Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

This campground sits inside Great Bear Wilderness, which overlaps Flathead National Forest.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, west of the continental divide and just south of the Canadian border, lies the 2.4 million acre Flathead National Forest. Home to lynx, grizzly bear, and bull trout and with numerous lakes streams and rivers to enjoy, the forest is a premiere destination for visitors. The campground lies between East Glacier and West Glacier.

Recreation

The campground is adjacent to US Highway 2 in a heavily wooded conifer forest. Traveling to the campground on Highway 2 offers stunning scenery and opportunities for wildlife viewing. Devil Creek Trail #167 provides access to Spotted Bear Wilderness.
