I am one mile from Hwy 93 so you can hear traffic noise sometimes. Planes do fly over once in awhile as well. This is a dry camp and rustic camping, sites are fairly far apart.
This property is so beautiful and peaceful out here at night. Seasonal Spring fed pond, Ponderosa pine trees, fallen white birch, rustic and gorgeous. Some of my camp spots are on rough terrain. I always suggest you get out and walk around to see what you can manage with your vehicle.
The idea of my place is more wilderness camping, there is wildlife that comes around.
RV camp spots on the east and west end of the pond. Camp spot out by the wooden round pen on the west side.
Completely private, borders 2000 acres of a bird sanctuary. Two blocks from Bitterroot river canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swim, trails, hiking, scenery, wildlife.
My pond is spring fed, which means that is goes up and down with the seasons and run off from the snow in the mountains and collects cotton from the trees when they shed. So as the summer goes on the pond levels go way down, please be aware of that.

Space is level and quiet. Plenty of space to set up solar panels and do dog training. Space is far enough away from structures that quiet generators can't be heard at all by neighbors. Also managed neighborhood dog walks without issue. Drivers were slow and courteous to pedestrians.
Was quickly greeted by two curious cats and enjoyed watching a couple young deer play in the grass just 20 feet from my trailer.
Would stay again.

The dome glamping experience was wonderful! The interior of the bison decor was very cute and the perfect set up for my two gal friends and I. Beautiful view of the plains and river, both from inside the dome and the wooden porch it sits on. The propane heater was much appreciated, and took the chill off inside the dome. Trina was a terrific host, greeting us when we first arrived and showed us to our dome. She made sure we had what we needed, and has done a great job setting up her property. Fantastic getaway for us gals!!

I booked at the last moment, late in the evening and Trina (and her awesome son, Steele) was there to greet us right as we arrived. They showed us to the dome and brought us a several gallon jug of water to use.
The buck dome was perfect with comfortable beds. There was a BBQ available to cook our dinner on so we didn't have to dig out our camp stoves. Clean shared portapotty and hot shower a short walk away. Trina thought of everything needed for a nice glamping stay on a gorgeous property.
The views do not disappoint and Trina was so fun to chat with and filled with fantastic recommendations for places well outside of montana that are on our itenerary. Next time we come to Montana we will be sure to book a stay.

Overview
About
For those seeking an adventure in the heart of nature, look no further than a Fish Creek State Park camping expedition. Encapsulating more than 5,600 acres, this vast landscape holds the title of the largest state park in western Montana. It's more than just a site, it's an open invitation to immerse in the charm of untouched wilderness and the echo of its riveting history.
As the dawn breaks over Williams Peak, the apex provides a commanding view of the park, the intricate Bitterroot mountain range, and the far-reaching Great Burn wilderness, a testament to the largest fire in regional history. From this vantage point, one can truly comprehend the past industry that shaped the forest's landscape and its resurgence. This unique blend of raw natural beauty and historical significance only enriches the Fish Creek camping experience.
Dive into the heart of the park, where you find the glistening emerald pools of Fish Creek, teeming with native trout species. Whether it's the bull trout or westslope cutthroat trout or the wild population of rainbows and browns, every fishing enthusiast finds a rewarding challenge.
But camping near Fish Creek State Park offers more than just a fishing expedition. It's a multi-faceted camping destination, promising a medley of recreational activities that thrill every nature enthusiast. Hiking trails that meander through the park, bountiful spots for berry picking, thrilling horseback rides, adrenaline-pumping OHV and snowmobiling on open roads, every corner offers a new way to enjoy your camping near Fish Creek.
Toward the end of the park lies an exciting surprise – the confluence of Fish Creek and the Clark Fork River, tucked away in the Alberton Gorge. Renowned for its superior whitewater rafting, it ensures that the excitement never ceases.
So, campers, it's time to answer the call of Fish Creek State Park – a place where the tranquil solitude of your campsite meets the thrill of outdoor adventures, a place where every camper finds their haven. It's more than a camping destination; it's your next unforgettable journey into the heart of the wilderness.
When to go
The best time to visit Fish Creek State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when all park facilities are fully operational. Winter brings a serene beauty, but be prepared for cold weather and limited access.
Know before you go
- Check the latest park alerts and closures before your visit to ensure a smooth experience.
- Remember to practice Leave No Trace principles to preserve the park's natural beauty.
- Wildlife is abundant, so keep a safe distance and store food securely.
- Pets are allowed in the park, but they must be on a leash at all times.
