Peninsula Dispersed Campground and Recreation Area

Peninsula Dispersed Campground offers a rugged, back-to-basics escape nestled along the banks of the Clark Fork River in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This USFS-managed site features 12 dispersed camping areas, providing a quiet and authentic outdoor experience for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. Situated at an elevation of 2,580 feet, the area is surrounded by the scenic beauty of Montana’s diverse terrain, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude near the water.

Because this is a primitive, dispersed recreation area, visitors should be prepared for a self-sufficient stay. There are no hookups, water sources, or trash receptacles available on-site, strictly enforcing a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy to preserve the natural beauty of the river corridor. Each site is equipped with a fire ring, providing a simple spot to enjoy an evening under the stars.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and those comfortable with dispersed camping conditions who want direct access to fishing, swimming, and rafting. It is a perfect choice for adventurers who value natural beauty and quiet riverfront views over modern amenities.
