East Rosebud Campground

What sets East Rosebud Campground apart is its dramatic location within the scenic valley of the Beartooth Mountains, offering unparalleled access to rustic camping, stunning alpine vistas, and a wealth of outdoor adventures. Its proximity to East Rosebud Lake and multiple trailheads, combined with a peaceful atmosphere, makes it a top choice for hikers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts seeking an immersive wilderness experience.

This intimate campground features 14 well-spaced sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, surrounded by towering trees for shade and privacy. While amenities are basic, including vault toilets and a hand-pumped water spigot, the lack of modern conveniences such as showers or electrical hookups enhances the feeling of true outdoor living. The nearby East Rosebud Trail and other trails like Spread Creek and Phantom Creek provide direct access to epic hikes through the rugged Beartooth landscape.

Located approximately 13 miles south of Roscoe, Montana, along a rugged dirt road, East Rosebud Campground is a gateway to the Custer Gallatin National Forest. While the shores of East Rosebud Lake are largely private, fishing opportunities for rainbow trout and the iconic mountain views remain accessible. For a change of pace, the Grizzly Bar and Grill in Roscoe offers a noteworthy spot to enjoy a meal before returning to the serenity of this secluded retreat.
