Clover Meadows Dispersed Camping and Picnic Area, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, Montana
Mid-July wildflower season is the reason to come. Self-sufficient tent campers who bring all their own water, pack out trash, and don't need fire rings or cell service will find the open meadows and Black Butte access genuinely worth the 31-mile drive from Ennis.
No fire rings, no potable water, no defined sites, and no cell signal for miles makes this a poor fit for anyone expecting even basic Forest Service infrastructure. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent, and mosquitoes are relentless at altitude.

Summer delivers the best conditions: warm days in the 60s and 70s with cool nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. Trails and meadows are fully accessible, and wildflowers peak mid-to-late July. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, so pack layers. Access and weather deteriorate quickly after summer. Early snow can dust the meadows as autumn arrives. Check road conditions before heading in.
