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.
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.
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 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.
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.
