About Campground

“Dispersed camping” is the term used for camping anywhere outside of a developed campground, including in some campgrounds with minimal development.

Dispersed camping is free, and permitted almost everywhere on the Flathead National Forest.

Camping in undeveloped areas requires you to help keep the sites in good condition.
