Sites spread out along a gravel access road provide privacy between camping spots in this Forest Service campground. The Magruder Corridor itself requires high clearance vehicles, particularly when approaching from the western route, though the eastern access proves less challenging for most rigs.
Flat sites accommodate big rigs, and the campground maintains a quiet atmosphere despite ATV and side-by-side traffic on the nearby road corridor. Hunters and horse packers frequent the area during peak seasons. Basic amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, with pets welcome throughout the campground. Deep Creek Campground offers another option for campsites near Bitterroot National Forest.
