FWP Proposes Expanding Makoshika State Park Campground

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is proposing to expand existing camping and recreational opportunities at Makoshika State Park by adding up to 16 RV sites with electric hook-ups, 4 primitive hike/bike campsites and day-use facilities in the Gunner’s Ridge area.

The project is proposed to also include a campsite for park hosts, latrines, and a playground. The proposed project was initiated in response to numerous visitor and local public comments received and FWP’s recognition of increased overnight visitation at the park. Public comments also identified the desire for access to electricity and water while camping.

A draft standard Environmental Assessment has been prepared and is available for comment. It can be viewed on the FWP website at https://fwp.mt.gov/public-notices/news/2025/feb/makoshika-state-park-campground-expansion-draft-ea or is available upon request from the FWP Region 7 office, (406) 234-0900.

Public comment is welcome and will be accepted until 5 p.m. MST on March 26, 2025. Written comments can be mailed or e-mailed to the address below:
