Little Blackfoot River Dispersed Campsite #3

The Little Blackfoot River offers several excellent dispersed camping options. Little Blackfoot River Dispersed Campsite #3 is the third and final marked site along the river in Helena National Forest. This area is particularly valuable because it's clearly marked as public land in an area that's checkerboarded with private property. The site is spacious with a flat camping area that accommodates both tents and RVs. Additionally, there's at least one more dispersed site about a mile down the road if this one is occupied. These sites provide quiet riverside camping with minimal traffic disturbance.

Little Blackfoot River Dispersed Campsite #3 offers minimal amenities typical of dispersed camping. The site features a fire pit for campfires, with fallen trees in the area available for firewood. There are no developed facilities such as running water, toilets, or trash service, so campers need to pack in and pack out all supplies and waste. The site provides a large flat area suitable for multiple tents or several RVs. However, RV access can be challenging as the entrance requires backing down into the site and then backing up into a brush area when departing. This is primitive camping that requires self-sufficiency.

The Little Blackfoot River offers excellent fishing opportunities with easy creek access directly from the campsite. Anglers can simply walk from their campsite to the water's edge to fish. The river is known for trout fishing, though specific species aren't detailed. The peaceful environment with minimal road traffic creates an ideal fishing atmosphere. For the best experience, bring appropriate fishing gear and check Montana fishing regulations before your trip, as permits may be required.
