About
Miner Lake Campground is a rustic Forest Service campground located in the Wisdom Ranger District of Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The 18 campsites are nestled in a lodgepole pine forest on flat terrain along the north shore of Miner Lake, a 54-acre mountain lake at approximately 7,000 feet elevation. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets and potable drinking water available from a hand pump. Each site has a picnic table. There is no garbage service, so campers must pack out all trash. A boat launch provides access to the lake for non-motorized boating. The area offers excellent fishing opportunities in Miner Lake, along with wildlife viewing, scenic day hikes, and horseback riding. The access road is gravel with some rutted sections, and the maximum recommended trailer length is 20 feet. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations.
