About
Flint Creek Campground is a small, rustic campground located in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest of southwest Montana, approximately eight miles south of Philipsburg and four miles north of Georgetown Lake. The campground features 10 first-come, first-served campsites situated among mixed conifers along the banks of Flint Creek, offering a peaceful setting with opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing, including occasional moose sightings. The campground is maintained year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, with vault toilets available. Campers must bring their own water as potable water is not provided on-site. There is no garbage service, so visitors must pack out all trash. The maximum recommended trailer length is 22 feet, and stays are limited to 16 days. Flint Creek Campground provides excellent access to recreation opportunities throughout the Pintler Ranger District. Georgetown Lake, a 10-minute drive away, offers fishing, boating, and water sports with views of the Pintler Range. Numerous trails within a 35-minute drive lead into the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, which covers nearly 250 square miles along the Continental Divide. Popular nearby trails include the Echo Lake trail system, Storm Lake Trail, and Twin Lakes Trail. The area is home to diverse wildlife including elk, moose, deer, mountain lions, and both grizzly and black bears.
Directions
From Philipsburg, travel south on Highway 1 for 7.7 miles, then turn left onto Power House Road into the campground.
