Quiet and close to Missoula

This is a pretty quiet fishing campground. In fact, if you have a fishing license it’s cheaper to stay here than if you don’t. The river/creek is pretty flat and low in mid July, but I guess there are fish as there were plenty of fishermen here. There is a boat launch for non motorized boats (kayaks, tubes, SUP), but the water seemed too low to me. Maybe this is a tributary that links up with the Bitterroot? 

There are a handful of sites along the water and the rest are up against small trees or a fence line. Some sites are really large and some are really small. But on a Monday/Tuesday it was pretty easy to get a spot before noon. Vault toilets were clean and well serviced, and every site has a picnic table and fire ring (not stated anywhere were fire restrictions even though the Lolo fires are less than 40 miles away).
