GenieSummary
Russell Gates Campground is a cozy and unique campground located on the Blackfoot River, east of the small and charming town of Ovando, Montana. It offers stunning views of the river and its surrounding greenery, as well as easy access to fishing and boating. The campground is equipped with pit toilets, water and garbage facilities, and plenty of shade trees. Unfortunately, it is also close to MT Hwy 200, so it can be quite noisy and full, especially on weekends. However, the ranger has mentioned that a new parking lot and boat launch is being built at one end of the park, which should help reduce the noise and traffic.
