Summary

Located in Lolo National Forest, it’s a primitive, scenic setting nestled in dense forest with views of Beaver Ridge. There are no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups, but some spots have makeshift fire rings. RVs are allowed, though high-clearance vehicles are recommended. Campers enjoy solitude, wildlife, and access to nearby hiking and OHV trails, including the Beaver Ridge Loop. It’s best visited June–September for dry, accessible roads. This remote, quiet experience is ideal for self-sufficient campers seeking rustic charm and natural beauty.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
