Choteau City Park

Accessible via paved roads right off the highway, Choteau City Park provides basic overnight camping in a county-managed facility that operates from early May through late September. The park features both pull-through and back-in sites, with one particularly large spot that can accommodate big rigs with trailers. A creek runs through the property, creating two distinct camping areas on either side of the water.

Sites include picnic tables and allow campfires, with drinking water and a dump station available on-site. The $10 nightly fee can be paid through an honor-system drop box or online via QR code, with a three-night maximum stay. Cell service reaches the campground. Samantha S. notes the variety: "There's shady spots and pull through ones."

The park connects to Choteau's municipal playground, making it convenient for families. A dog park sits within walking distance. While some campers use this as a quick overnight stop when traveling between destinations, others appreciate the in-town location for accessing supplies. The facility tends to have light occupancy outside peak travel periods.

For extended stays in the region, campers can explore campgrounds around Choteau. Book ahead during summer months when travelers frequently pass through this area en route to Glacier National Park.

Many visitors found this $10/night city park ideal for overnight stops with good amenities like dump station and water. Some felt the atmosphere seemed sketchy initially, but most appreciated the value and family-friendly features.

What a great spot

I was presently surprised by this spot! It is pretty much in town, on the outskirts. There is a dump station and a spot to get drinking water. There’s shady spots and pull through ones. There’s a huge spot that would be able to accommodate the largest motorhome with a trailer, it’s huge! You can pay online, there is a $1 fee. The creek runs through and it’s so calm and pretty. The park is attached so it’s fun for the kiddos. Worth a visit!

Great for overnight stay

There are two loops on either side of a small creek, a dry side and a shaded grassy side. There is also a terrific dog park just down the road within walking distance. Great for an overnight and a great price.

Good for a quick overnight

Overall, not a bad place to stop for the night. My friend and I were driving to Glacier and needed a place. We typically tent camp, but neither of us felt comfortable setting up our tent here so we opted to sleep in the car. $10 in the box and you just park your vehicle. Not sure about bathrooms as we just went to the gas station down the road.

Gets the Job done

We were driving from Glacier to Yellowstone and didn't have a campsite. Found this city park right off the highway going through Choteau that allowed camping in the park for just $10. Seemed kind of sketchy when we pulled in in the dark at 10pm, but it served its purpose. Looked like there was only one other camper when we were there. Just needed to leave $10 in the pay box or pay online via QR code.
