About
Moose Creek Campground is tucked into the mountains southwest of Helena in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, reached by traveling eight miles west on Highway 12 and turning south onto Rimini Road #695. The campground's nine sites sit along Moose Creek, which provides fishing opportunities. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table, and the campground has vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump. The area offers several nearby Forest Service amenities including Moose Creek Cabin (a historic 1907 rental cabin), a picnic area, and an environmental education trail. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is accessible within a short distance. A food storage order is in effect from March 1 through December 1 to prevent human-bear conflicts. All sites are first-come, first-served at $15 per night ($5 for additional vehicles), payable at the self-serve fee station with cash or check. Interagency Senior/Access Pass holders receive a 50% discount on the single campsite they occupy. Camping is limited to 16 consecutive days. The maximum trailer length is 20 feet, making the campground unsuitable for large RVs.
Directions
Travel west of Helena on Highway 12 for about 8 miles, then turn south on Rimini Road #695.
