Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Medicine Rocks State Park adventure.
Gorgeous sandstone formations and a rich Native American history await at Medicine Rocks.
Medicine Rocks State Park is a stunning site in eastern Montana, where mesmerizing sandstone formations stand tall over grassy prairie. Here, more than 100 of these wind-and-rain-carved rocks feature caves, arches, spires, holes, and other unique features—some as tall as 80 feet. The park’s location has a long history of habitation from various Plains Indians groups who considered the area sacred, meaning ancient petroglyphs, art, and inscriptions can be seen carved into the sandstone. Campers can also hike, bike, and meander through the park to observe these cultural and geological wonders plus grazing mule deer and antelope. To stay overnight, Medicine Rocks State Park has one 12-site campground offering picnic tables, fire rings, potable water, and restrooms. With many campsites right next to rock formations, it’s an incredible place to stay.
The park is open year-round. With winter snow and low temps below freezing from November to April, most camping here occurs between May and October. July and August are the warmest months.
