Copper Creek Campground, Middle Fork Road, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, Montana, USA
Fly fishers and anyone who wants cool summer nights (35-50°F after dark) without crowds. The Middle Fork of Rock Creek runs right through camp, the eight-site cap means you'll actually hear the water, and the long-tenured caretaker earns consistent praise for keeping things in or
Trailers over 22 feet won't fit, and cell service is essentially gone at camp with a workaround about a mile out. If being reachable matters, or you're bringing a big rig, this isn't your spot. Cash or check only, so plan accordingly before the 30-minute drive from Philipsburg.

Summer delivers the most reliable conditions, with daytime highs between 65 and 80°F and nights dropping to 35–50°F. The elevation means crisp evenings even in July and August, so pack layers. Water levels stay good for fly fishing through summer, and trails remain accessible. Spring arrives late at this elevation, and fall brings frost on clear mornings. Weekends see more visitors, but the eight-site limit keeps crowds manageable.
Summer (late May–Sept) is peak season with reliable weather and best access for fishing.
