About
Tuchuck Campground is a remote, primitive campground located high in the Whitefish Range of Flathead National Forest at 4,500 feet elevation. This free campground features 7 designated campsites tucked away in a rugged mountain setting, offering solitude and access to wilderness recreation. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets available but no potable water, so visitors must bring their own. The campground is particularly popular with equestrians, providing specialized facilities including feed bunks, hitch rails, a loading ramp, and a dedicated vault toilet for stock users west of the access road. Stock is prohibited in the main campground area east of the access road. Several trailheads are within hiking and horseback riding distance, including access to the Tuchuck Creek Trail and routes leading toward Tuchuck Mountain. Access requires navigating remote forest roads: from Whitefish, travel 21 miles north on US 93, then 11 miles east on Graves Creek Road, followed by 12 miles east on Forest Road 114. The campground operates on a 16-day stay limit and is subject to the NCDE Food and Wildlife Attractant Storage Order. Access opening dates vary seasonally depending on snow conditions and road accessibility.
Directions
From Whitefish, 21 miles north on US 93, east 11 miles on Graves Creek Road, then 12 miles east on Forest Road 114. Alternatively, approximately 50 miles north of Columbia Falls on the North Fork Road, west on Road 114 to the campground.
