Using 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.

This site has some accommodations for the campers that make it a good spot to set up your tent. There is fire pits already established, you may bring your pets and there are public restroom facilities. The activities available are far too many to list but a few are hiking, bird watching, horseback riding, picnicking and wildlife viewing. This site is open from May to November for visitors and campers.

The Makoshika, or Bad lands, is another popular camping area. The area houses fossil remains and displays of triceratops and tyrannosaurus dinosaurs. You can visit sites that have fossilized foot prints from these ancient animals as well as sites that are sacred to the Lakota Indians who are indigenous to this area. This site also offers camping, day use and a number of amenities that improve the experience for everyone. You will find gift stores as well as a number of other activities for you and your family.

The limit of days you may remain camping at Makoshika is thirty. There are plenty of activities available to keep you busy every day if that is what you are looking for. In season you can go deer and bird hunting or choose to observe the wild life and birds from binoculars or a camera lens. As with most other camping sites your pets are welcome but must be kept on leashes while at the park. You can also do some amateur archaeology, geology and paleontology while camping here.

Resident Native Americans came to Medicine Rocks long ago to conjure up big medicine for the hunting parties in their tribes. They named the area and it was a sacred spot to them. The landscape is sandstone and spruce trees that are blown and shaped by the wind and weather leaving unique and beautiful formations. One can easily see why it was so special to the Native American Tribes.

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.
