ACTIVITIES GALORE
Activities are abundant here in Southwest Montana.
Our Campground enjoys 800 ft. of the famous Beaverhead River, (blue ribbon trout stream) bordering the park- German Brown trout are in full supply.
The town of Dillon has a children's fishing pond, splash pad and a frontier playground which are all close to our facilities.
The Beaverhead County Museum is only a five-minute drive from our park and well worth the short drive. The local YMCA, which is 2 minutes by car, offers our guests day use for a nominal fee. You can simply look around and find mountains in every direction calling you to explore.
If you are a hiker or a biker, there are many trails and mountains routes to explore, Dillon actually sits right on the Transamerica Bicycle Trail. If you're a rock hound, we have Crystal State Park where you can dig your own crystals and we have garnets and wonder stones (chert) as well.
Annually, on Labor Day weekend, Dillon hosts a bevy of events: The Beaverhead County Fair puts on their Professional Rodeo, Arts & Crafts Fair and a live concert. Shoppers will enjoy the Patagonia outlet here in Dillon, and every Saturday finds a great Farmers Market from June through September.

RIVER RAFTING & FLOATING
Many people bring along canoes, inflatables of every size and shape, motorized watercraft for the local lakes and drift boats to fish the rivers. Weekends find many people exploring the waterways or simply having a good time floating the rivers and enjoying nature at its best as well as the wildlife that inhabits this area. There are many put ins and take outs making opportunities to float easy and accessible.
