About
Aspen Campground is a small, quiet Forest Service campground located directly off Highway 89 in the Little Belt Mountains of Montana. The 6 campsites occupy a canyon carved out by Belt Creek, providing a scenic creekside setting at around 5,200 feet elevation in a lodgepole pine forest. The campground offers basic amenities including potable water from a hand pump during warmer months, at least one ADA-accessible vault toilet, and each site equipped with a fire ring or grill and picnic table. The largest site accommodates trailers up to 22 feet. Belt Creek offers excellent trout fishing with mandatory catch-and-release rules for cutthroat trout. The Belt Creek Ranger Station sits just north of the campground, with trails to the east connecting to an extensive trail system for hiking. A food storage order is in effect to prevent bear conflicts. Motorized OHVs must remain on the campground road, and horses are not permitted.
Directions
From Great Falls, go 50 miles south on US 89.
