Vigilante Campground is located approximately 24 miles northeast of Helena in the Big Belt Mountains. To access the campground travel northeast of Helena on Highway #280, across the Missouri River to the small community of York. At York continue driving straight on Road #4 to the campground. This 7 acre campground provides access to the Hanging Valley National Recreation Trail and the scenic Trout Creek Canyon Trail.
In Helena, MT, at the intersection of Montana and Custer Avenues, take Custer Ave. east 1.3 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left at intersection onto York Rd. and go 24.3 miles to campground.
A small(ish) yet beautiful campground that isnt too far from town. Hiking nearby is beautiful too. Enjoy dipping your toes in the cold water.
Favorite camping spot around Helena. Stream to cool your feet, rocks for the kids to throw and the most Amazing canyons to walk in with well maintained trails.
Taking a stroller is even possible in the beautiful hike.
Bring your camera because you will see some Mountain sheep if you keep your eyes up.
We hiked the trail head that's located at Vigilante campground " the trout creek canyon trail". Beautiful trail! 12 miles long, winding, and must be great for mountain bikers too as we saw a lot of them.
