Traveling Through RV Parks And Campgrounds East Montana

By Nelda Powers


When you get the opportunity to visit RV parks and campgrounds East Montana you are in for a real treat. They are not nearly as numerous as you may find elsewhere in the state but they are just as beautiful. Many of the camping areas are located in wildlife refuges that are state operated and offer excellent camp sites for tents and recreational vehicles.

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.

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.

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 Lake is deep and clear with sandy beaches and is surrounded by fields of grasses and spring wheat. You can swim in the northern end of this lake and day use is nearby for picnics and other recreational pursuits. The lake area offers all the amenities needed for day use such as fire rings and picnic tables but because of mineral content in the water there are no fish living in the lake. Visitors can boat on this lake and swim without any risk from the mineral content of the water.

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.
