Best Swimming Hole

Just a pit toilet and small campsites punctuate this FF jewel. In late July 2020 I arrived about noon and quickly rinsed off in the surprisingly clear bottom of the falls. About 5pm a large group of locals converged at the pool and proceeded to have a party. When they departed, they didn’t leave a scrap of litter. Nonetheless, it was an experience I’ll never forget because of the horizontal rock falls. No water, no trash, pit toilet

Right by river, feels fairly remote

Pulled into this campground in our RV in late September and only encountered one other party in the campground. Loved the remote setting. We were able to snag a spot close to the river, so we slept to the sound of rushing water. I’d estimate that half the primitive spots could fit a medium sized RV, the others are car/tent sites.

A Perfect Escape

We camped here on the last night of our Flathead area trip and I have to say this site was easily my favorite place we stayed. We pulled in around 2 PM on a weekend and had no problem finding a spot. This campground works best for tents but you could pull in with a small trailer. The short walk to the river makes for great swimming and picture taking. There is some highway noise but it is not a heavily used road. Would highly recommend this campground.

Beautiful hideaway

It's only small the first 2 sites are the best. Valt toilets cleanish it is free tho with 10day limit. No room for rv or trailers. Sweet swimming hole down the creek with some really good fishing too. You can walk up to the falls either on a trail or along the river on the slate rock. Yaak river road is beautiful worth a night or 4 or 6.

Yaak River Must-Do

The Yaak River campground is a local summertime favorite! Although busy for day-use but locals, the campground can often be quiet in the evening hours. A number of great swimming holes and the waterfall itself make this a great choice! Also, great proximity to trails, beautiful drives, and even some beer on the Yaak River!
