Summary
Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water (in season). There are no RV hookups, though small RVs/trailers can access the loop. Nestled in a serene, forested canyon along Cataract Creek in Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, the campground provides a peaceful, rustic experience. Nearby, explore trails like the Continental Divide Trail and the historic Kading Cabin. Best visited June–September, when wildflowers bloom and trails are snow-free, this quiet spot is ideal for hikers, anglers, and nature lovers.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
