A hard right turn at the dam leads to East Fork Group Area, where the East Fork River flows directly past campsites within Deerlodge National Forest. This Forest Service campground accommodates RVs up to 22 feet and provides drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables among forested terrain.
The river access draws visitors who appreciate immediate water proximity, while a lake sits uphill from the camping area. Hiking trails connect to wilderness terrain containing over 40 lakes, according to campers who've explored the network. The campground serves as a staging point for places to camp around Deerlodge National Forest and works well for groups planning extended backcountry trips.
Description
