Lake Creek Campground

Anglers and hikers use Lake Creek Campground as a base for exploring the Fisher River area and surrounding trails within Kootenai National Forest. The US Forest Service maintains four developed sites plus dispersed camping options along a loop road, with Lake Creek running behind the left side of the campground. A 6.5-mile gravel road provides access from Highway 2, creating a sense of removal from traffic.

The campground operates seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day and prohibits pets. Three of the four sites include bear boxes, with two vault toilets positioned on opposite sides of the loop. Campers report finding cut firewood at some sites and note the lack of Verizon cell service. For additional camping in the region, Oscar Miller Camping Area sits less than two miles east.

Guests frequently mentioned the campground's secluded mountain location 6.5 miles off the highway with creek access and no fees. Many appreciated the quiet atmosphere and basic facilities, though cell service is unavailable.

Amazing

Pretty removed from everything, decent gravel road to get in, super quiet and lovely, the creek runs behind the left side of the loop. There are 4 developed sites and a few dispersed ones as well. 3 of the 4 sites had bear boxes, it was only site 2 that appeared to not have one. 2 toilets, one on each side of the loop. There are a couple roads that can be hiked/walked, but just be aware of private roads and properties. No cell service for Verizon. There was a bunch of cut wood already at a couple of the sites and some fallen trees in late August that were good for firewood.

Fishing!

Lake creek is close enough to Hwy 2, but near enough the nearby towns to make beer treks a bit easier. :) Fishing is great as well and lots of local residents who are happy to show you about.

Great Area

I really like this part of Montana. I stayed in the dispersed area for 4 nights and really enjoyed the seclusion here. The campsite is about 6.5 miles off the highway which feels pretty far once you get there. Bathrooms were ok, about as clean as you would expect a campground bathroom to be. This is a great central location if you are interested in checking out some of the hiking trails in the area. The Fisher River is also close by and there is no camping fee.
