Jumping onto this topic.
For those who know the region around Butte, how necessary is it to have camping reservations in May or June? We will not be going to the National Parks, but will be driving south from Calgary.
At this point I am not sure if we will be driving the RV (27 foot class c) or tenting. With the price of fuel rising again and the poor Canadian Dollar, I think tenting is more likely.
Is there RV parking in Butte? At 27 feet Mobi fits in two parking stalls.
Either way we are low maintenance campers. If we have the RV, hook-ups are nice but not necessary. We can dry camp for up to a week before needing to dump the tanks and refill the water. We do not need 'resort' style places, although they are nice once in awhile.
If we are tenting, showers are nice, especially when camping with a teenaged boy.
The reason for the trip is so my son can visit with a high school friend for a few days. I plan to relax, but if there are some easy hikes (safe for a woman on her own) or First Nations Cultural Centres, I would love to hear about them.
