Coal Banks Landing

Coal Banks Landing offers a quintessential Montana wilderness experience, nestled directly along the banks of the scenic Upper Missouri River. This BLM-managed campground provides a tranquil escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you are launching a boat, casting a line for local fish, or exploring the surrounding hiking trails, the site serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a primitive, back-to-basics adventure.

The campground features 20 first-come, first-served sites that accommodate both tent campers and RV travelers. While the setting is rustic, the site provides essential amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Five of these sites are specifically designed to handle RVs up to 40 feet in length, providing ample space for larger rigs. Please note that there are no utility hookups available, so visitors should come prepared for dry camping.

This location is best suited for self-sufficient campers who value natural surroundings over modern conveniences. Because the site is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, it is a perfect choice for spontaneous travelers and those looking for an affordable, authentic riverside retreat.
