Deerlodge National Forest's Pigeon Creek campground sits along a creek in the mountains above Butte, accessible via Fish Creek Road after a stretch of rough terrain that trips up drivers relying on GPS navigation. Campers coming from the east should bypass the private road Google often suggests and continue past the Cedar Hills Road turnoff. The site is free, has pit toilets and drinking water, and fits smaller rigs well. One reviewer notes a Class B van handled the road without issue, but trailers are not recommended. Anglers and those who prefer places to camp near Deerlodge National Forest with room to spread out will find the low crowds and creek access worth the drive.
Description
Pigeon Creek Campground is located on the eastside of the Highland Mountain Range, approximately 20 miles east of Butte, MT. The campground has 6 units that will accomodate tents only. The road leading to the campground is narrow with sharp turns making it hard to pull a trailer to the site.
