Rocky Gorge Campground

Rocky Gorge Campground sits about 26 miles southwest of Eureka, Montana, on the Rexford Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the campground is set up for a range of stays, with 60 campsites including one host site. Tables and fire rings are standard, and some sites have tent pads. The largest can fit an RV up to 32 feet long. The campground has potable water, vault toilets, a dock and a fully developed boat launch, so it works well for both campers and boaters. It is not a reservable site, so plan on arriving and finding a spot on the ground. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Libby Dam weather station show July and August highs around 85°F with lows near 50°F and the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits about 400 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. The Rocky Gorge Nature Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and High Divide and Parsnip Overlook are both within a couple of miles. For more camping, Peck Gulch Campground is about 5 miles off.
