About
North Dickey Lake Campground is located in northwestern Montana on a forested hillside overlooking the 800-acre Dickey Lake. Nestled among larch and fir trees at an elevation of 3,100 feet, the campground provides a secluded setting while remaining conveniently accessible from Highway 93, about 13 miles south of Eureka. The campground offers 23 sites for tent and RV camping, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided, though utility hookups are not available. Most sites accommodate vehicles up to 40 feet with back-in driveways. A general store with fuel and groceries is located about 3 miles north, and a small restaurant is 2 miles west. The adjacent lake provides excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, and water skiing. Anglers can pursue kokanee salmon, kamloop, and rainbow trout. Several hiking and mountain biking trails begin in the area, including the accessible half-mile Dickey Lake Overlook Trail leading to a viewing platform. The campground is 20 miles from the Canadian border and 65 miles from Glacier National Park.
