Quartz Flat Campground

There is an I-90 Eastbound and I-90 Westbound campground accessible via underpass or through their applicable rest stop. This is not sleeping in a rest stop parking lot, it is a state campground accessed through a rest stop parking lot. Because it’s several hundred yards from I-90, it is not as quiet as camping remotely but there was far less traffic noise than one might expect. The sites vary in size and orientation and are clean, well spaced and relatively level. Our 38’ Class A fit with room to spare and there are numerous sites to choose from. It looks like half allow for reservation and the rest first come, first served. You can pay via the website or cash at the fee collection station. The pines are beautiful, plentiful and aromatic and the local ground squirrel residents are not bashful with their visits. StarLink connects but buffers heavily due to obstruction from tree density, two bars on cell coverage but data transfer rates are negligible. These are dry campsites but there are water spigots and restrooms with potable water conveniently located throughout the parks. Large trash receptacles are located at the exit as are RV Dumping Stations. The dump stations have potable water connections to refill your fresh water tanks, non-potable water for black tank flushing and non-threaded kick lid dump receptacles. They were all clean and functioning. Although near the river, the W/B park is elevated so you can’t just walk out of your site and play in the water. The E/B park has train tracks several hundred yards away so you periodically get greeted with the sound of a train cruising the rails. We stayed in Site #24 E/B campground and was impressed with the friendliness and attentiveness of the camp host. Fire pits were spotless, restrooms clean and no trash anywhere. I’d stay here again and look forward to it.

We love this campground for our RV C25. They offer free camp woods, and sewage disposal, drinking water, non-potable water for RV. Even though it's beside the highway and railroad, the campsite is around trees, and it costs $15 per night.

It's 8-17, and this place is almost empty on a Saturday. Got a great site for $7.50 for seniors. Paved roads, pine trees, and extremely easy access. If you got to the east loops, there's a 14-foot tunnel to go through, which is cool. John, the camp host, is handing out free firewood, so we'll enjoy that tonight. It's 90 now, but it should cool down.

Great camp site, but right off of the highway with train tracks next to the G Loop. We were on the C Loop so we had quite a distance between us and the train but out neighbor in the RV decided to run his generator all night in a primitive campground so thanks for that.

Nice, well-maintained campground. Plenty of room for my 32 foot class c motorhome. Free small bundle of firewood, rv dump, and fresh water - with camping fee. Kind, attentive camp hosts. Lots of trees, short hiking trail nearby that takes you by the river. Has a restroom with running water, clean space, mirror, and well-lit. It’s close to the freeway but we use a noisemaker anyway so the sound doesn’t bother us. Campsites all have a picnic table and fire pit.

Just what we needed - spacious, beautiful, aromatic, friendly. We came in late, lots of spots, very easy to back a tent trailer in (no lights in the park, so easy for very dark.) very near to raod, and right off of a truck parking area - very convenient, but has road noise (about 4/10), and train whistles (didn't mind, our son loves it) Fire wood provided! Great fire pits with a flip-off cooking grill, nice tables, lots of pinecones to enhance a cooking fire. What really blessed me was how user friendly it is - good signage, very organized and clean, very nice housed pit toilets (well-ventilated and didn't smell, auto light, air freshener, clean floor - my wife said best pit toilet ever), a bathroom with running water - sink and toilet, next to host. There's lots of water spigots, and a high-flow potable and non-potable water hose/tower by the host. Water is tasty! It felt inviting, and made me love Montana even more. Cute critters in camp, lots of room for running kids, sunlight through trees in the morning. Remember this is high elevation and even in August you'll probably have your first cold night of the road trip. Everything has been 90+ degrees, but we probably hit low 50's last night. I also happen to love cow catchers at the entrance of everything in Montana. Ambiance. It's spiritually uplifting here, 'where seldom is heard a discouraging word' and the skies have big beautiful puffy clouds a lot of the time. Not oppressive at all. Montana has shown us many times much needed hospitality; a friend to the road-weary. To give this any less than 5 stars, in my opinion, is to insist on room-service and bell-hops at your campground. Also, I made a pancake flipper out of one of the pine firelogs. Tada!
