Elevation2448 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies pine forest terrain along Lake Koocanusa's shoreline. The elevation keeps things cooler than the valleys below, and the pines provide scattered shade across the camping area. The lake itself stretches long and narrow through the surrounding mountains, creating a reservoir landscape. Expect dense forest and water access rather than sweeping vistas.
