Beaverdam Campground

About

Beaverdam Campground and Picnic Area occupies a scenic spot along Divide Creek in the Fleecer Mountain Range of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. Located approximately 17 miles south of Butte and accessible via a gravel road suitable for passenger vehicles, the campground offers 15 units spread through a forested setting. Five pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs, while the remaining back-in sites work well for smaller setups. Most sites include tent pads, and firewood can typically be gathered within the campground area. The location along Divide Creek provides fishing opportunities, and the campground serves as a launching point for motorized recreation including access to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and various loop trails. Amenities include vault toilets and seasonal potable water from a hand pump. A 16-day stay limit applies, and food storage requirements are mandatory due to wildlife activity in the area. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis and is not reservable through Recreation.gov. The access road via Forest Service Road 96 from Feeley exit on I-15 can be muddy or have patchy snow during spring and fall shoulder seasons.
