About
Lantis Spring Campground sits in the Long Pines Unit of the Custer Gallatin National Forest, about 5 miles north of Tie Creek Road in southeastern Montana near Camp Crook, South Dakota. This free primitive campground provides a quiet base for exploring the ponderosa pine forests and rugged terrain of the Long Pines. The campground offers a handful of standard campsites plus day-use picnic areas. Facilities are minimal: vault toilets (one ADA-accessible) and 50-foot parking spurs for RVs or trailers. There is no potable water on site; campers must bring their own supply or filter water from nearby sources. No trash service is provided, so plan to pack out everything. This is a true first-come, first-served campground with no reservation system and no fees. The 16-day stay limit allows extended visits for those seeking solitude in this remote corner of Montana.
