Greenough Lake Campground

How does Greenough Lake Campground, nestled along the Main Fork of Rock Creek and minutes from the iconic Beartooth Highway, redefine your idea of a classic camping getaway? With its idyllic forested setting and convenient access to the lake, this campground offers an exceptional blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation.

Positioned 12 miles south of Red Lodge, Montana, the campground is shaded by stands of aspen and pine and lies less than a quarter-mile from Greenough Lake, a prime spot for canoeing, kayaking, and rainbow trout fishing. The area’s appeal extends to hiking and mountain biking, thanks to nearby trailheads like Hellroaring and Lake Fork, which serve as gateways to the stunning Beartooth Wilderness. Greenough Lake Campground itself offers single-family campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and accessible vault toilets, along with potable water sourced from a hand pump. Wildlife sightings, from elk to grizzly bears, are a common highlight amid the pristine forest surroundings.

The campground’s location is ideal for both relaxation and exploration. Red Lodge, a charming mountain town, is just a 20-minute drive away and boasts galleries, shops, and seasonal events. Meanwhile, the breathtaking Beartooth Highway offers scenic drives and access to some of the region’s most picturesque alpine landscapes, making this campground a perfect base for a weekend retreat or an extended outdoor adventure.
