Lewis & Clark National Forest's Kings Hill Campground sits at roughly 8,000 feet elevation near Showdown Ski Area, with 18 drive-in sites spread far enough apart to provide separation between neighbors. Recent dead-tree removal left visible marks across the campground, including charred slash piles and cleared areas, though sites with standing trees remain. Highway 89 runs close by, so road noise is noticeable. Each site has a picnic table, metal fire ring, and BBQ grill. Water and vault toilets are on-site, but there is no trash service. Pack out everything, and check Many Pines Campground to the north if you want a backup option on the same corridor.
Description
8000-foot elevation. 18 campsites at the top of Kings HIll Pass on US 89. In the summer, this is the hub of huge networks of mountain bike trails. If that's a little ambitious for you, try driving up Porphyry Peak to check out the view from the manned fire tower at the top. In the winter, this becomes a playground for downhill skiers, snowmobilers, and cross-country skiers, who visit the Showdown Winter Recreation Area or the nearby Silvercrest Winter Recreation Area. Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
