Castle Mountains

Small sites.  Very rough road going in.  Vault toilets.  Beautiful little creek running through the campground.

Good place for kids

Met a group of friends here for two nights in early June. Nice, but small campground with about 10 or so sites. Some are not well situated for parking a camper, but it didn’t seem to crowded and we had our choice of spots early evening on a Friday. Nice creek through campground with small pools and fallen logs to cross on.

Nice Campground in the Castle Moutains

Lewis and Clark National Forest Grasshopper Campground is a nice campground in the Castle Mountains. As you enter this campground you find a trail head to the left and then a picnic area to the right. The campsites start right after the first of two vault toilets for the campground. At the beginning of the campground loop, right behind the registration box you will find the hand pump for the campground. A creek runs right through the middle of the campground. One nice feature of this campground is once the campground gates are closed and locked, you can still drive to sites 1 and 2 as they are before the closure gate, so as long as you can still drive up the road you can camp. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. I did notice at least one site also had a BBQ grill in addition to the fire ring. Sites are $10 per night with a 16 day stay limit.
