Very quiet and clean FamCamp. Didn't realize it was bookable so only got to stay 7 days rather than 14. As previous reviewers have said the sewer hookup is uphill which is a gravity challenge but to insurmountable. Check in is in the Billeting building as is the free laundry which is a very nice perk. Well paved and level walking trail around the base is a plus for my senior dogs, as was the mule deer and fawn grazing every night.
Enter and exit through the North Gate, where you have to call the Gate Guard to open it for you. All very easy and pleasant. Would give it five stars except for the sewer hook up which just doesn't make any sense.

So I called and booked the same day, with knowledge that I was checking in after hours. You have to use the north gate due to the serpentine barriers at the main gate. I received a confirmation email with instructions to get a key to unlock the utilities at the site. The code I received was the wrong code, and had to get ahold of the after hours billeting NCOIC. Finally got the right code.
The sewer is a challenge with the up hill on the curb.
This is a clean, small, and quiet park.

We have been full timing for 3 years and have stayed in all kinds of privately owned parks as well as Military Famcamps and boondocking all across the country. Let me give you the pros first.
Pros:
It is clean
It is in a good location
It is relatively quiet for a Famcamp
Now the cons
Cons:
Do not try to check in before 2pm. Check out is 10 am but they will not check you in before 2pm. I have no idea what they are doing for 4 hours. We arrived around 12:45 and had to pull into an empty parking lot and wait until 2, even though the campground was empty. (We unhooked and drove over to see) Not a big deal, just kind of silly.
This one is kind of a big deal. Hookups can be on the passengers side! Depending on which site you get the hook-ups could be on the wrong side.
Very Big Deal. The sewer hookup is so high above ground that the hose will not drain. As I said before we have stayed in all kinds of parks and certainly we have had the sewer connection be uphill. But never like this! The connection may work for a 5th wheel or possibly pull-behind but for a motorhome it is going to be about level with you pull handles! So basically the grey and black tanks are trying to empty uphill from the connection on the coach. When they built the park, or what they have now, they poured about an 10 inch curb around the connections and filled that with dirt and sand. Looks pretty but doesn't work for sewer. Also you might have issues opening your bay doors. We did not, but I feel it is something to consider.
Conclusion:
When this place was 21.00 a night it was probably someplace to consider for an extended stay even with the issues. If you are only needing a place to stop for a night or two @ 30.00/night it may still be something you want to consider. But if you plan to stay a week or more I can't recommend it. It is a pity because it really is in a good location to town and all that this part of Montana has to offer. If they came back in and filled in the parking areas between the curbs to raise the RVs to a more useable height then I would highly recommend this place. But until then, no.
