About
Rombo Campground is located in a scenic area along the West Fork Bitterroot River in southwestern Montana's Bitterroot National Forest. The campground offers 16 sites for tent and RV camping, four of which are accessible, with each site accommodating up to 10 people and two vehicles. Large yellow-barked ponderosa pine trees tower above many campsites, along with fir, aspen, and lodgepole pine providing pleasant shade at an elevation of 4,600 feet. The West Fork Bitterroot River is popular for fly fishing and wading, with seasonal kayaking and rafting during high water. Painted Rocks Lake, just five miles south, offers swimming, boating, and fishing for mountain whitefish and trout. The area features numerous trails and unimproved roads for hiking, biking, and off-road vehicle exploration. Wildlife is abundant, including bald eagles, mule and white-tailed deer, moose, elk, bighorn sheep, and songbirds. The historic Alta Ranger Station, the first Forest Service Ranger Station in the United States built in 1899, is a short distance from the campground. There is no cell phone coverage at the campground. Food storage requirements are in effect from March 1 to December 1 annually due to bear activity. Darby, a full-service community 24 miles away, provides fuel, lodging, and supplies.
Directions
