Pack it in Pack it out There is no host
Amenities: pit toilets, picnic table, bear safe, gravel sites, gravel road
The sites are small and pads are gravel. Heavy stand of pines and a scattering of aspens. The rod in is very rough but you will enjoy a very beautiful and peaceful site. The road into the campground is line with dispersed camping. The back drop around the campground is so beautiful and makes the trip more than worth it.

Dispersed camping around M-K
There are many dispersed campsites along the road before & after the official M-K sites. Most are river front and have fire pits. There is a turn around for large rigs at the end of the road (cross the river 3 times). Decent graded gravel road with some potholes.
Awesome Place, 100% recommend
There’s lots of sites along the stream that are beautiful and well spaced out from neighbors. Red Lodge is 20 minutes away in case you need something from town, but it’s far enough to feel secluded. Lots of nearby trails and neighboring campgrounds with bathrooms and dumpsters.
