Very nice campground

Just stayed one night while passing through. Very nice host! Stayed in the upper area. More like a parking lot than a campground. But large sites and very level. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Well maintained and very clean vault toilets.

Great Forest Service Campground

Clean vault toilets. Friendly Hosts on sight. Grounds well maintained. WATER AVAILABLE. Came in dry and filled up with water. Lower campground has several sites on water. Upper is more rustic with larger lots. (We have a 40 foot fifth wheel) Lovely hike to the top of the mountain over looks the park and the Big Hole River. Boat ramp in the campground and also one at the main entrance (fun for dogs ) Only 10.00/night. 4 stars because the mosquitoes were INSANE! Apparently only in July and August.

BLM campground 4-5 miles from I-15

All the other reviews describe this site well. Several 40-50 ft pull thru sites along the river. Lots of easy back in sites. 30-40ft pleasant stop on the way to Glacier NP.

Nice and quiet campground located by the river. Vault toilets are clean and well lit. Camp host is friendly and will makes rounds throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable leaving my tent at my site during the day. Lots of wildlife, mainly birds during my stay.

Nice BLM campground on Bigh Hole River

The BLM's Divide Bridge Campground is a nice campground located on the Big Hole River just off of state highway 43. The campground is a short distance past the pleasant day use area and boat launch. Just before the campground is the Sawmill Gulch Trail Head. The campground has two loops. The upper loop sites are more in the open and have shelters over the picnic tables. The lower loop has campsites along the river. No shelters over the picnic tables in the lower loop, the sites along the river are the best and offer the most shade. All sites have level gravel parking pads and have picnic tables and fire-rings. The two pit toilets sit between the two camping loops, the site also has water, but no trash service.

Cute little campground

Mostly RVs, I was the only one in a tent, though it was still pretty empty. Beautiful location, right on the river. There are boat launches there. It was self-serve registration when I was there, and only 10$! There were some very cute bunnies hanging out. I couldn't figure out the water pumps, but managed with what I had in the truck. A fine place to lay your head!
