About
Ekalaka Park Campground is a free, primitive campground located in the Ekalaka Hills Unit of Custer Gallatin National Forest, managed by the Sioux Ranger District. The campground offers 7 campsites plus two day-use picnic areas, situated in scenic Ponderosa pine savanna with dramatic cliff drop-offs providing sweeping views over the surrounding Montana prairie. This is a rustic, pack-it-in pack-it-out experience. The campground has an accessible vault toilet but no potable water, trash service, or firewood. A non-potable spring is located nearby. Small trailers are permitted with open parking available, but larger RVs should seek alternatives. The campground operates on a first-come first-served basis with no reservations accepted. There are no fees to camp, and stays are limited to 16 days. Access is via Forest Road 3813 (Stagville Road) approximately 8 miles from Ekalaka.
