Campgrounds near Circle, Montana
Circle is a small ranching town in McCone County on the northeastern Montana plains, at the junction of Highways 200 and 13. It sits roughly midway between Glasgow, Miles City, and Glendive, which makes it a practical overnight stop for RV travelers crossing the state or heading toward the Fort Peck area and the Makoshika badlands.
Options in town are limited but functional. Homestead RV, Green Valley Campground, and Riverview RV Park serve travelers passing through, while Blue Sky RV Park and Mini Storage offers additional hookup sites. These are working RV parks rather than destination resorts: expect gravel pads, full or partial hookups, and easy highway access rather than pools or planned activities.
For a scenic side trip, Valley View at Makoshika State Park sits about an hour southeast in Glendive. Makoshika is Montana's largest state park, covering more than 11,500 acres of badlands terrain, dinosaur fossils, and a small primitive campground administered by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
Things to do near Circle
In Circle itself, travelers can visit the McCone County Museum, browse local shops on Main Street, and use the town as a base for prairie drives, birding, and antelope viewing on surrounding grasslands. Fishing and boating are possible at Fort Peck Lake to the north, reached by Highway 24.
The biggest regional draw is Makoshika State Park near Glendive. The park has scenic drives, hiking trails, an outdoor amphitheater, an archery range, and two PDGA-certified disc golf courses. The visitor center houses Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex fossils and interprets the badlands geology and the K-T boundary. RVs and campers over 20 feet are restricted to the first two miles of park road and are not allowed past the switchbacks, so larger rigs should plan day trips from a base campground rather than driving deep into the park.

Peak camping season in northeastern Montana runs from late May through early September, when daytime temperatures are warm and roads and trails are dry. July and August are the busiest months and also the hottest, with afternoon highs regularly in the upper 20s to low 30s Celsius. Book ahead on holiday weekends, especially around the Buzzard Day festival at Makoshika, held the second Saturday in June.
Spring and fall are quieter and cooler. May is typically the wettest month on the eastern plains, and unpaved park roads can become slick after rain. September and October bring cool nights, low humidity, and reliable daytime weather that suits hiking and disc golf.
Winter camping is limited. Most private RV parks operate year-round for long-stay guests, but amenities scale back, and Makoshika's interior gravel roads may be closed by snow, ice, or wet conditions. Wildfire closures and fire restrictions are possible in mid to late summer during dry years, so check park alerts before arrival.
How to book near Circle
Private RV parks around Circle, including Homestead RV, Green Valley Campground, Riverview RV Park, and Blue Sky RV Park and Mini Storage, generally take reservations by phone or through their own websites. Because inventory is small, calling ahead is the most reliable way to confirm a pull-through site, big-rig access, or full hookups.
Valley View at Makoshika State Park is reserved through the Montana State Parks system at stateparks.mt.gov, or by phone with Montana State Parks. Sites can be booked up to nine months in advance and must be reserved at least two days before arrival; walk-up sites are also possible when available. Nonresidents pay a day-use fee unless they hold a Montana state parks pass. Camping is limited to seven days within any thirty-day period. There is no dump station inside Makoshika, so plan a dump stop in Glendive before or after a stay.
What to expect near Circle
Expect open prairie, big skies, and long distances between towns. Cell coverage is generally decent along Highway 200 but can drop on side roads and inside Makoshika. Fuel, groceries, and basic RV supplies are available in Circle and Glendive, while more specialized parts may require a longer drive to Miles City or Sidney.
Campground amenities vary. In-town parks near Circle typically offer electric, water, and sewer hookups, laundry, and showers, with gravel sites suited to overnight or short stays. Makoshika is more primitive: vault toilets and drinking water are provided in the lower part of the park, but there are no sewer hookups and no on-site dump station, and only some sites offer electric.
Wind, sudden thunderstorms, and temperature swings are common on the plains. Bring leveling blocks for uneven pads, awning tie-downs, and layered clothing even in summer.
