    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Camping opportunities near Norris, Montana range from established campgrounds to dispersed sites, with options for both tent campers and RV users. The region includes the popular Norris Hot Springs campground, which provides 13 sites with full hookups, and Revenue Flats, a rugged area featuring primitive campsites. Within a short drive, Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park offers developed campgrounds with cabin options and RV facilities. Several locations provide access to natural features like hot springs, fishing areas, and mountain views that characterize this part of southwestern Montana.

    Road conditions vary significantly across camping areas near Norris, with many requiring careful consideration before arrival. Revenue Flats campground requires traveling a rough gravel road with steep sections that may challenge some vehicles. "Rough road, big views. We drove an F450 with triple slide truck camper and made it ok. Also saw a 2-wheel drive 30-foot class C motorhome that made it but would not recommend anything larger," reported one visitor. Most campgrounds in the area are seasonal, with peak availability from May through September, though some locations like Bozeman Hot Springs Campground remain open year-round. Elevation changes bring cooler temperatures at night even during summer months, requiring appropriate gear for comfort.

    Campers consistently mention the spectacular night skies and mountain landscapes as highlights of the Norris area camping experience. The region's hot springs provide unique amenities not commonly found at typical campgrounds, with Norris Hot Springs offering soaking options for campers at reduced rates. Several visitors noted the convenience of having clean bathrooms and shower facilities at the developed campgrounds, which can be rare in more remote settings. Proximity to fishing on the Madison River represents another major draw for many visitors. Campground density varies widely, from the relatively close quarters at hot springs locations to the more spacious, primitive sites at Revenue Flats where privacy and natural surroundings are prioritized over amenities.

      Hyalite Canyon Dispersed - FS 1046

      Plenty of great spots, easy to find

      There are plenty of gravel pull off areas to park that are fair game as soon as you enter the national Forest. The spots may be filled up as you go, but it's a very long road and lots more parking is available right off the road if you need a quick stop for the night. I talked to a long term camper that shared his favorite spot on a dirt road just past the lake. Great van parking spots. Some road side pulloffs are good for truck and trailer also.

      Hyalite Canyon Dispersed

      What a view

      Hyalite Canyon was a lot busier than expected, but I found a nice pull off that afforded a couple of picturesque vistas. Awesome to wake up to.

      Bear Creek Campground

      Easy access

      This is an easy access campground off the Bear-tooth highway. Very nice Campsites in loop a and b, hosts did an outstanding job keeping things clean. Bathrooms A+, Negatives for me would be traffic in campground looking for sites etc, No direct access from camps for the lake to launch. Watercraft needs to be driven to put in. Highway noise was another negative. Lake was very pretty but very shallow. Fishing so so.

      Ennis RV Park by Starry Night Lodging

      Beautiful Mountain View

      This site is very well maintained. And the view of the mountains behind are stunning. I dont agree with having to pay extra to shower here after paying $80 to hook up at the location.

      There is a over priced restaurant nearby that you can walk to. But they prefer you to make a reservation.

      Chisholm Campground

      Fantastic Spot

      Oddly, this is my first time camping at Chisholm even though I’ve lived nearby for 25yrs. It is a tremendous campground. Small, quiet, laid back. My spot sat right above the creek and it was really marvelous. Only 1 bathroom for the entire spot. Very clean grounds except the bathroom was pretty nasty with flies.

      Four Corners Eastern Camp

      BLM Dispersed 16 Day Limit

      It 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.

      Red Cliff Campground

      Next to the Gallatin River

      Very beautiful campground! No mosquitoes that we have seen, plenty of flies to annoy us. Just put the screened sides on the popup and it was fine. Hwy noise can be loud at times since it is right next to the highway. The Gallatin river is beautiful. Would have like to have seen a bear wander through camp.
