Gravel road access marks the approach to Cliff Swallow, a dispersed campsite within the Cliff Swallow Fishing Access Site along the Stillwater River in Fishtail, Montana. Signage at the site designates tent camping only, though at least one van camper has stayed without issue. A vault toilet is on-site. The river is accessible for wading, with some algae near the shore in late summer. This spot works best for anglers or self-sufficient campers comfortable with minimal amenities and a short gravel drive in.
