Traveling Through 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.

Buffalo camp area has just opened to the public and of course has limited camping sites available. This area is located just four miles north of Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. This site can be accessed by gravel and dirt roads only.

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.

In the Bad Lands you will find camp sites for tents, trailers and recreational vehicles. This area is famous for the dinosaur fossils that have been found here. You are able to walk in the foot prints of a triceratops and then go shopping in one of the gift shops available for you. This area is a little more commercialized than many sites and as such offers a much larger selection of activities for you and your family.

There is a thirty day limit on the camp sites in this area but you can do something different everyday that you are there. You may participate in amateur archaeology and geology while camping here. Or take up learning archery, horseback riding and wildlife photography while hiking or walking the area.

The camping area called Medicine Rocks was named by the Native American tribe that inhabited that area. The tribe would go there to prior to a hunt to get the Gods to make big magic for the hunters. This isn't the biggest park but it is probably the most scenic area for photography buffs. The sand stone rocks are carved by weather and fierce winds that wear holes through the stone and create spires that point to the sky.

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.

If you find yourself traveling through the RV parks and campgrounds East Montana you will find many beautiful places to camp. The general landscape of this state lends itself to recreation and history as few other states can. Everyone should see this state from a camp site.
