Free and first-come, Devil's Corkscrew Campground sits within Flathead National Forest in Essex, Montana, open from May through November. The access road is notably rough, with significant bumps and sharp curves that make the drive down demanding, especially for larger vehicles. Sites are small, each with a fire pit, and a toilet is on-site. No pets are allowed. Motorboat traffic on the nearby lake is audible from camp, which is worth factoring in. Campers researching campgrounds near Flathead National Forest will find Peters Creek about 4.4 miles southeast as a nearby alternative. Come prepared for a rugged approach and a no-frills stay.
