There are four loops here. Most of the sites are large and the A-loop is treed and very private. The other loops are pretty wide open and though the sites are not on top of each other, there is not as much privacy. The wildlife is amazing. We couldn't go outside without seeing something.

There are four loops here. Most of the sites are large and the A-loop is treed and very private. The other loops are pretty wide open and though the sites are not on top of each other, there is not as much privacy. The wildlife is amazing. We couldn't go outside without seeing something. Mostly deer and turkey. The boat ramp is in great shape, the dump station was fine and the water for flushing was on. Not alot of hiking, but the scenic drive that starts just north of the campground across the bridge is very nice with lots of informational stops and beautiful views. If you are here in the fall, you must go to Slippery Ann Elk Viewing Area. We listened to them bugling for about an hour and a half before they made their way into the meadow where we saw hundreds of elk. Not to be missed. You do get a little noise from the road, but all in all a wonderful stop.
No cell phone coverage at all and in A-loop, there were too many trees in A-6 for Starlink to function well. But it would have worked great in B or C loops.

We camped at the James Kipp Campground, Loop A site 10, for one night in late June. Our nightly rate was $6.00 with our Lifetime Senior Pass, this is a first come - first serve campground. Loop A has plenty of shade trees, while loops B and C have fewer shade trees. Each camp site has a fire ring and table, there are vault toilets and trash receptacles throughout the campground. There is a dump station at the campground entrance, however as of June 2022 there is currently no water available. We had no Verizon service during our stay. Our campsite had a trail going down to the Missouri River and we had plenty of shade trees surrounding our site. The campground is clean and very quiet, during our mid-week stay the campground was less than half full.

Nice spot along river and highway, western boundry of Chas. Russell 1.1 million acre Wildlife Refuge. Launch on the river to recover boats coming from Ft. Benton. No electric, generators OK, water and dump nearby and a host if help is needed. Sites qre gravel and very private.
The Refuge is boondocker's heaven, busy during deer, elk and upland bird season. Must caution about wet weather here. A heavy dew can turn dirt roads to gumbo that will keep you stuck for days. South of the river the roads are mainly dirt. North of the river mostly gravel.
The scenery and wildlife observation is outstanding. Starting mid to late Sept. the elk rut begins and you can watch the harem building as you sit in you vehicle at roadside. This is wild and remote country.
