Benton RV Park & Campground

The little community of Fort Benton is on the upper Missouri River and is the spot where Lewis and Clark emptied their canoes and portaged around the river’s “great falls” before crossing the Rocky Mountains.

Today, you can immerse yourself in that fascinating history when you camp in an RV near Fort Benton. Fort Benton sits about 45 minutes' drive from Great Falls, one of Montana’s largest cities. Benton RV Park and Campground sits on the north end of Fort Benton, about a quarter-mile back from the river. The RV campground offers full hookups for your RV rental along with laundry facilities, showers, bathrooms, and a horseshoe pit for evening games with family and friends.

Most visitors to Benton RV Park and Campground use it as a basecamp for exploring central Montana along with all of its natural and historical sights. Fort Benton has most of the necessities, though, like food, fuel, and RV supplies, so it’s unnecessary to drive into Great Falls unless you’re searching for entertainment.
