Fort Buford State Historic Site

Perfect overnight spot, only ones there and couldn't have felt safer. Use the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Center entrance to avoid questionable road. Sign asks that you check-in with Center, it was closed when we arrived, but I'm sure you can leave a message or an email.

Arrive mid afternoon on a Monday, Checking at Confuluence center was. Loved so sent an email. It's no frills. Just open grassy area with a few fire pits. 22 miles to the closest grocery, but only 5 to Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site. The Fort and Cemetary are near. Didn't see any water available, so come prepared. Ni... more

Pulled In after closing around 6:00. Took the last of 3 spots, but probably could have parked anywhere in the free area near the cemetery if all 3 spots With fire pits and picnic tables were taken. It was quiet and pretty and the perfect place to stay before heading to TRNP.

Very nice and quiet place to stay. We loved our stay here which was the 7th and 8th of August. We hiked the short trails near the visitor center, and checked out Fort Buford. A couple miles away is a train bridge with a tunnel that you can walk across and go through. The variety of birds in this area is very good. There is a very good ... more

Above reviewers stated it well, I'd just add that the interpretive center at the other end of the property is very cool, too ($5). Lots of Fort Buford and Lewis and Clark info and relics. What I mainly wanted to add is to be very careful about the small cactus plants scattered around the campground hiding in the grass. If you're not... more

We checked out the camping area while we were there to visit Ft. Buford. Nice wooded area. There were bathrooms nearby associated with the state historical park. Both Ft. Buford and the bathrooms were closed when we were there. Looks like everything shuts down on Labor Day weekend. We road our bikes between Ft. Buford and the Conf... more

We absolutely loved this place. It's on the property of Fort Buford State Historic Site, maybe 0.25 miles away. There are plenty of trees but we found a spot with enough sun to adequately get the solar we needed while still in among the trees. It's between the historical site buildings and the cemetery. There is plenty of room for mult... more
