Anglers and OHV riders who want a quiet base camp on the cheap. Most sites sit right on Logging Creek with good spacing between them, and the Deep Creek OHV trailhead is five miles south. Midweek in summer is the sweet spot before weekend crowds fill all 25 first-come sites.
Currently closed for a construction season, so confirm it's open before making the drive. Even in a normal year, the access roads are rough enough that reviewers specifically warn against Logging Creek Road. Take Evans-Riceville Road instead, and know water shuts off after Septem

The elevation is 4,500 ft. The campground stretches along Logging Creek between limestone cliffs and conifer-covered mountain sides. Many sites are adjacent to the creek with the sound of the creek heard throughout the campground. This is a very picturesque location away from it all. At the far end of campground one can easily access the creek which is well suited for children (and adults) to play. Sites without grilles do have stone fire pits. The closest town is actually Monarch, MT. Great Falls is listed as the closest town because it is the safest starting point to access the campground.
Open Memorial Day weekend through Thanksgiving. No water after September 15.
The water spigots are hand pumps. Many of us found history to be a dull and boring subject in school. A day trip to the Lewis and Clark Interpretative Center, in Great Falls, brings the Corps of Discovery’s expedition to life. The purpose of the Center is to express appreciation for the amazing accomplishments of this Expedition. Lewis & Clark National Forest 308

Summer brings daytime highs around 65–80°F and cool nights in the 35–50°F range. Water is turned on from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and this period offers the most reliable access and full amenities. The campground sees heaviest use on summer weekends from anglers and OHV riders. Midweek visits are noticeably quieter. Winter snowfall can blanket the area, but exact seasonal closure dates vary year to year.
Water service Memorial Day–Labor Day; pleasant temps and prime fishing in summer.
Potable water is available from approximately Memorial Day through Labor Day. It may also be shut off due to poor water quality tests, which are carried out regularly.
