This listing has the wrong GPS coordinates and is a duplicate

We tried to drive out here and the gps location is on private land. The actual campground is to the east on the main highway on the south side of the road. This listing is a duplicate to this one https://thedyrt.com/camping/montana/lolo-creek-area which has the correct coordinates. I submitted an edit to consolidate but wanted to leave this review incase others found it.

Nice campsite off the grid

Wide campsites in a loop near river. Most people stay here for a night. Easy to pay, at the entrance you can pay in cash in a envelope. Campgrounds are with picknick table and firepit. Nice camphost. Only thing to consider is that this campisite is next to very busy road with a lot of traffic. But good for overnight stay. Vault toilets and some water points. There is no cell service atnor near the campsite.

Beautiful and forested!

This is a gorgeous area with tons of shade and sites right on the water. It is close to the highway, but the highway isn’t super busy to begin with. Only a short drive further down the road to Lolo Hot Springs! Sites are shaded and well spread apart, there is a clear path to the bathroom from almost every site, and the road is paved. Can’t wait to spend the night here!

Birthday camping

Amazing river access from this spot. Bears, deer, beavers, frogs in the bogs along the river, butterflies, bats, fish, bunnies, grouse, chipmunks, eagles, black squirrels, snakes, and of course mosquitoes and flies... each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There are bear safe food bins and trash cans along with port-a-potty buildings.
