Double Falls Campground sits in the Rocky Mountain Ranger District of Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in western Montana, managed by the Forest Service. The place is a Forest Service campsite with a simple set of rules: bears may frequent the area, so food must be stored in approved containers and removed from the site after eating. Mandatory food storage is required. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Gibson Dam weather station, which sits about 665 feet lower than the campground, run to highs near 79°F and lows around 45°F in July. Winters are cold, with January highs in the mid-30s. Several short hikes start close by, including Crown Mountain at under a mile and North Fork Ford Creek at just under a mile. Wood Lake Campground is about 3.6 miles away, and paddlers can find Straight Creek roughly 6 miles off.
