About
US Forest Service campground. Logging Creek Campground is in the northeastern region of the Little Belt Mountains. All 25 campsites are accessible. This quiet developed campground is approximately 15 miles from the popular US Highway 89 corridor. Logging Creek flows below scenic limestone cliffs and is prime trout fishing. Please follow Cutthroat Trout mandatory catch and release rules. The largest slot can accommodate a maximum trailer length of 54 feet, and the campground is suitable for campers with large RVs. Logging Creek is usually open from May through the middle of fall. The trailhead for Deep Creek National Recreation Trail is about 5 miles south of the campground and offers the opportunity to explore canyons and ridges via motorcycle. Please see Little Belt Mountains Motor Vehicle Use Map for location and closure dates. All campgrounds on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest are first-come, first-served. Reservations are not available. Camping is limited to 16 consecutive days in one location. A campground fee is required. Please pay at the self-serve campground fee station. Campsites cannot be reserved by simply paying for the site; camper must be present. A food storage order is in effect from March 1st to December 1st to prevent human-bear conflicts on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. Store all unattended food and attractants properly. Please see Food Storage Order for specifics. Open and close dates can vary depending on snowfall conditions. Please call the local district office or check our website. Leashed dogs are welcome. Horses are not allowed in campgrounds. Motorized OHVs must stay on the campground road. The campgrounds include access to drinking water during the warmer months, and all have at least one handicap accessible vault toilet. Each campsite has a fire ring and/or grill, and a picnic table. Even if water is unavailable, campground fees are still required. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
