Stayed 4 days Aug 2023. Plenty of sites w/ tables. They ask for donation but they should charge at least 10 bucks per night. Clean, level sites just off hwy 87. Clean restrooms for travelers. Next to airport with a few Mt Air Guard aircraft taking off and landing. No electric or sewer but still very nice. I'd give a 5 star if they only had a dump

Roadside lot by the local airstrip with grass, concrete picnic tables, some tables covered, and clean restrooms. Room for a dozen or more tents or campers. No hookups. Maintained by the local Kiwanis Club with a place for donations. Perfect stop for an overnight. Longer stays allowed up to 10 days I think it said.

Not sure I would give this place 4 stars as some did. Decent place for stop over. Only great thing is the water as Lewistown has spring water at the taps. Convenient to good supermarket across the street. Plenty of room at sites and easy to get around in our 35’ class a with a toad. A lot of folks not heeding to the self contained restriction as there were quite a few tents there. There are prairie dogs lol

There is a 10 day limit and the grounds are well maintained and have a donation box to help with the upkeep. There is a Bike/Walking trail as well as concrete picnic tables for each site. There are tiny visitors who have their homes here as well so watch for the Prairie Dog Holes. One of the little guys was intent on watching Dawn prepare breakfast through our screen door.
A brand new Grocery Supermarket is located across the street in easy walking distance.
This year due to COVID the rest area and toilets are closed, and only self contained campers are allowed!

Reviewed August 10, 2019

Decent spot. Free, maintained. Bathrooms seemed clean though men's room stank. The sign says it's a "rest stop" so that is misleading. It is clearly camping for tents and RVs. Easy level sites.
Nearby road was plenty quiet overnight. Airport was quiet.

Pretty nice place to stay for free.
The stay limit is 10 days (there are at least 2 signs stating such). They do have a group of volunteers that walk the park writing down license plates, which I'm assuming are the stay limit check team.
The park is well maintained. No one is staying longer than 10 days, that I could tell. They could leave for a night then come back, there isn't anything in the rules against that.

The park is right next to the airport, so there is some airplane and helicopter noise during the day. Nothing that I could tell for the night.

Please donate some funds in the donation box. This is solely run on donations, so giving something will help them keep it maintained for future use.

The AT&T Signal was usable, but it was slow for data. I think the tower I connected to was either older or just slower. If I went into Lewistown and connected to another tower, the data signal was 80MBs download. We loved driving around Lewistown. The old town look and feel and not junky is awesome to see.

A "rest stop Plus" as the previous review said is just about right. But thanks to the Kiwanis for offering it. Easy access for Everyone just off Hwy. 87 which means you'll get all kinds of people and 'campers' (looks like one trailer has been there awhile) but seemed safe enough with sheriff's driving down the highway periodically. Fuel and grocery in town, good cell service and some antenna tv. Tables and restroom and make your own campsite but no other services.

Very nice area to park overnite. We needed a place to park on our way to Glacier NP. It's on HWY 87/200, clear on the west edge of town, across from a farm implement dealer. You are supposed to pull in the grassy areas to camp, but since it had rained recently, the ground was fairly wet, and we were afraid we would get stuck in the grass. So, we didn't follow protocol, we pulled in one of the gravel drives and parked there. There were other campers there, probably about 15 various pull behinds, Class A, B and C motorhomes. If it had been busier, we would not have stayed in the gravel drive. No electric, I did see a hydrant, but we didn't use it. Nice restrooms available. Garbage bins available. Park is kept up nicely. I didn't see evidence of homeless people while were there. I didn't leave a donation in the box available, as it is unlocked. I found the address for the Kiwanis and mailed it later.

Very nice, clean park. Potable water is available up near the bathrooms. Everything is very well maintained and tidy. Site are nicely spaced apart from each other, but there are no trees to speak of so you can see everyone. Nice covered picnic table in most sites and very close proximity to town and several restaurants. All sites are "pull through" in that you just drive on the grass. Thank you, Kiwanis of Lewistown!

Very nice quiet area that we stumbled across looking for a place to perch for the night. Half a dozen other older couples wandered in as the evening turned to night. All was quiet. So nice that we went to town and spent significant money rather than look for a WalMart. The Kiwanians do a great service for the town by keeping this open.
