Situated in the heart of a small ranching community, this park provides a straightforward, no-frills camping experience that prioritizes ease of access and local hospitality. It serves as an excellent alternative to larger, more crowded commercial campgrounds, allowing visitors to enjoy the slower pace of Big Sky Country while remaining close to essential travel routes. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, reflecting the authentic Montana spirit found in this historic town.

The park is nestled within the town of Drummond, MT, often referred to as the Bullshippers Capital of the World. Its location provides scenic mountain views and proximity to the Clark Fork River, making it a picturesque place to unhitch for the night. The surrounding landscape is dominated by rolling hills and wide-open pastures, capturing the essence of rural Montana. Because it is located just off the highway, it offers unbeatable convenience for those on long cross-country hauls looking for a safe place to rest.

The park features designated RV sites equipped with electric hookups and access to potable water during the warmer months. There is a communal on-site dump station available for guest use, which is a significant perk for long-distance travelers. The grounds are well-maintained with lush grassy areas and picnic tables, providing a pleasant space for outdoor meals. While the setup is simple, the presence of clean restrooms and a nearby playground makes it a highly functional choice for families.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Good glamping spot with hook-ups for water and electricity for $25. and $10. None electric. Score it a five if trash had been picked up.
Thom Hughes
Wonderful little city park with camping. Perfect stop over on a road trip. Thank you Drummond!
Sheila Crame
It was a nice place to stay. The down fall is you have to pay with cash only (thank goodness for our wash quarters! ) & none of the electric sites work.

Fun little place to rest our legs on a long road trip

This campground was cute and close to the freeway, so a great cheap and quick stop while traveling. Google maps - and the campground - didn't give us a great idea of where the restrooms are. It's not the large building for the adjoining ball field, it's the tiny buildings that look like a pump house. There were some sprinklers that seem to be running non-stop. But we had fun and I liked that there was a little playground for my kids to play on while we packed up to leave!
