Cameron RV-Park & Store: Cameron Montana

July 30 thru July 2, 2007.

We are staying in Cameron RV-Park & Store in Cameron, Montana. Cameron is a STORE located 10-miles south of Ennis in the Madison Valley. The Cameron RV-Park is about 12 sites located behind the Store & Saloon (the social gathering place for miles around). The PPA campground is nothing fancy but for the PPA price of $12.50 for FHU it is just fine. The view over the Madison Valley and mountains surrounding Virginia City is worth the $12.50.

For those of you that are not familiar with PPA (Pass Port America) it is an organization you can join for less than $50 per-year. Campgrounds that belong to PPA offer 1/2 price discounts. That kind of savings can quickly add up. While participating PPA parks generally have some restrictions on dates the PPA offer is valid, or possibly days of the week the discount is valid, or perhaps the number of days that the PPA discount will be honored the discount is genuine. Many times PPA campgrounds are new campgrounds that need help in getting established. Other times PPA campgrounds may be on the outskirts of town instead of in the "prime" location thus they need to provide an incentive for campers to stay with them. Whatever the reason PPA campgrounds generally provide a much cheaper option. PPA is the only campground organization that I think is worth the cost. PPA does not have a gimic. What you see is what you get. Once you join they send you a directory listing all participating campgrounds. The PPA directory is the FIRST directory we check when trying to locate a place to spend the night. You can join PPA by calling 228-452-9972. If you decide to join PPA, it would be nice if you gave them my number "R-0156251" as the PPA member that told you about PPA. In return PPA will give me a years membership free. I will thank you in advance for that kindness. Thank you.

Joyce took these pictures from the Cameron RV-Park & Store in Cameron, Montana where we are staying,

Cameron appears to be carved out of a large cattle ranch as cattle surround us.

We always enjoyed watching the sun go down although we were not there for any spectacular sunsets. No matter it is always enjoyable to watch the sun drop behind the mountains. This picture was taken from our campsite at Cameron RV-Park & Store in Cameron, Montana.

These are just rustic pictures Joyce was taking from our campsite in Camron RV Park.

We will always cherish the days we spent in Cameron enjoying the Madison Valley and the slower way of life.

Thousands of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, and other smaller animals live, eat, and migrate through the Madison valley. While public lands in the Beaverhead and Deerlodge National Forest provide protected habitat in the mountains surrounding the Madison Valley, ranch lands of the valley provide essential food, security, and freedom of movement for many animals, particularly in winter.

None of the sunsets were spectacular but relaxing and enjoyable none the less.

This is a nice herd of pronghorn antelope.

In this picture you can see an irrigated hay field as well as this unirrigated pasture land with an antelope that is watching us even as we are watching him.
