Moose Creek Campground is a 9 mile drive down Forest Service Roads 119 and 204, away from the popular US Highway 89 corridor. The 6 campsites are nestled against Moose Creek, which offers the opportunity to fish. Moose Creek Campground can only accommodate a maximum trailer length of 20 feet and is not suitable for campers with large RVs. The campground is usually open from May through the middle of fall. A motorcycle trail runs west along Allan Creek to Allan Park about one mile north of the campground. 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. Even if water is unavailable, campground fees are still required.
