Deerlodge/Beaver Dam

It was very secluded, loved that that there are only 15 campsites, Hardly any traffic, best part no cell service! So you can actually disconnect. It does say there is a creek, however, if you like to go poking around the bear brush then I’m sure you could find the teeny tiny creek that flows through there. We were not that venturous, so we drove to an actual lake. If you don’t care about being close to water than it’s not a bad spot to camp, but we were here in 90° weather and would have preferred some sort of water, especially for the dogs. Side note: Horse flies are awful, awful, awful up there.

Beautiful campground. Campsites are far enough away from each other that you have a little bit of privacy. We went on Monday In July and there was only one other camper there. Camping was $15 a night. Bathrooms were clean. We took a walk at dusk and seen lots of wild visitors to camp. Be bear prepared. Yeti sells a cooler that you can add a lock to. Store garbage in your car.

Really enjoy this campground. It's pretty quiet and calm most of the time. Has vault toilets, drinking water, picnic area with group fire pit, and lots of area to explore nearby.

Easy access from I-15. Only about a 15 minute drive up into the pines. The campground has fun rock features and hiking nearby. The road is a little bumpy but easily accessible in a car. We had a truck and 30 foot trailer and other than driving a bit slower to smooth out the bumps, we had no trouble. Several camp sights were pull throughs. Also many nice picnic areas available for day use. We called the ranger office ahead, and they said it rarely fills up. We had no trouble finding a spot on a Friday evening in June. We would come again.

Great place to camp during Tour Divide, Bear boxes for your food and water pumps

Off the beaten path. Had to drive through many herds of cows. Very quiet. Clean bathroom, nice rocks.

Beaverdam Campground has everything you need for a comfortable camping trip in the woods of Montana. Vault toilets are fairly clean (for vault toilets 😁), and the readily available water means you can stay for days without worrying about washing or drinking water. The location can't be beat...great trails, good climbing trees, standing rocks for kids to climb...our daughter loved watching the wildlife. It's peaceful, quiet, lots of space between mist of the sites...and you can't beat the price of $5 per night (or $2.50 discounted). The chipmunks might drive you crazy by getting into your truck, but they're manageable! And it's well worth the trouble to stay at this first come, first serve campground. The road in is a bit bumpy with washboard in some places, but we had no problem getting our large travel trailer in and out. This is easily one of our favorite boondocking spots yet!

Beautiful place. Tons of mosquitoes but enjoyed our stay. Road was a bit bumpy in spots but overall doable for a bigger trailer

$5 to camp, pretty good sites ... Water looked rusty color. Didn't see hiking trails but you could try scrambling to the tops of the many Rock outcrops. Cows in campground, not sure why, seems like they are trapped. Saw a big bull moose.

Great spot to camp! Lots of sites to choose from. Lots of bear proof equipment. Toilets. And great hikes around the area.
