It’s not great, it’s not completely terrible. The restrooms are very clean and smell okay. But you won’t sleep well there. Train tracks are right next to the campground and trains come through all night, always loudly honking to announce themselves. Also there’s a few campers who kinda live there and have a generator running all the time (also noisy). It doesn’t seem very safe. Only good for when you pass through and need a stay. If you can, find anything else
i live in Townsend and i love hiking, but some times you can't get into the hills. this sight has a great path around a nice pond and a couple laps feel good, then a walk down to the mighty Missouri river just hundreds of feet away. Beautiful place, in a perfect little town.
This was a surprising little discovery we made while poking around Townsend. This campground has fishing ponds in the day use area for kids 14 and below and for anyone handi-capable. Bathrooms are close to the ponds and are clean. There are also nice pavilions for a picnic. There s a little trail that goes around the pond and lots of areas to access the water. Beware - there are signs that recommend that you don't swim....leeches. Also saw a snake in the water.
