Part of the Deerlodge National Forest, this former established campground has transitioned to dispersed camping after forest management removed dead trees following pine beetle damage. The original paved loop road remains intact with four pull-out areas for vehicle access, though all amenities including picnic tables, restrooms, and water have been removed.
A few fire rings survive from the original campground layout, though their placement may limit usable camping spots due to rock piles and deteriorating concrete structures. The forest is actively reclaiming cleared areas, making level tent sites challenging to locate. Campers should bring all water and plan for primitive conditions while enjoying the maintained road access that distinguishes this spot from typical dispersed camping areas. The Mormon Gulch campground operates 2.1 miles east with full facilities for those preferring established amenities.
