Several hazard tree's along creek by the deeper site's, I camped across from it and was fine nice area close access and still remote
This USDA/Forest Service campground is a few isolated miles back from freeway ... sections of the 'gravel road' may be a bit much for some car campers. We saw no people on the trip in from the highway, and the 1st section of the campground we saw was likewise empty. Primitive campsites looked nice and woodsy. However we did see a recently dead juvenile bear off to the side of the gravel road, being feasted on by 3 very large golden eagles on the way in, and by a whole bunch of vultures on the way out ... May want to pack some good Montana bear spray ...
Nice place to set up a tent and sleep for a night while on a road trip. There’s a pit toilet and a stream that runs along the area. Many of the sites could fit multiple tents.
The road is dirt shortly off of the highway - needed to go slow to avoid potholes and larger rocks, but still made it in a minivan.
Only five or so campgrounds, but not many people are headed up that far so it was very quiet. We only saw one other camper during explorations. No issues with mosquitoes, the creek moves fast enough it is not a problem.
I stayed here in the shoulder season as I was passing through the area and was pleasantly surprised at how clean this campsite was. The road is a little rutted. But the Subaru had no problem getting up there. And it was a short drive, maybe only about 10 minutes. Moving pretty slow up a forest service road. To get here, I saw an a previous review that there were bears cited in the area so I was pretty cautious and kind of kept to my car and camp area but was able to explore around a little bit and the landscape is beautiful.
