"The layout is pretty condensed so I was quite close to my neighbor. Campground was quiet, some road noise outside. An excellent option to break up a drive on I-90."
"The playgrounds are fun for the kiddos and the river walk is super close. There is lots of shade available from the trees, but our site was full sun."
"Deer lodge has some great museums and Anne tours. The old prison and associated mushrooms are a must stop. Check out the ghost town! Indian Creek campground is right off I-90."
"Right off I90 at Deer Lodge. Sites are close together, all are FHU. Each site has a small grassy area and a nice newer picnic table."
"The campground is tucked between two imposing rock walls that deliver wonderful sunset and sunrise scenery."
"This campground is well maintained and tucked away between beautiful rock formations, a rushing creek, and aspens."
"It's Montana, so bearproofing is necessary. 3 out of 10 sites were occupied mid-week in August."

"Nice location for an overnight rest spot. We had a tent site, close to the road, but traffic wasn’t bad after dark. Site was grassy. No fires allowed for obvious reasons."
"Sites are close to each other. There were no picnic tables and wood fires are not allowed so no fire rings."
"Up a forest service road, so four-wheel-drive came in handy. A bit muddy. There are a variety of sites available, some are easier to access than others."
ScoutBeautiful views here along the Clark Fork River with lots of things to do in the nearby area including visiting the Garnet Ghost town, Philipsburg, Deer Lodge, Anaconda, Butte and Missoula.
LegendDeer lodge has some great museums and Anne tours. The old prison and associated mushrooms are a must stop. Check out the ghost town! Indian Creek campground is right off I-90. Is safe, clean and well taken care of. Full hookups and super easy access with a town full of fun! Chinese food across the street was yummy too
LegendRight off I90 at Deer Lodge. Sites are close together, all are FHU. Each site has a small grassy area and a nice newer picnic table. Bath house is nice and there are ADA toilets and shower with fold down bench- it is nice and clean. HOWEVER! If you are in a wheelchair it will be very difficult to access the bath house or laundry facilities as there is no ramp to get you over the concrete platform the building is on, and there is a 2-4 inch lip from the gravel drive to the walkway around the bath house There is some noise from the highway. It is fine for an overnight stay.
ScoutWe enjoyed an incredible weekend at this campground. Nice clean restrooms, spacious sites, and they even pick up your trash every morning. Great dog park. The owners are very helpful and friendly . We definitely will be back.
ScoutNice place, quite and inviting. Walking distance to all the amenities of town. This park has a pit toilet and flush toilets, also showers, potable water and garbage service. Huge spots with lots of space. Pull through spots perfect for RV or tent camping. Sites available with or without hookups. Playground for kids and it's pet friendly! We love this park.
TravelerWow this was a very unique camping experience up in the boulders. Had a lot of fun walking my dogs and cat up in there. (Yes my cat goes camping too). There was no water pumps on the campground, however there is a nice little creek running through that one could get water. Also there were vault toilets and the one we used was closer to the entrance of the campground. It was clean, however the door didn't lock. Really wish we didn't go on a holiday weekend as it sounded like a dirt bike ho-down and wasn't very relaxing. We will try again during the week or a non holiday weekend. The stars were gorgeous, and the bird watching was phenomenal. At least when there weren't dirt bikes.
TravelerReserved through Recreation.gov — easy process, well worth it. Easy to find, just know your loop — A or B matters. Sites are flat, paved, well spaced, and the outhouses were shockingly clean. Water pump nearby. Full 5G. Basically glamping at this point. Georgetown Lake is right there. Mountain views everywhere you look. One of the prettiest campgrounds in Montana, full stop. Fire rings are solid. Spacing is generous enough that I barely registered my neighbors — something about a toddler being enthusiastically towed around camp by Bo, a yellow lab operating completely outside the chain of command. Barely noticed. Bring sunscreen. The wind is relentless and you won't feel yourself turning into a strip of beef jerky until it's too late. Think twice before deploying your awning unless you've always wanted to track its flight path toward North Dakota. The campground hosts a thriving colony of what appear to be prairie dogs. They chirp. Constantly. You get used to it. Probably. Mosquitoes are rumored to exist here at sunset. The wind refused to let us confirm this. Bring repellant anyway — the wind takes days off occasionally. Exceptional spot. Would return without hesitation.
TravelerWe camped here for 1 night in a tent, and it was amazing! The views at sunrise and sunset were beautiful. The spot seems like its in a good spot for weather, too, because we were watching storms in the distance and they kept clearing up before they got to us! The site is completely surrounded by water- there are two areas, one on the water where all the RV's were, and one up top, seperated by trees. The site is pay when you get there , it was $18 for one night (cash only), though it costs less if you have a Montana fishing license. There were lots of yellow headed black birds jumping around the campsite and waterfowl on the water (which was very clear). We saw lots of fish jumping out of the water as well! The lake was a nice warm temperature, and there are cows right by the entrance! It is a 3 mile off-road drive to get there, which our Civic took it just fine. It was absolutelt gorgeous and everything we'd hoped for. I had cell service with Xfinity. There are multiple restrooms well stocked with tp, although no water pump. Each site had a table and fire pit.
GuideIt was easy in and easy out with a little bit of wash boarding to get there, but nothing too serious. This is labeled as The Trailer Park on Google maps. This place is great for dirt bikes and off highway vehicles. It’s rideable with a mountain bike and there are some good trails but it’s ideal for e-bikes and dirt bikes. It is noisy in that regard but no big deal. Lots of places to camp here. It’s OK when it rains as the ground is rocky and Sandy. This is close proximity to the Ringing Rocks and to Homestake Lake, which is a great place to take a swim or paddleboard. It’s about 25 minutes to Butte Montana. There are no toilets close by and there is no trash collection so you’ll have to pack in and pack out. You can stay here for 16 days. It’s got great views of the mountains. There are quite a bit of flies and the locusts buzz all day, which may bother some people.
