About

Chippy Park Campground offers a perfect blend of roadside accessibility and tranquil rustic charm in the heart of Custer Gallatin National Forest. This intimate 7-site retreat hugs the banks of the Boulder River, where the gentle rush of water provides nature's soundtrack. Two sites are walk-in, requiring visitors to park at a distance, which adds to the secluded feel of the campground. The Boulder River caters to fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers, with countless opportunities for scenic views and wildlife observation. Visitors can explore the picturesque forest landscape on foot, enjoying an immersive experience of the natural sights, sounds, and scents of Montana's wilderness. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. Located 25 miles south of Big Timber on US 298, then 9.5 miles south on Main Boulder Road (County Road 212), the campground is accessible but the access road is not suitable for vehicles longer than 32 feet. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and vault toilets are available year-round. Drinking water from a hand pump is available from Memorial Day through Labor Day only, so campers should bring their own water during other seasons.
