About this campground

Nestled along the pristine eastern shores of Hungry Horse Reservoir, this intimate campground offers a secluded mountain retreat just 37 miles from the charming town of Martin City, Montana. With only four carefully positioned campsites, visitors can experience the tranquility of Montana's wilderness without sacrificing accessibility. This hidden gem provides the perfect basecamp for those seeking solitude beneath towering pines while exploring the crystal-clear waters and rugged beauty of one of Montana's most spectacular reservoirs.
Devil's Corkscrew Campground offers a primitive and remote camping experience with minimal facilities.
Historical SignificanceThis area holds deep significance as part of the traditional territories of the Salish and Kootenai peoples, who traveled these mountain passes for centuries. The creation of Hungry Horse Dam in the 1950s transformed this valley into one of Montana's most beloved recreational destinations, balancing human engineering with natural splendor and creating new opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to connect with the wilderness.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal transformations of northwestern Montana, where summer brings warm days perfect for swimming and kayaking, while crisp autumn mornings paint the surrounding forests in brilliant golds and reds. Spring arrives with wildflower blooms and rushing mountain streams, and winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing adventures.
ElevationPerched at a moderate elevation in the Northern Rocky Mountains, the campground offers a perfect balance of accessibility and alpine atmosphere. The elevation provides naturally cooler temperatures during summer months and stunning views of the surrounding peaks, while remaining low enough to extend the camping season well into autumn.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to mirror-like reflections of snow-capped peaks on the reservoir's surface, surrounded by dense forests of Douglas fir, western larch, and lodgepole pine. The eastern shoreline location offers spectacular sunrise views and protection from prevailing winds, while nearby coves and inlets provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing, including frequent sightings of osprey, bald eagles, and the occasional black bear or mountain goat on distant slopes.
Geological RegionSituated within the Northern Rocky Mountains geological province, this campground rests on ancient rock formations carved by glaciers over millions of years. The surrounding peaks showcase dramatic limestone cliffs and exposed sedimentary layers that tell the story of prehistoric seas, while the reservoir itself fills a glacially carved valley, creating a stunning example of how ice, water, and time have sculpted this remarkable landscape.
