Chisholm Campground

How does the idea of camping amidst cool, forested serenity alongside a sparkling mountain reservoir sound? Chisholm Campground, located 18 miles south of Bozeman in the scenic Gallatin National Forest, offers a tranquil retreat framed by towering pine and fir trees at an elevation of 6,700 feet. Its close proximity to Hyalite Reservoir and Hyalite Creek makes it a haven for anglers, paddlers, and nature enthusiasts.

Featuring just 10 campsites, this campground emphasizes a more intimate, quiet experience with basic yet thoughtful amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water. Practical and accessible, the campground is well-suited for both tent campers and smaller RVs. However, bear safety precautions are essential due to the area's abundant wildlife.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, Hyalite Canyon provides endless activities within a short drive. The reservoir invites fishing for Yellowstone cutthroat and Arctic grayling, while nearby trails cater to hikers of all skill levels, including the challenging and picturesque Hyalite Peak Trail. This makes Chisholm Campground an ideal base for relaxation, exploration, and embracing Montana's rugged beauty.
