In 2017: "Camping revenue went up about 40 percent last year, while overall visits hit a new record of about 94,000. “It was the first time we had some consistent camp hosts down there, plus there were veteran camp hosts,” Dantic said. The park also added a new tipi campsite, which proved popular. Upgrades to a disc golf course help draw in a different crowd than the camp-and-hike visitor."

📖 About This Campground
Makoshika State Park in Glendive Montana offers RV and tent camping with no hookups. Multiple campground and dispersed camping available. Campgrounds include Artist Vista, Valley View, Pine on Rocks, Cap Rock, and Cains Coulee. To the Lakota Indians, Makoshika meant bad earth or bad land. Today, as Montana's largest state park, the pine and juniper studded badland formations house the fossil remains of such dinosaurs as Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops. You'll find a visitor center at the park entrance with exhibits explaining the site's geologic, fossil, and prehistoric stories. Roads and hiking trails let you explore the park's whimsical badlands landscape. Or try out the campground and the park's disc golf (frisbee golf) course.
