Worth every mile
Approximately 8 miles from the Holland Lake trailhead is the Upper Holland Lake Campround. Considered a backcountry campsite there is very (and I mean very) little traffic through this breathtaking spot. And for good reason. The hike up is strenuous to say the least. The campground itself is nearly perfect. A large meadow peppered with trees skirting the north shore of Upper Holland there's ample space for multiple campers, though there were no others while we were there. This space has been frequented by forest service workers so there are tie ups for horses and even an outhouse of sorts. It's nothing more than a hole with a toilet on top tucked in a tiny A frame with no door but hey after a few days of peeing in the woods it's darn near luxurious. Fire rings are set up close to the lake leaving plenty of space between your tent and cooking space. Trees perfect for slinging up your grub are ample as well. There are several day hikes nearby and a small waterfall to filter water from. The lake itself is full of rainbow trout so don't forget your lightweight rod. The only thing that keeps this spot from being the best place we've pitched a tent are the bugs. At times you think they may very well just pick you up and fly you off to their queen. All in all we would absolutely come back for a few more nights of solitude in one of Montanas most beautiful far off spots.
