About
Loon Lake Campground is a quiet, primitive campground nestled at 3,624 feet elevation in the Kootenai National Forest, approximately 20 miles northwest of Libby, Montana. The campground sits on the shore of Loon Lake and offers undeveloped access for small boats, making it a good base for fishing and paddling. The campground has 4 sites, two of which include tent pads. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. A vault toilet is available, but there is no potable water, trash service, or hookups. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The gravel roads and parking spurs can accommodate RVs up to 20 feet in length. This is a free, first-come, first-served campground with no reservations. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash. A 14-day stay limit applies on all National Forest System lands.
