Best Equestrian Camping near Lolo National Forest

This is definitely 1 of the top 5 in the area even as a usfs camp ground and price. Sites are well spaced, plenty of privacy and greenery, tons of nature, sound of a run off river coming down through the camp, there is a camp host on site as well as paved road and restrooms as well as water fountains. There is tons of trails for hiking, horse back and driving as well as tons of stream access only down fall is not really for fishing.

This is a National Forest campground about 25 miles from Missoula. The bathrooms are vaulted toilets and they were spacious and VERY clean. Our site was HUGE and so beautiful. Bass Creek was maybe 50 yards from the camper and is so clear! Fishing wouldn't be great at that location, as the creek is fairly shallow. The parking spot for the camper was super level asphalt, and plenty Ling enough for our 33.5' fifth wheel. Due to lower branches on the drive through the campground, we wouldn't recommend higher profile rigs. Ours sits at 13', and we felt that anything much taller than that might have clearance issues. There's a group spot for 12-20 people, as well as a spot for bicycle camping. There are some amazing trails for hiking, biking, and also horses. We really enjoyed this area!

This is one of my favorite spots in Montana. The lake itself is gorgeous, and the camping spots are beautiful. There's even one site on the island, if you brought a canoe or kayak, as we did! There's a short hike up to the waterfall and a longer hike to upper waterfalls. The water on the lake is crystal clear, and while motor boats are allowed, people appreciate the quiet a bit more. There are views in all directions, the camping is quiet, the sunsets are beautiful. There are mosquitoes, but they're not terrible, so bring some bug spray and you should be fine. As always, please practice LNT!

Lots of camp sites right on the river. Spaced out very nicely. You can hear some highway traffic and the train does com right up next to the river. Not too busy but we were there on a weekday.

I have camped @ Sloway for many years. The setting on the Clark Fork River is fantastic, especially for the 4-5 campsites that have river frontage. The I-90 highway runs fairly close to the campground & the noise can be distracting at times. The bigger noise maker is the train that runs on the other side of the Clark Fork River. There are two road crossings across from the campground, and the trains are required to blow their horns when approaching these crossings. This can be annoying when the railroad is running a lot of trains during the night. The campground is very clean & usually only crowded on the holidays.

Nice big campground some spots are on the water. Has firewood. Lots of trees. It was kind of loud with the train.

Lovely campground and host, right by the river. Super loud train horns every couple of hours (all night!) ruined it for us. Maybe outside summer when you don’t need your windows open?

We ended up not staying here. We didn't know there were trains running all night long. It wouldn't be so bad without the whistle. If only we had earplugs, I think that would have helped a lot. Also, I am downloading a white noise app on my phone. With the two, we most likely could/would have stayed.

The campground itself is just what we look for. Beautiful setting. Wooded for shade. Generous spacing Between sights. Water, in this case the Clark Forks River. Nice host and campers. Shopping (in case we need provisions) without driving far, in this case St. Regis. If we xome back through this was, we will come prepared and give it a try.

Good place overall. They close the 21st of September and had the water already shut off on the 20th, which kind of sucked. But other than that the campsite was great and not too far from interstate, so convenient for my roodtrip.

Picnic table and fire rings. Not much privacy and close to the road. A lot of relational activities in the area for fishing, rafting, boating, hiking and even. Hot springs within an hour drive

We’ve been camping at Sloway for years because I love hearing the trains all night long! If you don’t like train and highway noise, stay far away!

While my hubby flyfishes, I float on the Clark Fork. You can put in right from your campsite, the beach by the pullthru sites, Dry Creek or Superior, then float to your campsite/beach, St Regis, or 14 Mile/Ferry Landing.

Nice e Place right off 93, right on Clark’s Fork River, some Train Noise, but Picnic Table, Fire Pit and Restrooms

Easy little spot to set up for the night.

We tried to get a AirBnb in this area but it was crazy expensive.

We made an overnight reservation for this spot and it was great to get our precaming game going.

They were kinda expensive but it totally beat paying the local costs for lodging. And it’s a huge bonus to be outside and enjoying greasy air.

The grounds were very close to the highway and easy to access.

Great backcountry airstrip.  Easy to catch cutthroat and solitude.
