Campground Overview

About Caribou Campground

Isolated yet accessible, Caribou Campground in Montana's Kootenai National Forest offers a tranquil retreat defined by its rustic charm, serene creekside setting, and proximity to stunning natural landmarks like Lake Koocanusa and the Ross Creek Cedars Scenic Area. Limited to just three campsites, the campground emphasizes privacy and solitude, with basic amenities that include picnic tables, fire rings, and a clean vault toilet—all set against the backdrop of towering trees and open glades.

Ideal for tent camping or small RVs, the campground is a short drive north of Troy, Montana, along Forest Road 92. Its creekside location provides easy fishing access, and the surrounding forested terrain beckons visitors to explore nearby hiking trails and scenic drives. Lake Koocanusa, just a 20-minute drive away, offers opportunities for boating and swimming, while the Ross Creek Cedar Grove—renowned for its ancient, towering trees—is perfect for a nature-filled excursion within a 30-minute radius.

Caribou Campground is particularly suited for weekend getaways and peaceful outdoor escapes, appealing to campers who value simplicity, a strong connection to nature, and convenient access to Montana's rugged wilderness.
