Fales Flat Group Campground

What sets Fales Flat Group Campground apart is its seamless blend of history, rugged wilderness, and equestrian-friendly facilities, offering a unique experience for campers seeking connection to Montana's natural and cultural heritage. Situated in a sprawling meadow at the base of Nez Perce Pass along the Nez Perce Fork of the Bitterroot River, this campground provides rare access to both scenic trails and historic Nez Perce sites.

Fales Flat caters to group camping with a single site accommodating 15 to 100 people, equipped with gravel parking, large picnic tables, and a central campfire circle. While it lacks modern amenities like drinking water or hookups, the campground features vault toilets and designated equestrian areas, including a horse staging zone and hitching racks. The surrounding trails, such as the Watchtower Trail and Sheephead Creek Trail, offer direct access to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, making it a prime choice for hikers and horseback riders alike.

Located about 23 miles from Conner, Montana, the campground is within a short drive of basic services and surrounded by opportunities for activities like fly fishing, wading, and wildlife viewing along the Bitterroot River. This remote and rustic site is especially recommended for those looking for an immersive backcountry experience, whether for a group retreat, equestrian adventure, or exploration of the area's historic and natural treasures.
