Chester City Park

Really easy to find and super conveniently located not far from Rt 2. We just pulled in and parked it in the gravel lot by the pavilion. No hookups or spaces, really. There is a donation box so we gave $5. There are restrooms and a nice sized park where I was able to walk the dogs. A great find for a nice stop in our journey across Montana.

One note, along route 2 is an active train line. I don't think you'd be able to find a place to stay along that road without train noise, but if that bothers you I would try going a few miles more south than this place. As for me, with my ear plugs in, I was not bothered by the over night trains.

So, first the bad... the train tracks are less than 1/2 mile from the park and trains travel through the area A LOT and must blow their horns at each crossing (for safety). This is ok during the day, but at night, holy goodness, it gets loud and startling! I think they stop rolling through around 11 PM, then pick back up around 4 AM; at least that's what my sleep semi-deprived brain remembers. Now the good... Beautiful park, very well maintained, bathrooms are clean, water spigot available, trash receptacle available, gorgeous garden in corner of park area maintained by local garden club, play equipment is pretty new and the kids loved it. There is a donation box, but nothing is required. The lot is gravel and river rock, easy to enter and exit. We parked right next to the park, away from the pavilion, which ended up being a great decision. A local home school group came out for a pot luck and meet up, and we would have blocked the entire thing. Nobody had an issue with our rig. The neighbors didn't seem to mind. We had both Verizon and AT&T, but can't remember the exact signal strength, just that it was enough for me to work remotely.

City Park with garden donated by city garden club. Very pretty! Children’s play area swings, jungle gym all on grass!

The parking lot is mostly gravel covered. There are 2 large pavilions with picnic tables. Bathrooms and large trash bin located near designated tent area.

Located right off Rte2. Arrived in a downpour, backed in to an area by the pavilion and plan to stay the night. Quiet neighborhood, trains in the background, no one seemed bothered an RV was in the lot. No charge; 3 day camping limit. Put a $5- donation in box provided.

Nothing fancy but a nice large gravel surface parking lot next to a small well kept community park with a playground, beautiful flower garden with benches and clean bathrooms with flush toilets and running water. No specified camping spaces, lot is large enough to accommodate larger rigs. No hookups, camping limit is 3 nights, tents are allowed in a specified grassy area, no fee is required but donations are appreciated (we donated $5 a night) and donation box is on-site. There is also a large pavilion and covered picnic area with picnic tables in the camping area. Great Verizon signal!
Lots of train traffic which didn't bother us but if you don't appreciate trains it's likely to be a problem.
