Dirt road but easy to access without four wheel drive in the summer. Beautiful scenery and some good trout fishing for beginners.

This is our special place. We love hiking to mystic lake! The other two lakes are perfect for fishing or water activities. No camp host, but vaulted toilets are available.

you stop that

Beautiful place with amazing wildlife! It's worth the trip, for sure.

The campground is small but sites offer good privacy. The campsites are clean and well maintained. Few campsites have river access. It’s a popular campground and fills up quickly. I saw some reviews mentioning that the last 14 miles of the road was very rough. I went in my Subaru Outback. The first 8 miles are pretty doable for any regular SUV. Where it gets really rough with potholes, washboard and rocks is the last 6 -7 miles of the road. It will be quite rough for an RV or a car but any vehicle will need to be careful in this section. There were roadwork in progress when I went and hopefully, the road might be better in the future.

Beautiful scenery, crystal clear water, abundant trout; what more could you ask for? Just a 2 hour drive from Billings, this is a must visit location. Take note that the drive up is EXTREMELY bumpy and slow going so don’t be in a hurry.
