Chinamen's Campground

This campground sits at the very northern end of Canyon Ferry Reservoir, 30 miles east of Helena, Montana, along Montana Highway 284, and offers year-round access to a wide range of recreational opportunities. The Canyon Ferry area has a rich mining history: in the 1850s the gold rush hit, attracting miners from all over the United States hoping to strike it rich. The campground has 38 campsites on gravel roads, each with a picnic table and a fire ring. Review campsite details before booking, as many of the sites are too small for RVs longer than 20 feet. During the summer months, services include vault toilets, potable water, trash collection, and a campground host. Canyon Ferry Reservoir offers year-round recreation. Water activities run from swimming and fishing to sailing and motor-boating. Canoeists and kayakers explore the many quiet backwater bays. Jet skiers, windsurfers and water skiers skim the summer waves, while winter draws ice fishermen, ice boaters and ice skaters. The campground sits between the Big Belt and Elkhorn mountain ranges, halfway between Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park, near the capital city of Helena.
