Martin Creek

Within Bitterroot National Forest, Martin Creek provides a small loop campground with sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet. The Forest Service operates this drive-in facility from Memorial Day through Labor Day, positioning it 17 miles from the nearest town along a road that passes several private homes and other small campgrounds.

Sites offer varying levels of tree coverage, with some providing afternoon shade while others remain more exposed. Martin Creek flows past the campground, creating opportunities for fly fishing and attracting cyclists who ride down to cast from the banks. A vault toilet sits centrally located within the loop, and a water pump operates near the pay station. Trailheads begin just down the road, leading into forest areas recovering from previous burns. Campers can find places to camp around Sula or explore the East Fork Cabin less than a mile south for additional options in this corridor.

Visitors often highlighted the peaceful setting and well-maintained facilities. Many mentioned spacious sites with river access, though some areas have limited natural shade.

Nice camp.

This is a nice little camping spot. Not full on memorial Day weekend. I can only assume it will be busy for the Four of July. There are some nice trails nearby.

Something for everyone

Tucked away and well maintained, we loved this spot! Site 4 was the best with trees for shade and access to the river, but site 2 was also nice! This was a super quiet place to camp with or without kids! It also has a number of places to fly fish as well as hike! There is also a fire lookout just a short drive away! A 1.3 mile up hill hike will have you breathing hard but it’s worth it! And again, everything is well maintained! Loved this spot!

Sunny spot at the fork in the river and center to a variety of trailheads

17 miles from town - you don’t know what to expect. There is a nice river bubbling past. Conifers inhabit the hillside. Flies and ants abound in our camp.

We took the site on the west thinking to get afternoon shade. The trees are far away though. Luckily the day is overcast and the temperature stays manageable. The vault toilet is in the center of the small loop. Each site has plenty of space but only distance separates us from other campers. A water pump is by the pay station.

Just down the road is a trail head for hiking. We took advantage and found a forest recovering from a burn. It’s interesting to see how it is growing back. A man road his bike (complete with front wicker basket) to the river to fish. This is a place to enjoy tranquility. Our screen room keeps the flies at bay and a book fills our mind.

The road here passes many interesting homes and a few other small campgrounds. We drove further and found the end of the road at Moose Creek. It appears to have more trails along the way and down some split off roads. Signs give mule deer hunting limitations so be careful of the season.
