Cascade Campground, also known as Cascade Campground/Trhd, is a Forest Service site in the canyon bottom along the Clark Fork River in the Plains/Thompson Falls Ranger District of Lolo National Forest in western Montana. It sits about 1.7 miles from the town of Quinns, adjacent to the highway and across the road from the river. The site is forested with Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine and western larch, which provide abundant shade. The Iron Mountain Trail #242, a historic wagon road, has its terminus in the campground. Fishing is available at the river. Vault toilets are the only amenity on site, and a fee is charged for stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Superior weather station show July and August highs around 88°F with lows near 50°F, while September cools to highs in the upper 70s. The Iron Mountain hike starts just 0.3 miles away, and Fourteen Mile Creek, Donlan Saddle and Reservation Divide are all within about 6.5 miles.
