Lowland Campground sits about 20 miles north of Butte, Montana, on the Butte Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. It is managed by the Forest Service and lies west of Interstate 15, near the Sheepshead Recreation Area and close to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The campground and picnic area make a base for exploring the surrounding trails and fishing at Maney Lake. The site has 11 back-in trailer sites that accommodate trailers up to 22 feet, and most of them also have tent pads. Day use picnic areas are available, and the toilets are ADA accessible. Water and garbage containers are on site, and wood is generally found within the campground area. A fee is charged for recreation here. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Butte show July highs around 81°F with lows near 46°F, while winter highs stay around freezing. Nearby, Freedom Point Picnic Area is about 2 miles away, and Sheepshead Picnic Area and the Sheepshead Overlook hike are each about 2.4 miles off. Whitehouse Campground is roughly 8.5 miles away.
