Accessible year-round via two miles of dirt road, Hildreth Lighthouse Campground provides basic tent camping on flat grass sites for $20 per night. The campground operates without on-site staff, requiring campers to navigate minimal signage at the self-pay station upon arrival.
Facilities include restrooms, though one reviewer noted condition issues that led to switching between men's and women's facilities. The gravel access road can present challenges, particularly for late arrivals. Campers seeking additional amenities may consider Lewis and Clark State Park Campground seven miles southeast, which offers more developed facilities and paved access.
