Potosi Campground sits on the east side of the Tobacco Root Mountains in the Madison Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in southwest Montana. South Willow Creek runs through the middle of the site, which is managed by the Forest Service. The campground has 15 designated campsites and a picnic day-use area. Vault toilets and drinking water are on site, but there are no garbage services, so visitors must pack in and pack out. Trailer length is recommended to stay under 22 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Virginia City weather station show July highs around 83°F with lows near 50°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through February. Lower Chero Mountain is about 0.7 miles away, and the Camp Creek hike is about a mile off. Mountain bikers can ride Upper Camp Creek Road and Willow Meadow Road, both about 1.2 miles away.
