magnificent variety of outdoors recreation will make you happy you came.
As long as you have a thing about the outdoors you will have a thing about Montana.
Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Rosebud Creek - East; a tour to Cooney
Reservoir State Park when you're here is never a bad idea. Quite a lot of entertaining stuff to do in the neighborhood of Nelson Campground; if you're trying to find a great place to go for a weekend of camping, this is a tremendous pick.
Summer brings highs in the 70's to
Nelson Campground, and during summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. Daytime highs during the wintertime are in the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Nelson Campground. So many exciting things to do in the Absaroka Range, not sufficient time. A good spot for
whitewater paddling next to Nelson Campground is Clarks Fork Yellowstone River, and you beyond doubt ought to take a look at Buffalo Bill State Park since you're here.
