Free Camping in Montana City Parks - VanLife On the Road

  • Found some nice parks that allow camping.
    My name is Brian. I live on the road full time in my self built camper van. Join me on my adventures.
    In this video I depart from my camp at WoodBottom Campground in Loma, Montana. On the way out of the campground I stop at Decision Point to take in some views. Then I head towards Harlem, Montana where I find an interesting little park that offers free camping. After a nice overnight, and doing laundry the next day, I continue east on Highway 2 towards Hinsdale, Montana where I find a great free campground in another city park. Milk River Park was a great place to camp for free. See you in the next video!
    Thanks for watching!

    @johnquest3102 6 років тому +1

    Quite interesting to follow you, Brian, you have a smooth style and travel and camp so gracefully, and come up with all these sweet spots! I know that effect of a light catching your eye after dark and you realize you are looking over someone's shoulder at their TV, I never have any interest in what they are watching, but it is funny that they do not realize or care that someone else is watching for a moment.

    US-2 is a beautiful highway! I traveled from Minot to Troy, MT camping after short days so that I could explore every afternoon. I love those quiet farm towns, and the millions of acres of golden wheat. Good folks live up there.

    Rode my bicycle through there on the Northern Tier. Pretty much every town had a little park you could camp at for free. The only thing you had to worry about were automatic sprinklers. It's incredibly beautiful up there and everyone I met was super friendly.

    Harlem is probably on the Adventure Cycling bicycle route called the Northern Tier. They would have the bicycle camping next door to the pool so that cyclist's could take hot showers.

    FYI...To save on washing a cutting board you can cut your banana "in peel." Just peel off one section of your banana and slice as normal. The remaining peel keeps the banana in place. It is a little awkward at first but it may work for you.

      You can get away with it if you are lucky but it's illegal. Pay camping only or backcountry packing with permit. There is boondocking outside Grand Teton NP.
