About Lodgepole Campground (on Georgetown Lake, Montana)

Federal campground in Idaho.

Nestled along the pristine waters of Georgetown Lake in the heart of Montana's wilderness, Lodgepole Campground offers RV travelers an authentic forest camping experience that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This National Forest campground sits at elevation surrounded by towering evergreens and the natural beauty that makes this region so special for outdoor enthusiasts.

Georgetown Lake itself is the star attraction here, a stunning alpine reservoir that invites visitors to explore its clear waters and scenic shoreline. The lake is perfect for those who enjoy fishing, with excellent opportunities to catch various fish species throughout the season. Whether you're an experienced angler or someone who simply enjoys casting a line while soaking in mountain views, the fishing here doesn't disappoint. Beyond fishing, the calm waters are ideal for kayaking, canoeing, or simply floating peacefully and taking in the surrounding landscape.

The location puts you in an excellent position to explore the greater Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness area, one of Montana's true gems. Hiking trails range from leisurely walks around the lake to more ambitious backcountry adventures into pristine alpine terrain. The diverse landscapes offer everything from wildflower meadows in summer to stunning mountain vistas that shift with the seasons. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, and patient observers may spot deer, elk, and various bird species throughout the year.

The campground itself provides a good base for both relaxation and adventure. The forest setting offers natural shade and the peaceful ambiance that makes camping restorative. It's an ideal destination for families wanting to introduce children to camping, couples seeking a romantic mountain retreat, and serious outdoor adventurers looking to explore one of Idaho's most beautiful regions. Summer months bring comfortable temperatures perfect for outdoor recreation, while the changing seasons offer their own distinct beauty and appeal.

This is where mountain camping dreams come true, where you can disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature in one of the Pacific Northwest's most treasured landscapes.

The A loop is still open for camping. The sites are nice and level and you could probably squeeze a tent into the back if you were tent camping. You have to pack your garbage out, but the lake is awesome and makes it worth it. Until the Campground opens in spring, camping fees are waived.

Fairly standard setup - fire ring, table, good size parking area. Two pit toilets and two garbage bins. No water or dump stations. A bit of noise from the highway, but it dies off at night. Close to Philipsburg and Georgetown lake. Roomy campsites and some good shade.

Gorgeous views. Bald eagles flew over our heads while we were there. The sun was shining but the breeze was perfect to keep us all comfortable on this beginning of June day. Very clean restroom. Two picnic tables. Boat ramp. Didn't catch any fish while bank fishing but the people on boats were. I could come here every day. Breathtakingly beautiful place.

This is a large campground that was clean. It is across the highway from Georgetown Lake. The host is nice and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and the camp sites were well taken care of. There were quite a few first come first serve sites.

Great campground, well maintained sites, and clean restroom. Only downside is that while you are close to the lake there is a large road in between which has decent noise and limits the water access.
