It’s a spot to pull up and sleep for the night

Standard

first dispersed camping spot for Lolo from the entry road for this Forest Service land entry. Just cross the bridge, and be careful of high water (signs stating it's impassable 100 yards past the photo of the bridge when high water.) The grey area is public land the white square at the end of the road is private property by the map legend.

Not a camping spot.

We camp d down the road at Eckstrom’s but I walked down to check out the free spot, having chafed at spending $53 for no water/no electric. In a word, I was wrong to have pushed for heading to Rock Crerk— we would have felt really uncomfortable crossing even the first bridge, which had a bit out of it’s concrete edge, as though it had been hit by an elephant-sized tumbling boulder. On the upside, locals I ran into there love the fly-fishing at this site. If you have a passenger car, it’s passable— if you don’t mind rolling the dice.

Decrepit bridges, gorgeous

Not for low clearance vehicles, it’s not far off the highway but we struggled with the two narrow bridges with tight turns in our travel trailer and then there’s a large flood way dip in the road that you can bottom out on. Unsure if this was legal camping as there are no defined spots and limited pull offs. Felt like I was looking over my shoulder for a ranger. Most everything is exposed to direct sunlight so it gets HOT in the summer. Our AC did not even budge the temps sometimes. Good fishing access and a cool area to visit. We overnighted here a couple nights before going to ekstrom which is before this place when getting off the highway and has power and water for a recharge day.
