Many Pines Campground is in a stand of Lodgepole Pine directly off US Highway 89 in the Little Belt Mountains. The 23 campsites are located along Belt Creek, which offers opportunity for fishing for trout. Please follow Cutthroat Trout mandatory catch and release rules. The campground is usually open late May through October. The largest slot for a trailer is 51 feet in length. Many Pines Campground is the most convenient for campers with large RVs along the US Highway 89 corridor. Approximately one mile to the north is the Memorial Falls trailhead, a popular day hike. All campgrounds on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest are first-come, first-served. Reservations are not available. Camping is limited to 16 consecutive days in one location. A campground fee is required. Please pay at the self-serve campground fee station. Campsites cannot be reserved by simply paying for the site; camper must be present. A food storage order is in effect from March 1st to December 1st to prevent human-bear conflicts on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. Store all unattended food and attractants properly. Please see Food Storage Order for specifics. Open and close dates can vary depending on snowfall conditions. Please call the local district office or check our website. Leashed dogs are welcome. Horses are not allowed in campgrounds. Motorized OHVs must stay on the campground road. The campgrounds include access to drinking water during the warmer months, and all have at least one handicap accessible vault toilet. Each campsite has a fire ring and/or grill, and a picnic table.
