Spillway Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Pintler Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in southwest Montana. It sits among a cluster of recreation sites, with East Fork Campground just 0.4 miles away and Piney Campground about 6 miles off. Vault toilets are the only listed amenity. A fee is charged for stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July and August highs reach about 81°F with lows in the low 40s, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Phillipsburg. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. The Elk Creek Trail starts about a mile away, and the Hundred Acre Meadows Trail is about 2.5 miles off. East Fork Rock Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 1.6 miles away. Georgetown Lake, a fishing destination, lies about 6.7 miles from the campground.
