Best Equestrian Camping near Three Forks, MT

We were looking for a campground near Bozeman and a friend recommended Hyalite Canyon. We lucked out finding Langohr! Wonderful and secluded camping spots, and we found one right by a river. This was probably the best campsite of our week-long Montana camping excursion.

An absolutely stunning area to camp. A relatively challenging nine-mile-hike in from the Spanish Creek campground. Turn left at the trail map and follow the well marked signs. You’ll have stunning views of the mountains, rivers, and pines on your hike in. A few other places to camp on the way in. You’ll cross a couple rivers—so be prepared to take off those boots. Once arriving at the top; you’ll find a stunning array of crystal lakes, snow melts, and glistening cliffs. We camped on top of a large cliff system across the first lake. As you hike in, there are multiple little lakes to camp and fish around. The highest lake (about 100 meters past the first) is indescribably breathtaking. Surrounded by massive mountains, a rolling stream, and a little dead forest accompanied by a campsite and fire ring—AH! I felt like I was in a simulation. Apparently you can summit the nearby mountains and reached a higher lake called Beehive. My friends went and said they enjoyed it. Tons of fishing in all of the lakes. Diverse wildflowers. Tons of bugs. But all great fun! Will certainly return when I go back to Montana.

We stayed at Lake Shore Lodge Campground while visiting my parents in Ennis.

The campground is situated right on the northern shore of Ennis Lake and has a boat launch ramp for those looking to fish.

We stayed three nights at the beginning of July. Our site had water, sewer, and 30amp service. We were able to fit our 39ft toy hauler in with almost no issues.

The campground is very peaceful and appears to have a lot of seasonal residents.

Wood and ice are available from the front desk. Bath houses and laundry are also available on site.

Cute, clean cabin. Sleeps four, a bunk bed and two more beds in a loft. Creek was running in winter, can hear it at night with the window open a crack. 4 mile ski in from the gate with some gentle up and down grades, traveling on an unplowed road. Easy to find. Comfortable and beautiful scenery, hiking trails near by.

Plenty of dispersed drive in camping sites at the Spanish Creeks Trailhead. Many lots, solid roads, picnic tables, fire rings, and clean facilities. Great signage nestled behind the trees at the start of the trail. Water and a nice bathroom available. A cute little creek nestled along the side of the campground—making for good morning music. Stunning mountain views from the campsites. Head down the canyon trail a little bit to view some stunning meadows. All around a great spot if you’re looking to hit the trails early the next day!

Stayed here with my sister one night before we hiked up to Spanish Lakes! Follow a long gravel road to the picnic area. Tons of pic nic tables and spots to set up. Creek not too far away for purifying water. There’s a very clean restroom and two different trail heads. We just camped by our car and packed up in the morning and hiked. Very basic all ya need here folks! Pretty views as well

I had a bison run after my car on the way in...that was exciting! 😆 The road in had breathtaking scenery. The campsites were easily accessible near the trailheads. It was extremely quiet and peaceful the whole time I was there.

This place seems to be nicer than nearby campsites, but stinky toilets with no toilet paper, outdoor shower with cold water for $54 for a small camper was quite disappointing. Trains and highway noises are extremely loud as others mentioned

The hosts were very friendly and passionate about the up keep of their land. They were very flexible with check in and check out times and are pet friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we visit the Bozeman area.

Ended up here on a winter site that had electric but no water or bathroom facilities (I knew this).  Site was plowed and I had plenty of room for my pickup with GFC camper to fit.  Site was easy to find and despite all the snow was plowed for me.  There are only two site that are available before April 1 so this was a convenient place to stay right near Bozeman for a night. Cost about $50.  Could have stayed in a Walmart, but prefer to only put the rooftop tent up in proper campsites so this worked out well for me.

Not bad but better option if you continue up to the lake.

This is a fun campground, albeit a little difficult to find a spot unless you reserve one ahead of time. This campground offers large sites (some are pull in and others are pull through), water sources, pit toilets, hiking access, electrical hookups, fire pits, tables, and some nice views. Depending on which site you get you can camp on a hillside above the river or right next to the river. The Hyalite reservoir area offers many opportunities to have fun. Some of the noteworthy hikes in the area are Hyalite Trail and Emerald Lake Trail (these are both part of the trail share program so watch out for bikes on certain days). If you desire getting out on the water Hyalite Reservoir is a perfect place to float or paddle. There are also some trails that leave directly from the northern end of the campground. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay.

We camped here for one night in May. The road is easily accessible. All of the river sites were taken. Our campsite was along the hillside. there are pit toilets and picnic tables. A thunderstorm rolled through the canyon the night that we were there. fortunately we stayed dry inside of our tent. This is a beautiful area and I would love to return to explore the canyon further.

This campground is very nice, next to Langohr Creek. Kids play in creek and build rock dams. Nice walk around campground. Camp host was very cool. Mountain wildflowers abundant! Got to camp next to Alpen Girls outdoor youth camp, which was cool to see youngsters learning outdoors skills.

I stayed here on a 3 day weekend camping trip to just get away. It was amazing. Most sites are by the creek even though the website says different. We took site number 5 and I was extremely happy with it. it was peaceful and close to all the major hikes and waterfalls! The campground host was amazing! He brought us firewood and kept up to make sure every thing was okay!

Camping on a Thursday in Sept. many sites available. Picnic table, fire ring and the peaceful sound of the creek flowing by!!! Sounds like weekends this place fills up with reservations. Some water. Firewood at camp host until the 25th.

This place is indescribable. To get there you drive into the Spanish Creek Picnic area. Then you follow the trails on the map to Spanish Lakes. The trails are pretty well marked. It’s about 9.5 miles in and up. The first 4.5 miles are super chill and flat. You’ll cruise through those. You cross over some beautiful bridges over roaring streams. Couple streams didn’t have bridges so we had to lose our boots for those crossings. Then there is a gradual uphill and the last 2 miles are pretty brutal. Eventually, you reach the first lake and you’re like WHAAATT and your jaw is dropping. Mt. Blaze is up to your left and all around are other stunning peaks. The lake is crystal clear and cold. Tons of west slope cutthroat trout that get flown in. There is a ~ 40 ft cliff you can jump off of into the super deep water. We camped just above that spot at a fire ring overlooking the lake. But if you go up to the second and third lakes there are even better spots. Truly a magical place. Definitely make it worth it and stay at least two nights if the weather is good!

Lake Michigan Anna Abor 🙌 so you are a beautiful 😍 Holidays

I visited this lake last week. I love it and slope game. The water is pristine and visually appealing with no obstructions like stumps or logs, as mentioned earlier. The lake underwent complete drainage and dredging. It has been populated with eight different types of fish. I recently reeled in two bass weighing 2-3 pounds each. My wife has successfully caught numerous quality channel catfish. This lake is quite lovely. However, the landing area is shallow, restricting the launch of large bass boats.

This is s hike in only spot but totally worth it! The cabin is great and lots of room outside to set up tents. Has firewood and an out house. The lake it beautiful and lots of wild life!

Nice camp ground. It’s primitive , has a couple fire pits. Pack it in pack it out! Quit except the highway is just up and over the river. Free
