Primitive camping with no water or trash service, pack in / pack out. There is a portable toilet.
Located in the Alberton Gorge on the Clark Fork River, this is a premier location for the whitewater enthusiast. Take advantage of the class II, III rapids in your kayak or raft, or even surf. Alternatively, enjoy the relaxing Sandy Beach just a few minutes walk from the campground to swim and gaze at the beautiful argilite cliffs. The campground is near both the Interstate and a railroad so there is some ambient noise.
This campsite offers a classic outdoor experience perfect for those who enjoy river surfing or kayaking, with easy access to a sandy beach and stunning scenery. While the site is conveniently close to the highway, some guests have found the road and train noise a bit disruptive at night. The campsite is well-maintained with a clean porta potty, and visitors appreciate the shade and unique location under an old train bridge. Be aware of the site's small size, which may be cozy for larger groups or setups, but it remains a favorite for its beauty and proximity to the river.
Super cool spot! Confusing to find tho. Go check out sandy beach if you stay! Highway noise at night was a little bothersome in my opinion. Would recommend overall tho 😊
Great spot fairly close to Missoula. Beautiful scenery with a short hike down to the river. Very close to the highway but traffic noise wasn't a major issue.
This place is awesome! There is an amazing beach just a short walk down- really a hidden gem. I went for a bike ride into the Fish Creek State Park area and didn’t see a car or a person for 4 hours. The site itself has some shade, is big, nice picnic table. I can’t wait to travel this area again to stay here. Thank you Kirsten and Mateu.
