About
Pete Creek Campground sits in the heart of Montana's Yaak River country, one of the most remote and wild regions in the lower 48 states. Located on the Three Rivers Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest, this 13-site campground provides a quiet base for exploring an area known for its grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and diverse bird populations. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. Roads and parking spurs are gravel. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own water supply. The Yaak River is accessible from the campground, offering fishing for native cutthroat as well as rainbow, brook, and bull trout. Services including laundry, ice, gas, groceries, dump station, and showers are located in Troy, approximately 36 miles southeast. The campground is one of five developed campgrounds in the Yaak area, along with Yaak Falls, Red Top, Whitetail, and Caribou campgrounds.
