Aspen Campground is located directly off Highway 89 in the Little Belt Mountains. The 6 campsites are in a canyon carved out by Belt Creek and are usually open Memorial Day weekend through the middle of fall. The largest slot can accommodate a maximum trailer length of 22 feet. Nearby Belt Creek provides excellent fishing opportunities for trout. Please follow Cutthroat Trout mandatory catch and release rules. The Belt Creek Ranger Station is just to the north of the campground, and trails to the east of the ranger station connect to an extensive trail system. 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 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.
