Finding RV Parks And Campgrounds East Montana

By Nelda Powers


When planning a vacation there can be no better place to start than the RV parks and campgrounds East Montana. The camping areas offer the best accommodations available in the North Western United states. The camp sites and adjoining recreational vehicle hook-ups offer the most beautiful landscapes, lakes and rivers in the country.

A very new camping site that just opened near a national wildlife refuge is called Buffalo Camp. This site can only be reached by traversing five miles of bad road and is too primitive for anything other than tent camping. It is a pack in and pack out site that has no fee for campers and no limitation on the length of stay.

Although the area is primitive there are several activities available to you. You can take advantage of wildlife and bird watching opportunities, hiking or just relaxing for a few hours. There are fire rings and picnic tables for day use as well as campers, public restrooms are also available at this site.

In the Bad Lands there are camping areas that are more commercial than others in the area. The Lakota Indians named the Bad Lands because of the appearance of rocks and trees in the area. The weather and winds carve the sandstone into unique shapes and shape the trees with wind gusts. The Bad Lands is also the site of many dinosaur fossils and foot prints. You can literally walk where they walked. There are many camp sites and motor home hook ups at this site.

The limit of days you may remain camping at Makoshika is thirty. There are plenty of activities available to keep you busy every day if that is what you are looking for. In season you can go deer and bird hunting or choose to observe the wild life and birds from binoculars or a camera lens. As with most other camping sites your pets are welcome but must be kept on leashes while at the park. You can also do some amateur archaeology, geology and paleontology while camping here.

Resident Native Americans came to Medicine Rocks long ago to conjure up big medicine for the hunting parties in their tribes. They named the area and it was a sacred spot to them. The landscape is sandstone and spruce trees that are blown and shaped by the wind and weather leaving unique and beautiful formations. One can easily see why it was so special to the Native American Tribes.

Brush Creek camping area holds a two hundred eighty acre lake. It runs clear and deep and is available for swimming and boating. There is no fishing from this lake though because the mineral content will not support fish. There are fire rings and restroom facilities at this camp area and it has a boat ramp and docking area for boats. The chemical content the water has is not dangerous to humans for swimming or wading.

When traveling the RV parks and campgrounds East Montana you will find that the opportunities for true adventure and beauty are many. You may not have the multitude of sites to choose from as are west of there but Montana is a place of unbridled beauty that encompasses the entire state. There is no wrong place to camp.
