About
Diamond Lake Campground is a small, primitive Forest Service campground located in the Superior Ranger District of Lolo National Forest in western Montana's Mineral County. Situated at an elevation of 6,399 feet near Diamond Lake, this quiet campground offers just 4 tent camping sites in a forested mountain setting, making it an ideal destination for campers seeking solitude and a true backcountry experience. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis during its seasonal opening from June through September. As a primitive facility, it offers basic amenities including vault toilets, but no water, electricity, or RV hookups. The remote location and limited capacity ensure a peaceful atmosphere away from crowds. The area provides access to hiking trails, including routes to Diamond Lake and Cliff Lake, and opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and exploring the rugged terrain of the Bitterroot Range. Campers should come prepared with all necessary supplies, including drinking water, as services are minimal. The campground is accessed via forest roads from Superior, Montana. The high elevation and mountain location mean that weather can be variable, and snow may linger into early summer or arrive in early fall. This rustic campground appeals to experienced campers who appreciate simplicity and natural surroundings.
Directions
From Superior, Montana, travel west on the south side frontage road (Road 69) along Interstate 90. Follow forest roads west and south to reach Diamond Lake. The campground is located near the lake in a remote mountain setting. Contact the Superior Ranger District for detailed road directions and current conditions.
