Pintler Campground

Pintler Lake Campground offers basic amenities with three designated camping spots. There are no water pumps or running water available at the site, so campers must bring their own water supply. Vault toilets are available for use. The campground is primitive, making it ideal for those seeking a more rustic camping experience. Additional unofficial camping spots have been noted near the river, which have been used by RVs. Remember to pack out all trash and come prepared with everything you'll need for your stay.

At Pintler Lake, visitors can enjoy fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching in a serene natural setting. The nearby river provides additional fishing opportunities. The peaceful surroundings make it ideal for nature photography and stargazing. While the area is relatively undeveloped, this creates a perfect environment for those seeking quiet reflection and immersion in Montana's beautiful wilderness. The lake itself is the centerpiece for recreation, though specific amenities for water activities are limited, so bring your own equipment if planning water-based activities.

Pintler Lake Campground is located approximately 10 miles off Highway 43 in Montana. Access requires traveling along a gravel road that can be quite rough with uncomfortable washboard conditions throughout much of the route. The road may be challenging for vehicles with low clearance or larger RVs. Plan for a slower drive and consider the road conditions when selecting what vehicle to bring. It's advisable to check current road conditions before departing, especially during or after inclement weather.
