With just three overnight sites and a separate day use area, Cedar Creek Campground runs small by design. Set within St. Joe National Forest outside Fernwood, Montana, the campground is open May through September and stays open later into the season than many comparable Forest Service sites in the region. Roads are well maintained and accessible. No trash service is available, so campers need to pack out their own waste. Vault toilets are on-site; bring your own toilet paper. The day use area has access to the creek, and nearby water draws anglers, though reviews note fishing results vary. Sites accommodate RVs up to 50 feet. Campers looking for campgrounds near Clarkia will find this a workable base, and Emerald Creek Campground is another option a few miles to the southwest. This site works best for self-sufficient campers who prioritize water access and a low-traffic setting.
Description
Cedar Creek Campground features 3 camp units, and vault toilets. There is no developed water so bring your own. Please observe Pack it In Pack it Out for your refuse. Attractions include fishing on the St. Maries River.
