Choteau City Park

We were on our way to Glacier NP and stopped here for a short night. It is in the downtown area of town. The park and restroom are clean. There is a dump and fresh water to boot! And the sites are flat as pancakes.

TAKE NOTE: Google takes you towards the disc golf course, but really what you are looking for is the entrance parallel to the 3 bigs silos. The RV encampment is closer to the silos than to the park.

Verizon was speedy here.

There are silos downtown and so there is a distinct smell of silage that hangs over the town, but you get used to it. We burned some incense until we acclimated.

The mosquitos were pterodactyl-sized so have your bug spray ready before you get out of your vehicle to set up camp.

It is about 2 hours from Glacier.

Lovely green grass beside a creek 1 block from town. Very pretty spot, clean toilets, a few mosquitoes. Very flat spots, there were 3 of us here and room for another 3 or so in the immediate area and more spaces on on the townside of the creek. fire rings here too. The only downside was a family of locals came to swim in the creek and then lit a fire and the kids were cold and loud till 10.30pm and made a hell of a mess in the toilets, gives us campers a bad name! We walked into town to the Log Cabin and had a great meal there.

We needed to break our trip up to Glacier National Park so we could get in early the next day for a FCFS site. This was about 90 miles away from East Glacier. Ideally for a stop like this, we love it if the spot is long enough that we don't have to unhitch, and there is good cell service so we can just cozy up watch some TV, before hitting the road early next morning.

This campground fit both of these criteria. It was a few steps from the downtown, which doesn't have a whole lot on offer, but we understood the restaurant that is there is good. We didn't make it in. There is a store too, but it was closed by the time we arrived on Sunday.

For $8 it was a good value stop, and that included fresh water and a dump station on site. Apart from that, this park doesn't have a whole lot going for it. It is not very pretty and is a little dirty.

There is a 3 day stay limit, First come first served. But for anything more than an overnight stop I think you would want to choose something more scenic.
