Nothing fancy, not a super accessible wading spot to river. But cool spot for what it is. Bees were gnarly at the time we visited.
Where to start? After 800 miles ovet two days alone my 7 year old we just needed to stretch our legs and then sleep. Seeing our "condition," that it was mid-week that the season was hadn't quite started yet, our host welcomed us and said we could stay the night for free.
Obviously the free aspect won't be the norm, but I'd gladly pay the 20 dollar per night tent camping fee next time we're in Fort Benton to camp along the Missouri River.
$12/night to pitch a tent. It’s right by the river and the view is beautiful. However, it was very frustrating to pull up, exhausted, drive a good distance from camp host, who had her dog off leash and was not even monitoring the dog, let our dogs out to play in the river (zero interaction between the dogs whatsoever) and have the camp host come out and holler across the drive that our dogs needed to be on leash. When her dog was not on leash, no signs indicated it, and our dogs were not near her, her dog, or anyone for that matter. Respectfully, who would want to camp with their dog on leash? Seems like you can’t do anything these days without someone controlling your every move.
Seems like an ideal place for a single person without pets to stay. Wouldn’t recommend it otherwise.
Pretty basic. The tents site don't have a place to park your car like "in" the site, it's more like parking on the side of the main road. $10 for tent, $20 for RV. Fire pit, concrete picnic tables, vault toilet. But decent hot showers, running water, and flush toilets next door at the fairgrounds we could use. Great location to explore Fort Benton for a night or two.
Camped midweek with our 33ft motorhome. Plenty of space. Hubby had no trouble backing in. Located on the backside of the fairgrounds, next to the river. Away from traffic and noise, yet close to downtown Fort Benton. Camp Host was very nice. Great place to relax and unwind. Very reasonably priced.Look forward to staying there again.
