Lost Johnny Campground

Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains along the shores of the Hungry Horse Reservoir, Lost Johnny Campground offers a rugged and scenic escape west of the Continental Divide. This intimate USFS-managed site provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to immerse themselves in Montana’s pristine wilderness. With an elevation of 3,572 feet, the campground is surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas and provides direct access to the water for a true backcountry feel.

This federal site features five reservable spots, making it ideal for campers who prefer a quiet, smaller-scale environment. While the campground is primitive and offers no hookups, it is well-equipped with essential amenities including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. The site is perfectly suited for tent, car, and RV campers who are self-sufficient and looking to enjoy a rustic outdoor experience.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, with excellent opportunities for swimming and fishing right at their doorstep. Anglers can test their skills for cutthroat trout, while the nearby boat ramp makes it easy to get out on the reservoir for a day on the water. Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, this year-round destination is a fantastic spot for those seeking solitude in the heart of the Rockies.
