Copper Creek Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Pintler Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in western Montana, about 1 mile from Moose Lake Cabin. It is a base for exploring the surrounding forest and its trails and waterways, and the nearest town is likely a short drive away in the district. The most comfortable months for a visit are July and August, when typical highs reach about 81°F and lows sit near 40°F, with only around eight wet days a month. Those are typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sula, which sits several hundred feet lower than the campground, so expect it to run a little cooler here. Vault toilets are the campground's only listed amenity, and a fee is charged for stays. The closest trails are the Green Canyon Trail at about 2.4 miles and the 8024 Carpp Creek Cutoff at about 2.6 miles, and Middle Fork Rock Creek offers canoeing about 2.9 miles away. Spillway Campground lies about 8.8 miles off.
