Copper Creek Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Lincoln Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the nearest town is Lincoln, about 8.6 miles away. Vault toilets are the only listed amenity. A fee is charged for stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 81°F with lows in the low 40s, while winter highs stay near freezing. That station sits about 736 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the site run cooler. Several trails and paddling spots lie within a few miles. Mainline Trail is about 1.9 miles away, Landers Fork is about 2.2 miles away, and Lone Mountain Trail is about 2.4 miles away. Aspen Grove Campground is about 8 miles away.
