Lower loop regulars, especially sites 1 and 3, get creek proximity, solid shade, and level ground. Cutthroat fishing, the 2-mile interpretive trail, and three longer hiking routes give active campers plenty to do, and the friendly hosts and $15 peak-season fee make it easy to jus

The elevation is 4,200 ft. The campground is comprised of two unnamed loops. The first is adjacent to Lee Creek and is convenient to the Wagon Mtn. Trail portion of the Lolo Trail. The other loop is above on a hillside. The campground is heavily wooded with various pines. It is convenient to US Rt. 12 and the historic Lolo Pass Visitor Center.
Open Memorial Day through Labor Day Lolo Pass Visitor Information Center has an interesting history. Structures currently in use are the old Mud Creek cabin, woodshed and tack shed. All built around1923, these buildings were moved to their current location in 1979. The Information Center features Lewis and Clark’s journey across the Bitterroot Mountains and the Flight of the Nez Perce as well as general information on the area. One feature the authors found interesting was the cabin requires “belting” each winter to prevent the weight of the snow from collapsing the structure. Now that’s a lot of snow!

Summer is the reliable window. Daytime temperatures range from 50°F to 82°F, with cool nights that make campfires comfortable. The campground operates Memorial Day through Labor Day, matching the region's most stable weather. July and August bring the warmest days and the heaviest weekend crowds. Spring runoff makes the creeks run high. By late September, nights drop below freezing and snow becomes likely at this elevation.
