The road to access the campground was difficult but doable. It was a beautiful location with many large open areas available for parking so although there were a lot of campers it did not feel crowded. The night we stayed there the site was very busy with a lot of dirt bikes and atvs. I imagine it would be a more enjoyable stay on a weeknight, but we were there on the weekend and a loud group of campers were partying until late at night making a lot of noise.

We stayed here one night on our way to Yellowstone. As noted in other reviews, just past the railroad tracks is a large gravel parking lot with vault toilets. You can certainly stay there. We opted to drive in and pulled into the first turn out on the left which is HUGE. Room for many rigs here. There was one person there in a tent other than us. Great for solar, huge fire ring available for us to use. There are reportedly many other spots further down the road but since we were basically the only people there, we decided to stay in the first spot we came to. Quite windy, but it was just a stop along the road for us. We stayed here in mid-October so it is quite likely not heavily used this time of year. Could barely hear the highway even though it is quite close.
Amazing cell signal as there is a tower super close by. We had 4 bars of LTE on both t-mobile and verizon. We never even turned on our booster.

This place is huge. If you can’t find a spot, keep going! There are spot me with shade and spots without, your choice! We stayed one night in the big lot on the left before scouting out a more private loop. If you’re just here for a short time, there is a huge parking area before the train tracks with a pit toilet.
Extremely dusty and the fire pit was trashed, but we did our best to clean it up!
Water hand pump at the FS campground by Delmoe Lake.
Free dump and the town pump in butte (just purchase gas or car wash or something)
Make sure to find ringing rocks! Not too far and only happens in a handful of places around the world! If you have a high clearance 4x4, you can make it the whole way there With having to walk. We opted to pull off and walk part of the way as the road was rough.

I camped here on a Saturday and it was on the busy side.
I took the first left turn. My spot was fairly leveled.
Lots of people with ATVs. 15min from the nearest grocery, gas, food, etc.
Please pack it in and pack it out...I did see some trash left behind by others.

Located on I-90 at exit 233. Fair amount of people camped up there, not noisy. Stayed on a Monday night. Stayed in first large area on the left (about 1 mile on an unpaved road). Site fairly level, there are some trees. Lots of mosquitoes down near the lake, none up at the campsite. Great Verizon signal.

Perfect for just passing through, easy access, stayed in big area on first left side turnoff, fire pit, reasonably level site, but very noisy on a Sunday with lots of weekend warriors, dirt bikes, ATVs, etc. But excellent Verizon signal and price (free!) made up for it. Would definitely stay here again.

I camped in the first camping area on the left (coords in site number above). The road in to that point was good, except for two areas of deep holes that have to be taken slowly. My site overlooked the road. The view was beautiful, but the road was busy from early morning until well past dark, with rattling boat and ATV trailers and clouds of dust. I recommend choosing a site away from the road. If you're only staying one night, camp at the big trailhead parking lot by the railroad tracks (the railroad is disused).
The sites in this area were fairly level, and mostly grass. It was packed on the weekend, but less so during the week. However, it was redneck central, with a fair number of dilapidated old RVs, big dogs barking, people yelling at their dogs and kids, loud music, and ATVs and dirt bikes racing around.
Verizon 4G was excellent, with 4 bars, -96 dB, 29 Mbps down and 15 up.
I got a propane refill at Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply next to Walmart. The service was excellent; I had to wait only a couple of minutes. The Town Pump at 3700 Harrison Ave had a free, 3-lane dump station behind the car wash and casino.

Got here early evening with a few sites to spare we snagged one with a view and a fire pit. Skeeters were out but the fire and skeet spray kept them away. Lots of good sites here, good Verizon Service and no toilets.

I think we took the second or third turnout, (about a mile in). There was some awesome rocks (maybe mentioned in another review).
Few RV on the other turnout, one RV near us but far away. We have an SUV so no problem.
Lots of trees, winds, and birds. I mean, if you like that kind of stuff! 😃
