WHITEHALL – Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park will open its group camp area and pavilion to convenient online and call-center reservations beginning Monday, Feb. 7, at 8 a.m.

The group camping area allows up to five camp units to occupy a location set apart from the other campground users for a more intimate, yet shared camp experience. The nearby pavilion with its barbecue, small utility sink, fireplace and multiple picnic tables can be booked along with the group camping area or separately, depending on the visitor’s needs.

Costs for the site vary depending on the number of people involved and their Montana residency status. Reservation transaction fees apply to each reservation.

Reservations can be made for any date from May 1 through Sept. 30 by visiting fwp.mt.gov/stateparks or by calling 1-855-922-6768. Bookings from October through April can be made by calling the park directly at 406-287-3541.
