SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting in the Castle Mountains of Lewis & Clark National Forest, Grasshopper Campground runs along a creek that cuts directly through the loop, making the water a constant presence at nearly every site. The road in is rough, a detail multiple campers flag, so low-clearance vehicles may want to approach with caution. Sites accommodate RVs up to 50 feet, though some reviewers note that a handful of spots are not well-positioned for larger rigs.

The campground is small, with around ten sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. At least one site also has a BBQ grill. A hand pump near the registration box provides drinking water, and two vault toilets serve the loop. A trailhead sits at the entrance, giving hikers a quick on-foot option without driving elsewhere. Richardson Campground is less than a mile east for those who find Grasshopper full on busy weekends.

The campground runs from Memorial Day through Thanksgiving, and reservations are available, though sites 1 and 2 sit outside the closure gate and remain accessible even after the campground is locked for the season. Dexter I. notes that "a creek runs right through the middle of the campground," which holds true as one of the most consistent details across reviews. Pets are welcome, alcohol is permitted, and the $10 nightly rate reflects a straightforward, no-frills stay in a forested mountain setting worth the drive for those who plan ahead.

Visitors often highlighted the scenic creek and basic amenities, though many mentioned small sites and rough access roads. Several reviews noted it's a nice but compact forest campground with vault toilets and reasonable pricing at $10/night.

Host thinks he owns the place

We arrived on Tuesday to find 3 of the largest sunniest sites had cones and signs that said they were closed for maintenance. When Al the host was asked he admitted he was reserving the sites for family come Thursday. He was asked if he had permission to do that in a first come first serve campground. He said "I have been here 13 years i can do what I want!" It is illegal to reserve or hold fcfs sites. I reported him. We left and went to another 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.
