stone rock formations and the wind and weather has them carved up like Swiss cheese. This park is relatively small compared to others but was described as "fantastically beautiful" by Teddy Roosevelt in the late 1800s.

Brush Lake is another beautiful camping site. It has deep and clear water and white sandy beaches. The mineral content of the water in this lake prevents fish from thriving in its waters. Fortunately the minerals do not affect humans in any way and are safe for recreational use. Boating and swimming is allowed and popular as well as many other recreational activities. You may use the fire rings and picnic areas as day use or set up camp and stay awhile. There is room for all modes of camper from tents to those who have motor homes to stay in.

The rv parks and campgrounds East Montana may not be as numerous or well known as the ones on the western side of the state. Fortunately they offer the same amenities as the others without the crowds. The kind of deal anyone can appreciate.
