Had a great time at this camp site. It was very nice and clean and had a nice shady spot to pitch the tent. Very nice grounds keeper and it was all a great experience!!! We had a fire ring and did marshmallows with chocolate and graham crackers and also cooked hotdogs. Fun times. Restrooms were clean and smelled good. Very nice. 25.00 fee was great!!

Great campground and well maintained. C.L.E.A.N. Pit toilets with hand sanitizer station that was actually always filled. Campground was nicely spread out with just enough trees for decent shade. Water from shared spigots but I didn't see any sites w/ hookups. Boat launch near by. Sturdy docks for boats and a nice beach for swimming in and relaxing on. Site payment is by either card or cash. If you choose card, you'll be walking down towards the beach for payment. Made for a close by day trip to Lewis and Clark center in Great Falls and First People's Buffalo Jump State Park, in Ulm (just off the 15 freeway, south of Great Falls) both in one day. The road in is pavement half the way and narrow gravel the ladder half. It didn't appear that many sites would fit much more then around a 30' RV. There are sites that over look the lake, but no trees. Reservations aren't required and you can usually grab a mid week peak time site for a few days ,but if youre looking for a weekend, then I highly recommend reservations.

Awesome spot on Holter, be warned cell service is spotty.

Great little campground! We stayed in the tent sites in a holler past the RV area. Very clean facilities and sites. Beautiful boat launch and sturdy docks/slips. The campground hoast was very pleasant and patient with us regarding the new card tap reservation system. All in all this is a 10/10!! Picture is not my dog, but a very good girl helping her humans to the boat!

We went camping here for a couple of days during the summer. The staff are really nice and keep the place tidy. It's a pretty popular place, the beach usually had people, most of the campsites were filled, the day sites were full, docks were full. We caught lots of fish, and no one really bothered us. The road in is sketchy, small dirt road with blind corners. I wish the bathrooms were a little nicer. I would go again tho.

Quiet camping spots, spaced out nicely and away from the noisy beach/boating areas. Now my favorite place to camp.
