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.

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.

This site has some accommodations for the campers that make it a good spot to set up your tent. There is fire pits already established, you may bring your pets and there are public restroom facilities. The activities available are far too many to list but a few are hiking, bird watching, horseback riding, picnicking and wildlife viewing. This site is open from May to November for visitors and campers.

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.

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 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.
