Spread across a creek drainage in campsites near Beaverhead National Forest, Grasshopper Campground sits at elevation in southwest Montana, open June through September with drinking water and trash service on-site. Sites are well-spaced. The campground fills on holiday weekends, though a camp host keeps the pit toilets clean and maintained. Elkhorn Hot Springs Resort is within walking distance, and Crystal Park, where visitors can dig for quartz and amethyst, is a short drive away. Snow is possible even in late summer, so checking the forecast before arrival is worth doing. Price Creek lies a few miles northeast for campers wanting a nearby alternative.
