The Galena Gulch Rec Site Campground is located in the Boulder watershed of Montana and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The campground is situated near several points of interest, including the historic mining town of Basin, the Boulder River Wilderness, and the nearby Elkhorn ghost town.

The campground itself has several amenities, including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, and it is open from May through October. There are no hookups for RVs, but there is a water source available.

One interesting fact about the area is that it was once a mining town, and there are still remnants of old mining equipment scattered throughout the area. Visitors can hike or bike along the nearby trails to see these historic sites.

The best time of year to visit the Galena Gulch Rec Site Campground is during the summer months when temperatures average in the mid-70s during the day and can drop to the 40s at night. This time of year also offers the most opportunities for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.
