Best Time to Camp at Devil's Corkscrew Campground

Best season: summer. Summer offers the warmest, most reliable weather and the best access to the reservoir for swimming, kayaking, and shoreline fishing — expect daytime highs around 65–80°F and nights in the 40s–50s. With only four campsites, you get high-quality solitude while still enjoying water-based recreation and clear views of snow-capped peaks reflected in the reservoir.

About Devil's Corkscrew Campground

Devil's Corkscrew Campground sits in the foothills of Flathead National Forest, near Hungry Horse Reservoir. This very small, primitive campground offers just four sites with fire rings and picnic tables, making it one of the most secluded spots in the forest. Campers come for reservoir access, fishing, and mountain views without the crowds of larger developed campgrounds.

Devil's Corkscrew Campground offers a primitive and remote camping experience with minimal facilities.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a glacially carved valley where dramatic limestone cliffs and exposed sedimentary layers frame the reservoir. Dense stands of Douglas fir, western larch, and lodgepole pine surround the sites, and the eastern shoreline position offers sunrise views across the water to snow-capped peaks. The reservoir fills a valley shaped by ancient ice flows, and the surrounding geology reveals prehistoric seas in its rock strata. Osprey and bald eagles fish the coves. Black bears and mountain goats appear on distant slopes.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo lodging accommodations are available within the campground.
