How to Secure a First-Come, First-Served Campsite

• Arrive to the campground and locate an unoccupied site. This will be a site with not receipt tab attached to the campground post and no belongings at the site.

• Fill out a fee envelope (found at the campground information board) to pay for the site. Credit cards are accepted at all First-Come, First-Served campgrounds. Starting in 2025, Scan & Pay will be required through the Recreation.gov app for Cutbank Campground.

• Once filled out and sealed, remove the tear off receipt from the envelope and place it on the campground post, this will indicate the site is now occupied.

• Then place the fee envelope in the fee tube (near the campground entrances) within a 1/2 hour of picking your site.

• Remove all belongings when vacating the site. Sites may not be left unattended for more than 24 hours.

• Check out time is 12:00 noon. If staying another night, you must re-register by 11 am.

• Some campgrounds may have Camp Hosts that aid in the campsite selection process.
