About
Lindbergh Lake Campground is situated in the Flathead National Forest along the shores of scenic Lindbergh Lake in Montana's Swan Valley. The campground features 25 designated campsites equipped with fire rings, picnic tables, and bear-proof food storage boxes. This wheelchair-accessible facility operates on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the season and is managed by Big Sky Recreation Company. The campground offers vault toilets but no drinking water, so visitors must bring their own water supply. The pack-in, pack-out policy means campers are responsible for removing all trash. The maximum recommended trailer length is 20 feet, and quiet hours are enforced from 6:00 PM to 10:00 AM. A 16-day stay limit applies, and strict food storage requirements are in place due to bear activity in the area. Lindbergh Lake provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating, with a boat ramp located within the campground. A hiking trail from the campground leads partway around the west side of the lake. The campground is accessed via Forest Service Road 79 off Highway 83, approximately 3.6 miles from the highway turnoff.
Directions
From Highway 83, turn west onto Lindbergh Lake Road (Forest Service Road 79) and follow for 3 miles. Bear right following signs for Road 79 and Lindbergh Lake Campground. After an additional 0.6 miles, continue straight following signs for the campground.
