About
Trout Creek Campground is a peaceful forested retreat located in the Lolo National Forest, just 7 miles southeast of Superior, Montana and easily accessible from Interstate 90. The campground sits at 3,000 feet elevation in a valley bottom along Trout Creek, providing a cool and shaded environment ideal for relaxation. The graveled campground features 12 spacious, well-screened back-in sites, several of which are positioned directly along the creek for added ambiance. Designed for rustic forest camping, the campground accommodates tents, pickup campers, and small travel trailers up to 35 feet depending on the site. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets and trash services are provided during the operating season, though no potable water is available on-site. Camp hosts are present from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a Scan & Pay option for those with Recreation.gov accounts. The location offers proximity to several recreational opportunities, including Heart Lake, HooDoo Lake, and trail systems near the state line. Nearby attractions include Alberton Gorge 21 miles east, Missoula 60 miles east, and the Route of the Hiawatha Trail 50 miles west. The quiet, woodsy setting and easy access from the interstate make this an ideal basecamp for exploring western Montana's outdoor recreation.
