News from Montana State Parks
MONTANA – Montana State Parks announced that the 2020 summer reservation season will be open on Nov. 15. The summer reservation season runs from the third Friday in May through the third Sunday in September and campsites may be booked up to six months in advance of arrival.
In recent years, reservations were available up to nine months in advance, however, in 2019, State Parks reduced the booking window to six months. This change allows Montana State Parks more time to make decisions for changes that benefit visitors for the next season.
Additionally, reservations at Beavertail Hill, Black Sandy, Lewis & Clark Caverns, Placid Lake, Salmon Lake, Tongue River Reservoir and Whitefish Lake State Parks are now available as little as one day before arrival.
These decisions were made to give campers at Montana State Parks more flexibility when making campsite reservations. To reserve your campsite, cabin, tipi or yurt, visit stateparks.mt.gov or call 855-922-6768.
Visit Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) and enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, boating and more and discover some of the greatest natural and cultural treasures on earth.
State Park Fees:
Montana residents who pay the $6 state parks fee with their annual vehicle registration have no daily entrance fees to state parks.
Non-Resident Entrance Pass: out-of-state residents can purchase a $35 Non-Resident Entrance Pass which allows free entrance on an unlimited number of visits and discounted camping fees for a year.
