Directly off Highway 89 in the Little Belt Mountains
Fly fishers and weekend escapists from Great Falls will find this worth the 50-mile drive. Belt Creek runs right alongside camp, catch-and-release cutthroat trout rules are in place, and fall daytime temps in the 45-65°F range make for ideal creek-side mornings with almost no com
No hookups, no flush toilets, and current conditions show no water on-site, so self-sufficiency is non-negotiable. First-come, first-served with only 6 sites also means a wasted drive if you show up on a busy summer weekend without a backup plan. Bring your own toilet paper.

Fall delivers the best experience here. Aspens turn gold, creating strong photo opportunities, and daytime temps run 45-65°F with nights dropping into the 20s-30s. Belt Creek flows lower in fall, making fishing and creekside access easier. Crowds disappear after Labor Day. Summer works but gets busier. Spring brings snowmelt runoff and cooler conditions. Pack layers year-round since evenings stay cool even in summer.
Overview: 'Fall delivers the best experience'—aspens turn gold and temperatures are pleasant for day trips.
