Managed by the US Forest Service within Deerlodge National Forest, Spring Hill Campground sits along Highway 1 between Philipsburg and Anaconda, giving it straightforward drive-in access. The campground runs fewer than 20 sites. Tree cover has been thinned following beetle kill, though new growth is coming in, and sites toward the back provide the most separation from road noise. Drinking water, toilets, trash service, and firewood are available on-site, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet. No pets are permitted. With a nearby lake accessible for water sports and fishing, this campground works well for anglers and those using it as a base for exploring the area, including campgrounds near Deerlodge National Forest. Reservations are available; the season runs June through September at $15 per night.
