Opinion; Roads are newly paved, but sites can use some upgrades. Many permanent sites not well kept.  We stayed here because of a blown tire and It was the closest park  to our location along I 90. We needed some place till we could get a new tire, it happen to be 4th of July Eve. The park served our needed.

Comments; many fisherman stay here. The Clark Fork River is just across the road. Also  folks stay here to kayak and float the river.
    One night would we were sound asleep something shook our RV. At first we thought it was the wind. But no the RV was vibrating. It seemed like it lasted 3 or 4 minutes, but I guess it was only a minute or two. Holy mackerel it's a EARTHQUAKE.  What the heck, what next. Hannah barked a couple of times. Then we hear talking outside. I look out and see a small group of people outside wondering around with flashlight.  It wasn't a pretty sight seeing all those folks in sleep ware. But I joined them, I hope Improved the look. Everyone is discussing what just happened. After we all agreed it must have been a EARTHQUAKE back to bed. The next morning we saw on TV indeed we were right, it was a EARTHQUAKE about 70 miles from our location. 

The entrance to the park, this is the small store

Indian Creek Campground Deer Lodge MT

Indian Creek Campground 725 Maverick Lane Deer Lodge MT 59722
Date of stay 8/7/13
This park is just of I 90 so there is highway noise. Easy on and off.  There is also some train noise. The noise didn't bother us, as it was hot and we were inside with the A/C on. We were also away from the highway.
We had a FHU pull thru with 50 amp electric. The park is very big rig friendly.
We paid $27.97 + $3.00 for 50amp with are 15% Escapees discount. Cable TV is also $3.00. This is also a Coast to coast GNP, but somehow we missed getting this discount.
No privacy between sites. Small grass area between sites. Open for satellite.
Amenities include a laundry and restrooms, but we didn't check out any of these.
It is dog friendly.
We would stay here again in traveling through the area.
