"Fun note: There is a self serve car was just outside the entrance that has a bay for RVs. We don't see that often. The not as good is the train and some road noise, but in this area, most CG do."
"Close to town and 10 miles away from a great hiking trail too. Would come back."
"We were fortunate to snag a spot next to the river. During the day it was hot, but cooled off nicely when the sun dropped behind the mountains. Libby is not too far away."
"While we weren't next to the river, we were right next to Dunn Creek. At this time of year the creek is dry but I can imagine it's lovely in the spring when the snow melts."
$10 / night
"This city owned gem is right off Hwy 2, just on the edge of Libby MT. This semi primitive campground for tents and RVs only has 15 first come first serve sites."
"The negatives are that it is close to Hwy 2, so road noise came be aggravating for some. There are no other amenities like pool, playground, store, etc. The town itself is great. Walkable."
"I also found Libby Dam, we sat on the tailgate eating lunch and watched eagles soaring and fishing on the bottom side of the dam."
"We wanted a quiet campground with access to the Kootenay River in which they had both. So one of the owners let us check out the sites and trail to the river."
$16 - $200 / night
"Water and vault toilets and garbage bins scattered throughout so each site is close to one. $16 for one vehicle and $5 for an additional. The highlight is the view of the lake."
"Great campground wooded easy walking to boat launch and swimming. Quiet. We would go back. The lake was low for swimming in the swimming area."
$16 - $60 / night
"Stopped by on my way through Montana in May."
"Very cute campground, quiet, no service, right along the beautiful Yaak River and within walking distance to Yaak Falls."
"Blackwell Flats is one of 4 free, first come campgrounds in the Libby Dam coriander. It is manged by the US Army Corp of Engineers."
GuideThis is a nice campground. The sites are spacious and clean. The only drawback is the traffic on the road throughout the day.
ScoutI stayed here 3 nights., early June. All the spaces have wide back in or pull through driveways, beautiful one, fir forest. Sites are mostly shaded, but not always. i.e. check spot for solar power. Very well kept, clean vault toilets. No hookups. Nearest dump station at Shoshone camp, downstream a ways. It's a NF station, $8 fee, credit cards accepted, also neat and clean. Only one pump it yourself drinking water spigot at the campground. Great fishing steps away, but catch the catch and release west slope cutthroat aren't so easy to catch as a recent article in American Fly Fishing magazine suggests-unless you are a professional fly fishing expert and writer, maybe. Go on a weekday.
TravelerThis little campground was super easy to get to. The sites easy to access and the toilet is vey close and clean. There is a train track in the background but the trains are very short. They don’t bother me because I love trains. There is a boat ramp and trail head within walking distance. There is a little bit of traffic and that’s just the boaters. There is a lot of wildlife (eagles, moose mountain lion, beaver, chipmunk). Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. You can stay up to 16 days here. There is a beautiful campsite for backpackers/bicyclists. I believe there are 5 sites for campers with vehicles and you park directly next to your site. There are a lot of mosquitoes at dusk and dawn this time of year.
TravelerTrain honks at a crossing. Didn’t notice it at night as much as morning and evening. Nice spots. Shared water needs a long hose. No tents on grass.
GuideA few sites available along this road. Lots of washboard/rutted sections on the road and some steep areas getting to certain campsites. On the river and very peaceful. Remember to leave not trace and pack out your trash!
RangerThe site is overgrown. Trees were cleared several years ago and the bush has grown in. Sites are well spaced. This sites are paved. Some of them have direct access to the river. Each has a picnic table, barbecue, and fire pit. Most sites are reserved. Three sites are first come first serve. The pit toilets have old wooden enclosures but are well maintained and fully functional.
RangerBeautiful! Quiet River sign meadow. Approximately room for four camper setups. Couple of fire rings. Beautiful mountain side. Have to ford Creek to access. Just one party there on memorial weekend. All the campsites on the way up here were very crowded.
TravelerTwo night stay for me. In the middle of May and all it did was rain with highs in the mid 50s. No fault of the campground of course.
At this time there were no camp hosts nor other campers either. Felt weird and eerie having it all to myself but quiet and peaceful. There are no dumpsters but there are vault toilets, which were clean. The fee to stay is $15 a night when there are camp hosts there. On one side of the campground there is a pretty sizable river. Moyie River. Even though the weather was crappy, I’d definitely go again.
ScoutIt's near the Idaho and Montana border. I found plenty of time to just chill while looking for a more long term spot. I did laundry at the lakeside laundry mat for less than $5 got some honey and chocolate at the gift shop, some fresh produce and essentials at the Sinclair station, and enjoyed nearby recreation spots for the scenery. The motel is too rich for me. If you are in transit and looking to recharge, there's plenty of affordable and free resources. If you are looking to stay to yourself you'll be alright, if your social, people are pretty friendly, just don't hang around public spaces after 7 if you don't like rowdy noises.
