Classic blm camping

Lots of open space and locations to pull out--beautiful views as well! To access this place we went towards Copper City Trail Head, and drove by the entrance onto BLM lands. Also, note that this place seems common for mountain bikers and trail bikers, so you'll likely run into a few of those. Also also, this place is DRY--so be sure to bring your own water (but on the plus side, no bugs!!)

Summer Biking

Great spot right on parts of the trial! It’s open and you can see miles in each direction. No shade, no bathrooms, but most have man made fire pits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What activities are available near Copper City trails and camping areas?

The Copper City area is popular for mountain biking and trail biking, with direct access to parts of the trail system from many camping spots. The open landscape provides excellent opportunities for hiking and enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding area. Stargazing is exceptional due to the remote location and minimal light pollution. While specific amenities are limited, the man-made fire rings at many sites allow for campfires when conditions permit. The secluded nature of the area also makes it ideal for wildlife viewing and photography.

What are the rules and regulations for BLM camping in the Copper City area?

Copper City BLM follows standard dispersed camping regulations. There are no designated bathrooms or facilities, so campers must pack out all trash and waste. Camping is allowed at existing pullout sites, many of which have man-made fire rings. Practice Leave No Trace principles and maintain a clean campsite. The area is shared with recreational trail users, so respect other visitors. Standard BLM regulations typically limit stays to 14 days within a 28-day period. Fire restrictions may apply seasonally - always check current fire conditions before having a campfire. Contact the local BLM office for the most current regulations.

Where is BLM camping allowed near Copper City, Montana?

BLM camping at Copper City is available in multiple pullout sites near the Copper City Trail Head. These dispersed camping areas offer beautiful open views with visibility for miles in each direction. Campers should be aware that the main access route may occasionally experience closures - a bridge was previously reported out, so it's advisable to check current road conditions before visiting. The camping areas are located on BLM lands just past the trail head entrance, with several spots to choose from in the open landscape.
