Located near the Bitterroot River and surrounded by walking and hiking trails, this small campground offers about a dozen sites that can be reserved in advance. The campground is well kept and quiet, and offers stunning views of the Bitterroots. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked with toilet paper and soap, and the hosts even provide poop bags for dogs. There are plenty of activities to do, including fishing in the surrounding creeks, running side by sides up and down the mountain roads, and soaking in the mineral pool of Horse Creek Hot Springs. The camp hosts are very knowledgeable and accommodating, and are always willing to help out campers who forget things.
