Sheldon Mountain Trailhead Camp

Tall firs shade the sandy dirt pullouts at this dispersed trailhead camp in Kootenai National Forest, where a visitor on a summer Saturday found the site entirely to themselves. Amenities are basic but present: vault toilets, picnic tables, and metal fire rings with grates. Verizon users report one bar of service, though it may not be reliable enough for data. Recent visitors note that some road spurs have been blocked off, and a ranger has been checking in to enforce access rules, so usable spots are fewer than they once were. Campers wanting full hookups or more established facilities can compare campgrounds around Libby or check out Timberlane Campground to the north.
