Learn more about alerts →Fall paddlers, birders, and history-minded campers will get the most out of this place. September and October bring steady river flows for the onsite boat ramp, minimal mosquitoes, and cottonwood color. Grab sites 16 or 17 for the best spacing; reserve early through Montana State
Campsites are small, open, and packed close together, so noise from generators and neighbors travels freely. Several reviewers flagged friction with other campers or the host over rules enforcement, so if a low-conflict weekend matters to you, this layout doesn't help. Summer bug

Fall delivers the best conditions. September and October bring daytime temperatures in the 50s to low 70s with crisp nights dropping near freezing. River flows steady out after summer irrigation and peak runoff, making fishing and small-boat trips more predictable. Cottonwoods and willows turn warm autumn colors, and visitor numbers drop from summer peaks. Mosquitoes ease up considerably. Summer is warm but brings heavy mosquito pressure in the lush wetlands. Spring offers wildflowers and migrating waterfowl but evenings stay chilly.
Fall described as best conditions: crisp days, cool nights and reduced bugs—prime visiting season.
