About this campground
Nestled along the pristine banks of the East Fork Bitterroot River, this intimate riverside retreat offers four thoughtfully positioned campsites where the gentle murmur of flowing water provides nature's soundtrack. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring for evening gatherings under Montana's star-filled skies, while an accessible vault toilet ensures comfort during your stay. The campground welcomes RVs and trailers up to 20 feet, making it perfect for couples or small families seeking a peaceful escape into nature's embrace.
The campground offers primitive camping options suitable for small trailers, RVs, and tents. No group sites or glamping options are available.

Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic beauty of Montana's changing seasons at this riverside haven. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, where crystalline frost decorates the trees and the river runs dark against white banks. As summer arrives, the campground becomes a cool refuge from the heat, with weeks 28-30 offering particularly delightful conditions—warm, sun-drenched days perfect for river activities followed by pleasantly cool evenings around the campfire.

Natural Features and SceneryWhere mountain meets river, this campground sits at the magical intersection of two distinct ecosystems. Towering evergreens from the surrounding timbered slopes give way to a vibrant ribbon of cottonwood bottomlands that burst into golden flames each autumn. The East Fork Bitterroot River flows alongside the campsites, its clear waters reflecting the sky and providing a constant, soothing presence that defines the character of this special place.
Geological RegionSet within a stunning transition zone where dense mountain forests cascade down to meet the lush river valley below, this campground showcases nature's artistry. The surrounding timbered peaks frame spectacular views while the cottonwood-lined bottomlands create a verdant corridor along the East Fork Bitterroot River, offering campers a front-row seat to one of Montana's most beautiful geological convergences.
