Hidden Lake Campground

Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Hidden Lake Campground offers a secluded escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of Montana. This small, 5-site federal campground is situated along the shores of a scenic 33-acre kettle lake, providing a serene environment for nature lovers. The area is particularly well-regarded for its fishing opportunities, as the lake is regularly stocked with westslope cutthroat trout, making it a peaceful destination for anglers.

The terrain reflects the rugged character of the Clearwater Valley, providing a quiet atmosphere away from the bustle of larger, more developed parks. Because this is a primitive USFS site, visitors should arrive prepared for a rustic experience, as there are no formal amenities or hookups available on-site. The campground is open year-round, offering a unique perspective of the Montana wilderness across the changing seasons.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and those seeking a low-impact, backcountry-style experience. It is an ideal spot for individuals or small groups who enjoy non-motorized boating and quiet evenings under the stars. Given the limited capacity and lack of modern facilities, it is a perfect choice for those who value solitude and self-sufficiency in the great outdoors.
