Benchmark Camping area is located approximately 30 miles west of Augusta, Montana. It has 25 campsites and available from Summer until Fall. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
In Augusta, MT, take County Rt. 435 for 0.3 miles to Fishing Access, Bean Lake sign (Eberl St.). Turn right onto Eberl St. (which becomes Laurel St. almost immediately and then Forest Rt. 235) and go 14.7 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left (following Benchmark sign) and go 15.4 miles to Benchmark campground sign. Turn left and go 0.3 miles to campground.
We have camped there for years and love it. Never have seen it so crowded!! We were thankful the bathrooms got cleaned!
Nice campground. Lots of trees. Lots of space between spots. Large parking areas.
Nice camp spots! Web says 25 spots, however i didnt see 25 camper type camp spots, some must be for the horse folks.
This is an awesome campground, close to trail to Bob Marshall wilderness, works fine if you are self contained. can obtain horses at the Benchmark wilderness ranch., Easy to drive to,even for large motor home, very quiet.
