Lolo National Forest's dispersed camping around Lake Elsina sits in undeveloped forest terrain with no developed facilities, no fee, and drive-in access. The site allows campfires, pets, and alcohol. One notable consideration: the area sees regular foot traffic from hikers passing through on their way to Lake Dinah, and mosquitoes can be heavy in summer months. Campers heading into places to camp around Lolo National Forest should pack insect repellent and expect company on the trail.
