About

Missoula Lake Campground is a semi-remote developed campground operated by the Lolo National Forest's Superior Ranger District. Located approximately 19 miles southwest of Superior, Montana along Forest Road 320, the campground sits at 6,058 feet elevation near the Idaho border in the Cedar Creek drainage. The site provides access to Missoula Lake, a moderately sized 11.4-acre glacial cirque lake. The campground serves as a base for exploring the surrounding Lolo National Forest backcountry. The State Line Trail system can be accessed nearby, with the State Line Trailhead located about a mile beyond the campground turnoff. The remote setting and elevation make this a destination for campers seeking a more primitive experience in western Montana's mountains. Due to its elevation and remote location, the campground operates seasonally and is typically closed during winter months when snow makes Forest Road 320 impassable. The campground features basic amenities including an outhouse.
