About
Summit Campground sits high in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains within the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. The 17-site campground provides a gateway to serious backcountry travel, with a 3-mile spur trail connecting directly to the Continental Divide Scenic Trail and into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and potable water from a hand pump. Bears frequent the area, and mandatory food storage in approved bear-resistant containers is required. All food must be removed from the eating area after meals. Adjacent to the campground, Memorial Square features a miniature Washington Monument commemorating Theodore Roosevelt and the Blackfeet tribe. The campground experiences heavy use during its operating season and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations available.
