One camper described Little Blackfoot River Dispersed Campsite as a "big roomy disperse campsite" with "a nice large flat right next to the creek with plenty of room for multiple tents." Walk-in tent locations like those at Fish Hawk Campground (now day use only) historically offered greater separation from vehicle traffic and enhanced lake views, though tent campers should verify current status before planning trips.
