Big Pine Campground

A little off the beaten path, this small camp/recreation area is quaint and quiet. My husband and I spent a night in the spot closest to the Big Pine (the area namesake). A massive tree worth reading about at the plaque beneath it. A creek/river runs nearby. Definitely a great spot to camp.

Secluded And Worth It

This campground isn’t usually busy. It is forested and near a beautiful creek. An enormous pine tree sits on the banks of the creek. There is a bathroom. The mosquitoes are thick in the summertime.

Quiet forested campground near a creek

This campground is a Montana fish wildlife and Parks fishing access site. I believe there are five sites with fire rings and tables. And they just put in new tables. There are some other sites located between this main area and the highway. And there is a second campground 6 mi south that is also free. There is a pit toilet. However the only water source is from the stream and if the water level is high it's difficult to get.

Nice, free

This spot was amazing. I would camp here again anytime. There were only maybe 4-5 first come first serve sites, a couple with creek access. But the area was amazing and super peaceful. No hookups and no room for big stuff. Excellent boondocking not far from Missoula. 

Scenic, peaceful, not far off the highway

It’s a beautiful location with dispersed sites and enough room for rigs. THERE IS NO SERVICE once you reach the campsite areas. There is a creek and tons of sites to camp along.

Good camping/fishing Spot
