About
Trout Creek Campground offers rustic forest camping in the cool, shaded valley bottom of Lolo National Forest. Located just 7 miles east of Superior, Montana via Diamond Road and Trout Creek Road, the campground provides easy access from Interstate 90 while maintaining a quiet, woodsy atmosphere. The 12 graveled sites are spacious with natural screening between them, and several sites sit creekside along Trout Creek. Each site features a picnic table and fire ring, with three vault toilets serving the campground. Trash service is provided during the operating season. There is no potable water on site, so campers must bring their own water supply. The back-in only sites can accommodate pickup campers, tents, and smaller travel trailers, with RV lengths limited to 27-35 feet depending on the specific site. Large RVs and trailers are not recommended. Nearby recreation includes fishing in Trout Creek, access to Heart Lake and HooDoo Lake, and trail systems along the state line. The Route of the Hiawatha Trail is 50 miles west, and Alberton Gorge is 21 miles east. Superior offers gas and groceries within 7 miles.
Directions
From Interstate 90 near Superior, take exit 47 and head to the south side of the interstate. Turn left (east) at the T-intersection onto Diamond Road (paved). Travel about 5 miles until the pavement ends, then continue on Trout Creek Road #250 (improved gravel) for 2 miles. The campground is on the left.
