Best Campgrounds near De Borgia, MT

386 Reviews

Dispersed camping and established campgrounds dot the landscape around De Borgia, Montana, with options ranging from primitive forest sites to full-service RV parks. The Lolo National Forest provides several camping areas, including Cabin City Campground, which offers tent and RV sites in a forested setting about 5 minutes from the highway. Other options include the 50,000 Silver Dollar Campground and the 2 Mile Turn Off Dispersed Camp, providing free camping with varying levels of amenities and accessibility.

Road conditions and seasonal availability affect camping access throughout the region. Many forest service roads require high-clearance vehicles, particularly when accessing dispersed sites. "I was surprised how nice this was since it's just about 5 minutes from the highway. You feel miles away - absolutely no noise. It's super clean and pretty," noted one visitor about Cabin City Campground. Summer and early fall offer the most reliable camping conditions, with many campgrounds operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Winter access becomes limited due to snow, especially at higher elevations. Cell service is spotty throughout the area, so travelers should plan accordingly.

Campers consistently mention the peaceful settings and natural beauty available near De Borgia. The 2 Mile Turn Off Dispersed Camp provides easy creek access with fire pits, though highway noise is audible. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "Cross the bridge at the exit and there is a wide turn around. I'd pull my teardrop down here, but unsure about longer trailers." Cabin City Campground receives positive reviews for its clean facilities, nature walk, and historical self-guided tour highlighting the area's logging and mining past. For those seeking more amenities, the Nugget RV Resort offers full hookups, showers, and cabin accommodations. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound throughout the region, with visitors reporting sightings of deer, moose, and various bird species.

    Quartz Flats Campground

    Pretty good

    It’s kinda noisy from the highway and the train tracks. But other than that good

    Crystal Gold Mine

    Ok, let’s try it

    We booked this campground as a stop on our way through and to the northwest. You can’t beat access from I-90. It’s so close you will listen to traffic your whole stay. That does not bother us at night, but kind of spoils the peaceful day. The spaces are big and open. There seem to be a lot of long timers but that’s fine. No laundry or bathhouse. Would probably pass next time and keep going to Cour d’alane to find a something a little nicer as a vacation spot. But if you need a place to stay for a night or two this will work ok. Very accessible. Young man at check-in very friendly. If you need to stop for the night and want FHU instead of a state park or rec area this place works.

    Dispersed Site - Lolo National Forest Recreation Area

    Amazing By the River

    Arrived very late in the dark on Friday night coming back from Canada, and found an amazing site next to the river which drowned out all surrounding noise. Beautiful and forested with privacy and plenty of space to setup 5 tents. Didn’t have any issues with bugs or mosquitos despite being by the river in August.

    Bumblebee Campground

    Not much to praise

    Coeur d’Alene River Road has SO many places to boondocks and camp, I wouldn’t waste our money on this campground again. The pit toilets were clean and the fire rings and picnic tables were in good shape, hence the two stars. Lots of wasps. No water. Nothing to do within walking distance. Find a boondock spot and save the $28.00

    Tin Can Flat Campground

    Cute spot!

    Came in on a Thursday and it was totally packed! Came back early Friday morning and snagged the last available spot. Nice little path down to the river. Right next to the road so it can be a little noisy. Nice spot to drive up and down for fishing
