About
USDA Forest Service
Welcome to Blankenship Bridge - Dispersed Camping! This spot is a gem for those who love a bit of adventure and don't mind roughing it. Nestled in the beautiful region of Montana, this area offers stunning views, especially at sunrise and sunset. The stars at night are something else, thanks to the clear skies and minimal light pollution.
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. This place is free to camp, which is always a bonus. However, don't expect any frills. There are no toilets, showers, or drinking water, so come prepared. Fires are allowed, so you can still enjoy a good old campfire. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.
The road to the river can be a bit rough, with some potholes that might give your vehicle a workout. A taller vehicle is recommended to navigate the terrain. Once you get there, though, the views are worth it. The river is perfect for a swim, although the water can be quite cold. If you're into fishing, you might want to give it a try, though success isn't guaranteed.
Visitors have mentioned that the area can get crowded, especially during peak times. But there's plenty of space, and the further back you go, the more room you'll find. The beach is easy to access and offers a great spot for a dip or just to relax by the water.
For those planning a visit to Glacier National Park, this spot is conveniently close. It's a fantastic base camp for exploring the park and the surrounding Flathead National Forest. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, as there's no trash service here.
So, if you're looking for a beautiful, no-frills camping experience with easy access to some of Montana's best natural attractions, Blankenship Bridge is the place to be. Enjoy your stay and happy camping!
