Lewis & Clark County Fairgrounds Campground

This is site 22B, the maintenance crew came by and said to us that this site looked fine and didn't need any mowing or upkeep! 🥴 Really? All the other sites looked very similar . This campground is in very poor shape to represent the county fairgrounds and the state capital city. The water fill up for the rv's is in a big parking lot, no where near campground, amongst several vehicles. You have to drag your hose around the vehicles to fill up.

I stay at a lot of fairgrounds campgrounds and this one is an actual campground with vault toilets rather than a parking lot like most. It is set back from the rest of the grounds. Great views of the surrounding mountains. It is electric only but they have water available to fill up before parking. No dump station here either. There is a playground about 1/4 mile from the campground. There are gas stations nearby that have RV dump stations.

We loved staying here, we had deer in camp every night. It was quiet and peaceful. The only thing was the grass could have been cut. We had lucky #7 it was great.

This place is a simple campground, with simple reservations. Bring your own water, but the sites have electricity and there are a variety of lengths for different RV sizes. I like it because it's close to where I work - and camping once a week is cheaper than a motel. No trees, no clubhouse, no creek, etc, but there is a state park and shopping nearby.

It's a shame I have to leave a negative review because it's an okay little campground; the main problem isn't the fault of the campground or the fairgrounds... it's the railroad. If you want to sleep at night, don't stay here. I'm leaving after three nights (I paid for seven) because of the damn train horns. It's almost constant. Helena needs an ordinance like many towns that puts a stop to train horns during the night. Even with the AC blasting and wearing ear plugs, the train horns are still loud enough to wake me every time. The other thing that would make the place better is a dump station. Having to go clear across town to dump your tanks is frustrating.
