Bryant Creek Campground is located in the Big Hole watershed of Montana and offers visitors stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The campground is surrounded by the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, which provides ample opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The nearby Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area is a popular destination for backpackers and offers visitors a chance to explore truly remote and rugged terrain.

The campground itself offers a variety of amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. There are 24 campsites available, and reservations are recommended during peak season. Visitors should note that the campground does not have potable water, so they will need to bring their own or treat water from Bryant Creek.

Interesting facts about the area include the fact that the Big Hole River, which runs through the area, is home to one of the last remaining populations of native westslope cutthroat trout in the country. The river is also a popular destination for fly fishing and offers visitors a chance to catch rainbow and brown trout as well.

The best time of year to visit Bryant Creek Campground is during the summer months when temperatures are warm and the days are long. Average temperatures during July and August range from the mid-60s to low 80s during the day and drop into the 40s at night.
