About

Hidden Gem
This campground is AT the rest stop. It's a bit different. If travelers knew about it they would stop and go into the campground for a picnic lunch and it is great to let the dogs walk in the woods, but no one ever does that because they do not realize the National Forest Campground is there... They stop at the rest stop (new redone) and move on.
Hardly anyone goes there on loop G. The other Clark Fork side gets some weekenders. The other loops are on the other side of the highway accessible by a tunnel under the highway and one loop was deactivated a few years ago because of a lack of traffic. One side is right above the Clark Fork River. The other Loop G is on the other side of the highway and has one set of "real toilets" a potable and non-potable/dump water station for filling water tanks and rinsing tanks AND its a nice free dump station. Sites are smaller being built back in the 60's I'm thinking in G, but a few drive throughs on the other side by the river. It's 35 minutes north of Missoula MT. It is Close to trails has a half mile nature trail onsite and river access is close by... If you are traveling, need a really nice campground with few people in the woods, and inexpensive, this is the place... Coming to fish, do some kayaking or rafting on Clark Fork Check.
There is some road noise and on Loop G the occasional train next to the campground. The Clark Fork side doesn't have the train but seem louder closer to the road. That does not bother us so no big deal there. All sites are wooded...
Refreshing Stop Right on the Interstate
This campground was a nice surprise, right off the highway. Lots of tall ponderosa pines, but also plenty of sun to put the solar panels out for charging.
No hook-ups, but lots of water fill stations and picnic tables at each site. Plenty of Verizon bars to work. I believe there was a dump station.
Nice size, paved sites. Level.
Nice camp hosts. A short hike right off the campground and the river was running pretty fast down below. You could see the river, but don't think you can access it from the campground.
Definitely worth a stop for a weary traveler!

Easy access
Right off I90 deeper into the woods behind the Quartz Rest-stop. Large pull throughs and medium to small back in sites. Water available, vault toilets, bear resistant trash containers and dump station. $10/night or $5/night with interagency Golden Pass. Highway noise can be bothersome but given the sign of times (COVID-19 and EVERYONE else out camping) we are thankful for a place to call home on a Friday afternoon! All sites are first come first serve.
