Bannack Campground
Dillon, Montana
About
Come walk the deserted streets of Bannack and discover for yourself the realities of the 'Old West.' Bannack is the best preserved of all Montana ghost towns. Bannack State Park is a National Historic Landmark and the site of Montana's first major gold discovery on July 28, 1862. This strike set off a massive gold rush that swelled Bannack's population to over 3,000 by 1863. As the value of gold steadily dwindled, Bannack's bustling population was slowly lost. Over 50 buildings line Main Street; their historic log and frame structures recall Montana's formative years. The campground has 28 sites, including a Wall Tent, a hike-in/bike-in campsite, with 4 tent pads, and a group picnic site. In the winter months, dress warmly and skate on the frozen dredge pond from sometime in January to the first week in March (weather permitting).
