15 campsites along the North Fork of the Sun River. Good fishing for rainbow and westslope cutthroat trout. Hiking nearby on the Mortimer Gulch National Recreation Trail. Motorized and non-motorized boat access at the boat launch. **Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating.

In Augusta, MT, take Manix St. west (toward Gibson Reservoir) 3.7 miles to Gibson Reservoir sign. At intersection, turn right and go 16.8 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
Very cool place , and very close to the river , lots of deer and other wildlife , get site 13
probably one of my favorite campgrounds in the Augusta/Choteau area. water available on site, clean restrooms, and amazing views. I spent a couple weeks here back in 2002, and the place is still as perfect as it was then. And the Sun Canyon Lodge is just up the road with great food and drink! You can't go wrong with this campground.
Nice area. $10 per night. Most all the campsites were overgrown with weeds and grass...the forest service needs to invest in a weed wacker! We stayed in the free area just before the official campground, not wooded very well and only about 3 or 4 sites worth camping at. Horribly windy on this trip. Great view of the river/reservoir.
