Sunrise Campground

















Sunrise Campground in Bozeman reflects the love of its owners in a multitude of decorative touches about the grounds.  The photographer in me enjoyed multiple opportunities to see and photograph creative bird feeders, a soothing water fountain, beautiful flowers and comfy seating areas about the grounds.  Mary Jo was so accommodating I felt like I had arrived home rather than at another campground stop for the night.

These are the places that stay in your memory long after the trip has ended and the owners seem more like friends than the person behind a desk checking you in for the night.  We collected a sample of Montana dirt here for Jim’s sister’s collection because she was missing Montana.  Mary Jo told us the soil here is a clay-like soil and when it gets wet it sticks to everything.
You just never truly know when you look at the Good Sam Travel Directory and pick a campground what you will find.  Relying upon the rating system helps, but it’s the little things not described that I enjoy.  Taking away ideas for plantings in my own yard or just experiencing the beauty of someone else’s creativity is always such an added pleasure.  I am glad we stayed there and shared in a few moments of their lives.
