Traveling Through RV Parks And Campgrounds East Montana

By Nelda Powers


When planning a vacation there can be no better place to start than the RV parks and campgrounds East Montana. The camping areas offer the best accommodations available in the North Western United states. The camp sites and adjoining recreational vehicle hook-ups offer the most beautiful landscapes, lakes and rivers in the country.

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.

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.

You can remain at Makoshika, or the Bad Lands, for thirty days if you are camping. With the many activities to choose from you can have full days the entire time you spend here. There is hiking, hunting in season, photography wild life and birds, and a multitude of other things to choose from. You are allowed camp for fourteen consecutive days in any thirty day period and the rates are very reasonable.

Medicine Rocks was named because the resident Indians came to them to conjure big medicine for the tribal hunting parties. The area is primarily sand stone rock formations and the wind and weather has them carved up like Swiss cheese. This park is relatively small compared to others but was described as "fantastically beautiful" by Teddy Roosevelt in the late 1800s.

Brush Lake is deep and clear with sandy beaches and is surrounded by fields of grasses and spring wheat. You can swim in the northern end of this lake and day use is nearby for picnics and other recreational pursuits. The lake area offers all the amenities needed for day use such as fire rings and picnic tables but because of mineral content in the water there are no fish living in the lake. Visitors can boat on this lake and swim without any risk from the mineral content of the water.

The rv parks and campgrounds East Montana may not be as numerous or well known as the ones on the western side of the state. Fortunately they offer the same amenities as the others without the crowds. The kind of deal anyone can appreciate.
