Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Total rainfall amounts between 1 and 3 inches will be common across the watch area. Locally heavier totals over 4 inches are possible where thunderstorm activity is more persistent. - The Robertson Draw, East Side, Elk, and McGhee-Remington burn scars are particularly vulnerable to Flash Flooding and debris flows.

About
Falls Creek Campground is a primitive tent-only campground situated along the scenic Boulder River within the Yellowstone Ranger District of the Custer Gallatin National Forest. With just 8 campsites, this small campground offers a quiet, secluded camping experience for those seeking to escape the crowds. The campground sits at an elevation near 5,600 feet in the rugged terrain south of Big Timber, Montana. The campground operates year-round depending on weather conditions, though access becomes limited during fall and winter due to snow accumulation on the road. Potable water is available seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Campers must pack out all trash as there is no trash service provided. The campground does not accommodate RVs or trailers due to the lack of a turnaround for long vehicles. The surrounding area provides excellent opportunities for day hiking, stream fishing along the Boulder River, and wildlife viewing. The campground serves as a good base for exploring the Big Timber Canyon area and the backcountry of the Absaroka Range.
Directions
25 miles south of Big Timber on US 298, then 5 miles south on Main Boulder Rd (County Rd 212). No turnaround for long vehicles.
