Macnab Pond Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Accessible via dirt road, Macnab Pond Campground operates as dispersed camping within Custer National Forest near a spring-fed pond. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site where campers find spots along paths branching from the main road access point. Recent visitors report other campers already present at the pond area, with additional camping locations available on dirt paths opposite the main pond turnoff. These alternate spots provide distance from the primary road while maintaining vehicle access. The pond itself draws from spring water sources. For broader options in the region, campers can explore campsites around Custer National Forest.

Best Dispersed site yet!

Easy to get to. Close to a small charming town Ekalaka,Montana. Nice library, bookended by a good thrift shop and some taverns. The site is clean, recently mowed and surrounded by farms. There are three designated sites.

Custer National Forest

Some folks already camping at the pond. Took the dirt path road opposite the turn off for the pond. Found a nice little spot just far enough from the main road to remain low key.
