Boulder Creek

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Within Beaverhead National Forest, Boulder Creek provides drive-in camping with sites accommodating RVs up to 30 feet. The campground sits alongside Boulder Creek, with the flowing water creating a natural sound barrier from the nearby Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway. Campers report clean vault toilets and well-maintained tent sites under tree cover.

Access requires navigating a challenging mountain road with steep drop-offs and narrow sections that some visitors find intimidating. The campground includes standard Forest Service amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water. Lodgepole Campground sits just 0.2 miles away for those preferring easier road access.

Many campers appreciated the clean sites and facilities, peaceful river sounds, and good tree cover. The access road received mixed feedback for being narrow with steep drop-offs.

Wish people would follow basic rules

Lovely peaceful camp. Water out of the pump is very rusty so filtration a must. People need to go over the rules. No holding sites it is illegal. Please pay and show your tickets. Don't park in a campsite to visit other campers use day use. Do not leave smoldering campfires ever. That is considered unattended. Put it out so others dont have to breath it in all night. No gens after 10pm. Why doesnt everyone get better batteries and solar. It is easy and economical. Did i say pay? Why folks think they dont have to pay cause no one is watching. What other rules get broken by such folks when no one is checking. Have some honor in an honor system and especially when this regime has no honor.

Gorgeous campground with sketchy roads and tons of bugs

The road to the campground was terrifying. Steep drop offs, sharp rocks, narrow lanes, and just really scary to be honest. The campground was nice, it was very pretty but the bugs were overwhelming for some.

Wonderful, we had SO much fun!

Great location closer to the north side of the park near Wise. Was great falling asleep to the sound of the river. Everything in the park was a short drive away. Campsite was clean, good spots to pitch the tent. Vault toilet was clean and had a fresh bottle of hand sanitizer. Highly recommend Crystal park as an activity for families with kids, but even adults find it highly enjoyable. Highly recommend this location.
