"Right next to the creek, with another small branch cutting through the middle of the campground, the only thing I could hear was the water and later a fire spotter plane overhead."
"Stay here for quick access to Lamar Valley. Be aware of your surroundings, we had a coyote visit us unexpectedly!"
LegendPhilipsburg Bay Campground is a beautiful large campground right on the shore of Georgetown lake. This 69 site campground sits among large pine trees with campsites nicely spread apart. The large trees give you plenty of shade throughout the day. This paved campground is split up into three loops, two of which are first come first served, the other can be reserved. The area also has a day use area and boat launch. Cost is $15 per night. Campground has trash service, and water is available during the summer season. I visited in November so no water for me. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Several vault toilets are located in each loop. Bear lockers are spread out through out the campground for food storage.
LegendThe Dalles Campground is a nice pleasant campground with 10 sites along Rock Creek. Situated in a mature lodge pole pine forest all the site have plenty of shade. All sites have picnic tables and metal fire rings. Site has a water hand pump and ADA vault toilet. Site 1 was interesting as you have to walk up an embankment to reach the site, which makes it not visible from the campground road. A bear proof locker is available for food storage. Being along Rock Creek gives those who wish to fish access to the blue ribbon stream with brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Cost is $6 per night. All the sites are nicely spread apart. The road to Dalles campground is not recommended for RVs of trailers as it get pretty bumpy after the pavement ends, this only get worse the further you travel down the road, but is doable if you drive very slow.
LegendHarry's Flat campground is a great campground along Rock Creek, set in a huge old growth ponderosa pine forest. The sites are large, especially the ones bordering right up to Rock Creek. The campground has 15 campsites each with Picnic tables and metal fire rings. The campground has vault toilets and a few bear lockers for food storage, water is available. Not all the campsites were available during my visit as about 1/2 the campground was closed due to damage during the heavy spring and early summer rains. This is a great spot for people interested in doing some fishing, as Rock Creek is a blue ribbon stream, with brown trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout. Cost is $6 per night, first come first served.
LegendThis has to be one of the most peaceful campgrounds I’ve even been to. It’s 10 miles off the main road so there is no street noise to speak of. But watch out for the cows as you drive in, they aren’t too fond of sharing the road. Only 8 sites with a host at one of them, you don’t have many neighbors. I was not able to camp here as it was totally full and according to the host, was going to stay that way for the week. He said it stays quiet except when a family with kids show up. He also said the fishing was pretty good in Copper Creek. The vault toilet was clean (his least favorite job), he will split a log or two if you ask real nice like, and there are two bear boxes for the 8 sites to share (he said most don’t bother to use them). The water pump delivers good clean spring water from the well. Every site has a picnic table and a fire ring. If you want solitude and quiet, this is the place to camp!
LegendLodgepole campground is a nice sized campground sitting in a forest of mature lodgepole pines. Campground has 31 sites, 20 of which can be reserved. Campground has nicely spaced campsites given you plenty of room to spread out. The campground is paved and has several clean outhouses. All sites have a picnic table and metal fire ring. Water is available. Bear lockers are located through out the campground for food storage. Campground is not on the lake, but plenty of lake access is nearby. While the campground is just off the highway, it is lightly traveled so noise was not a problem. Campground is nicely priced at $15 a night.
GuideIt is a very off the beaten path, tucked away in the woods, true getaway from the busy city life. Travel south on 278 from Wisdom, MT and take the chance on an 18 mile gravel road to find a place only you see in pictures and read about in magazines. Drive through open cattle ranges and find a beautiful campground nestled up to 2 small lakes connected by a shallow channel. Clear water to see the bottom where it's shallow enough. No motorized boats allowed, so bring your own kayak or canoe and a fishing pole or two to enjoy the refreshing waters at the bottom of the mountains. Even in July, you can see snow atop the mountains on the Montana-Idaho border.
LegendIf you like to fish, and/or boat the Stuart Mill Bay is just for you. This state fishing access site campground has you right on the lake shore or very close to lake for easy fishing and boating access. The campground has two boat launches, one for non motorized and one for motorized boats. The first seven campsites sit in an area with trees and is near the non motorized boat launch. The remainder of the campsites sit closer to the lake but are out in the open. Several sites have you right on the shore. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Numerous vault toilets are spread through out the campground. No water or trash service is available. Their are a few pull through sites. Prices for the campground vary depending if you have a fishing license and if you are a state resident or not. Lake was frozen on my visit so I was out of luck for any fishing.
LegendOnly 3 miles off the main drag, I’m not sure why more people weren’t camping here. While there are only about 8 sites only 2(including mine) were taken. Maybe it was the smoke from distant first fires. Anyway, great little campground! Right next to the creek, with another small branch cutting through the middle of the campground, the only thing I could hear was the water and later a fire spotter plane overhead. The vault toilet was super clean and serviced recently. Sites were of different sizes(the parking pad curbs had lengths listed on them), and of differing amounts of levelness. I had site 2 and had to go to a fairly low spot to find a level place to pitch my tent, not a problem during a drought, but it would have been wet if it had rained. Saw a doe and fawn on the way out in the morning.
GuideCamp sites are clean and well maintained with fire rings and picnic tables. Vault toilets are very clean, and water was available by pump. Lots of wildlife in the area and populated with very friendly Chipmunks!
