Lake access draws anglers and paddlers to Beaverhead National Forest South Van Houten Campground, an established US Forest Service site operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The campground sits within Montana's Beaverhead National Forest, about nine miles south of Jackson.
Pets are not permitted at this location, which distinguishes it from many other forest service campgrounds in the region. Campers can also consider the nearby North Van Houten Campground for additional lakeside options. Reserve early for peak summer weekends when lake activities are most popular.
Description
This campground is located across the lake from North Van Houten Campground and surrounded by lodgepole pine.
