Setting

Limited privacy

White Sandy Campground sits on the west shore of Hauser Lake at Prickly Pear Creek, facing Eldorado Bar and the Big Belt Mountains. Set in sagebrush rangeland, this 32-site loop offers gravel parking pads, picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, vault toilets, and mountain views. Site amenities include a concrete boat ramp, courtesy dock, beach, fish cleaning station, and a reservable powered pavilion. Trails run through the park, with mountain biking, boating, and fishing nearby. A general store is opposite the entrance, and Helena is a short drive away.

Getting there: From Helena drive north, from Great Falls drive south on I-15 to the Lincoln Road exit, turn east on Lincoln Rd and continue to the T-intersection with Hauser Dam Rd, turn left (North) and continue about 4 miles until you reach White Sandy Recreation Area directly in front of you on the right hand side of the road. If you get to Black Sandy state park, you have gone too far.

  • Limited separation from through roads or other sites here, a 27-site campground with the nearest through road 0.2 miles off.
