Montana Creek Campground is a campground focused on offering a wide selection of campsite types and family-oriented events near Montana Creek. The property lists dozens of numbered campsites—ranging from secluded dry sites to utility-equipped lots—so visitors can select creekside retreats, premium forested spots, or sites with electrical hookups.
Several sites are described as creek-adjacent, including Camp Site 70 and Camp Site 68, each about 100 feet from a serene creek and suited to campers seeking fishing and quiet waterside experiences. Electrical hookups are available at select locations such as Camp Site 34 and Camp Site 29, while premium dry sites like Camp Site 55 provide a secluded forest setting. Many campsites include standard amenities listed for each site such as a fire ring and picnic table; some sites offer pull-through parking, extra privacy, and proximity to on-site conveniences like a store and restrooms.
The campground also hosts the Kid's Humpy Derby, a youth fishing competition for participants under 16 with prize drawings and door prizes. That event explicitly supports the local food pantry, reflecting a community-minded approach. Site dimensions are provided for select sites—Camp Site 62 measures 45 ft x 30 ft and Camp Site 29 measures 40 ft x 13 ft—allowing campers to match accommodation needs to available space.
