4500-foot elevation. 25 campsites along Logging Creek, which is more scenic than its name implies. Fishing for brook and rainbow trout in the creek. Trailhead for the Deep Creek National Recreation Trail, which explores the nearby mountains with a network of loop trails, about 5 miles south of the campground. All 28 sites within the campground are accessible. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
From Great Falls, MT, take US Rt. 89 south 3.2 miles to State Rt. 227. Turn right onto Rt. 227 and go 5 miles to "Y" intersection. Bear left at intersection toward Stockett, MT and go 8.7 miles (past Stockett) to another "Y" intersection. Bear left onto Evans-Riceville Rd. (dirt and gravel) and go 15.4 miles to still another "Y" intersection. Bear right (single-lane dirt and gravel with turnouts) and go 4.4 miles to Logging Creek campground/Forest Rt. 839 sign. Turn right onto Rt. 839 and go 2.2 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground.
The perfect place to be on a hot July Monday afternoon. I'm sure other days work as well, but the lack of people on a Monday was amazing.
