Medicine Creek Campground

Medicine Creek Campground offers a truly unique, off-the-grid escape nestled within the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Managed by the USFS, this federal site provides a primitive wilderness experience for those looking to disconnect from the noise of everyday life. Because the campground is accessible only via boat or hiking trails, it remains a peaceful sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude in the heart of Montana.

Located approximately three miles north of Barry’s Landing, the terrain is defined by its pristine lakeside setting. The proximity of your boat mooring to the campsites fluctuates depending on current lake levels, adding an element of adventure to every visit. As a primitive, non-hookup campground, visitors should arrive fully prepared to practice Leave No Trace principles while enjoying the natural surroundings.

This site is best suited for tent campers and adventurous spirits who enjoy boat-in or hike-in excursions. While the facility is ADA accessible, the remote nature of the location means it is ideal for those comfortable with moderate-level outdoor challenges. Whether you are arriving by water or foot, Medicine Creek provides an authentic backcountry experience that stays open year-round.
