Canoe Launch Campground

Tucked along the Missouri River, the Canoe Launch Campground in Fort Benton offers a unique blend of convenience and natural immersion with easy access to some of Montana’s most scenic waterways. This intimate campground features eight back-in RV sites, several with water and electrical hookups, as well as dedicated spaces for tent camping, making it an attractive option for travelers seeking a peaceful riverside retreat. The campsite’s proximity to the river is its standout feature, with a canoe and boat launch providing direct access for paddling or fishing adventures amidst the historic Missouri River bluffs.

Located within walking distance of downtown Fort Benton, known as the birthplace of Montana, the campground provides a gateway to local history and culture. Visitors are just steps away from attractions like the reconstructed Historic Fort Benton, the Museum of the Upper Missouri, and charming shops and eateries in the town center. Furthermore, outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunities for exploring the Upper Missouri National Wild and Scenic River, nearby national historic sites like Decision Point, and other recreational gems within a 30-minute drive. These elements make the Canoe Launch Campground an excellent choice for both short stopovers and weekend getaways.
