About
Camp 32 is a primitive, no-fee campground situated at 2,755 feet elevation in Kootenai National Forest, approximately 15 miles southwest of Eureka, Montana. The campground provides 8 sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water available from a hand pump. A large open field adds to the camping area. Sites can accommodate RVs up to 20 feet in length. The campground occupies the historic site of a 1924 logging camp established by the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company on land acquired from early homesteader Margaret Durall. The original camp operated for approximately two years and included outbuildings, a company store, and several small cabins. River and stream fishing opportunities are available in the area. Camp 32 operates on a first-come-first-served basis with no reservations required. The campground is a pack-in/pack-out facility, so visitors must take all trash with them. A 14-day stay limit applies. Dump facilities, laundry, gas, ice, and stores are available in Trout Creek, with additional dump facilities at Rexford Bench Campground.
