About This Location

Discover Chinamen's Campground on Montana's Canyon Ferry Reservoir. This year-round USACE site offers rustic, scenic camping perfect for those seeking adventure.

Nestled at the northern tip of the expansive Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Chinamen's Campground offers a rugged and authentic Montana experience. Set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 3,921 feet, this USACE-managed site is steeped in the region's storied 1850s gold mining history. The landscape provides a peaceful escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the high plains and mountain foothills.

This is a primitive, no-hookup campground designed for self-sufficient travelers. Facilities are kept simple, featuring vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. With direct access to the reservoir, it serves as a prime destination for fishing enthusiasts. Please note that the terrain and site sizes are best suited for smaller rigs, as RVs exceeding 20 feet may find it difficult to navigate or fit into many of the available campsites.

Chinamen's Campground is ideal for tent campers and owners of smaller RVs who prefer a quiet, off-the-grid environment. Whether you are visiting for a weekend fishing trip or exploring the historic sites near Helena, this year-round location offers a versatile basecamp for your next outdoor adventure in the heart of Montana.
