Summary

There are no fees. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, pit toilets, but no drinking water or hookups. RVs up to 30 feet can access the site, though the road is rough and best for high-clearance vehicles. Nestled in a forested setting along the West Fork Bitterroot River, the campground offers a peaceful, rustic experience with fishing, hiking, and nearby trail access. Best visited June through September, it’s ideal for campers seeking solitude and natural beauty away from crowds.

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.
