Lone Tree Campground

Lone Tree Campground appears to operate on a first-come, first-served basis rather than taking reservations. For the most accurate and up-to-date reservation information, contact the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office that manages the site. Given its small size of only six campsites, arriving early during peak periods is recommended to secure a spot.

Lone Tree Campground offers six campsites plus a group use area centered around a single Ponderosa Pine tree. Each campsite features a shade structure, picnic table, and fire pit, which are particularly valuable since natural shade is limited. The campground provides level parking areas with well-maintained access roads. While basic, the campground's facilities are designed to enhance the outdoor experience while overlooking the scenic reservoir and nearby Rocky Canyon with its vertical rimrock cliffs.

Clark Canyon Reservoir offers excellent fishing opportunities directly accessible from Lone Tree Campground. Campers can enjoy fishing along the shoreline within walking distance of their sites, with direct lake access from the campground. The reservoir is known for its fishing opportunities, making it a popular destination for anglers. For specific information about fish species, fishing regulations, and licenses, check with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks before your visit.

Late spring through early fall is generally the best time to visit Lone Tree Campground. Summer provides warm weather for enjoying the reservoir, though the limited natural shade makes the provided shade structures especially valuable during hot days. Fall offers milder temperatures and potentially less crowded conditions. Weather can change quickly in Montana, so come prepared with appropriate gear regardless of when you visit. Winter access may be limited or unavailable due to typical Montana mountain weather conditions.
