About
S Rock Camp is a designated dispersed camping site located in the Hyalite Recreation Area of Custer Gallatin National Forest, within the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area. This remote site sits in the rugged Gallatin Range approximately 17 miles south of Bozeman, Montana. The Hyalite Canyon area is a popular recreation corridor offering abundant outdoor opportunities including hiking, fishing, and access to wilderness trails. As a designated dispersed site, camping is only permitted at signed locations marked with a tent symbol. The area is managed with specific regulations to protect the Hyalite drainage, which serves as a primary contributor to Bozeman's water system. Campfires must be completely contained in permanent metal fire rings at established campsites. The Wilderness Study Area, designated by the Montana Wilderness Study Act of 1977, is managed to maintain its wilderness character while allowing uses that existed in 1977. The surrounding landscape features evergreen forests, steep mountain ridges, and numerous waterfalls. The area provides important habitat for grizzly bears, elk, mule deer, mountain lions, bighorn sheep, wolves, and mountain goats. Hikers have access to trails leading deeper into the Gallatin Range and toward Yellowstone National Park.
Directions
From Bozeman, travel south on 19th Avenue for approximately 7 miles to Hyalite Canyon Road. Continue south on Hyalite Canyon Road for approximately 10 miles into Hyalite Canyon. Look for carsonite signs marked with a tent symbol indicating designated dispersed camping sites.
