About
Martin Creek Campground is located 17 miles up the East Fork Road from Sula, Montana, at the confluence of Moose and Martin creeks. This quiet, tucked-away campground sits at 5,300 feet elevation and offers 7 campsites surrounded by forested terrain with mountain views. The campground can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 50 feet in length. Martin Creek originates near the Sapphire-Rock Creek Divide south of Lake Abundance and flows southeast for 11.5 miles before emptying into Moose Creek just below the campground. The stream averages 16 feet wide and 3 inches deep, with fair fishing opportunities. Bears frequent the area, and a food storage order is in effect from March 1 through December 1. The campground provides close access to Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness trailheads at the east end of Forest Roads 5771 and 724. Peak season runs from mid-May through October, though the campground remains open year-round until closed by snow. All sites are first-come, first-served with a 16-day stay limit and $12 per night fee.
