Chief Looking Glass Campground

One of my favorite spots to camp relax during the spring-fall. I spend a lot of time here when home from fires to get peace and quiet and not have to deal with in town people when I am home during the summer. Good fishing, can float the river from Florence bridge to camp, mostly private spots, most spots are on the tributary run off of the bitterroot river, lots of wildlife from small to larger animals, there is garbage disposal and restrooms which are well taken care of most times.

There was a creepy guy who wouldn’t stop staring and getting closer to our campsite. We eventually packed up and left. There are around 13 campsites all next to the water. The vibes were off. I’m sure this is an isolated experience, but if you are girls traveling alone maybe skip this one. Also the misquotes were dubious. However this campsite is the closest to Missoula besides the KOA, so it might work if you are in a pinch. Can’t get in after 10:00 PM there are spikes.

As soon as you drive up those mosquitoes are licking their chops for your flesh. I’ve never seen so many or been bit so many times. I put on bug spray and long sleeve t-shirt but that did nothing to stay their blood thirsty lust for my man flesh.

All of the camps are great. $18 a night if you are from out of state. Right next to the river and lots of trees. Fire pits, bathrooms, picnic tables and good cell coverage.

Probably a better camping area in the Spring or Fall but avoid if at all possible in the summer unless you have a camper or build a big fire or can live in a mosquito net.
