About South Fork Campground

Nestled deep in Montana's wilderness, South Fork Campground beckons adventurers with its intimate collection of 7 secluded campsites. This hidden gem serves as your basecamp for exceptional fly fishing expeditions and backcountry hiking adventures through pristine forest trails. As you immerse yourself in this untamed landscape, you'll share the territory with local black bears and grizzlies—making proper food storage in the provided bear-proof containers not just a requirement, but an essential part of your wilderness experience.
The campground offers a limited number of standard campsites. It is suitable for primitive camping, with no potable water or advanced facilities.

Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the raw beauty of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, where towering evergreens create a natural cathedral around your campsite. This remote sanctuary offers the kind of profound solitude that's increasingly rare—where the only sounds are wind through pine boughs, the distant call of elk, and the gentle murmur of mountain streams. The untouched forest canopy filters golden sunlight by day and reveals star-studded skies by night, creating an atmosphere of timeless wilderness tranquility.
