Lost Trail Hot Springs

Can you imagine a camping experience where the allure of natural hot springs meets Montana's rugged wilderness? Lost Trail Hot Springs Campground in Sula, Montana, combines this unique draw with the serene appeal of Bitterroot National Forest, offering a retreat for those seeking relaxation, adventure, or both.

This rustic campground features access to a naturally fed, chemical-free hot springs pool (heated year-round between 95–105°F) and a dry sauna, along with scenic views of the surrounding forest. The camping area is modest, including a wooded RV park and tent sites equipped with basic facilities—a summer porta-potty and a rustic outhouse. Bathhouse amenities such as showers and changing rooms are available a short walk away, near the hot springs. The campground is ideal for campers who prioritize natural beauty and quiet over luxurious amenities.

Located just off Highway 93, about six miles north of the Idaho border, Lost Trail Hot Springs is well-positioned for exploring nearby attractions. Outdoor enthusiasts will find the Chief Joseph cross-country ski trails and Lost Trail Powder Mountain within a 10-minute drive, adding winter sports and hiking options to the roster of activities. Nearby fishing spots and hiking trails further enhance its appeal as a four-season destination. For hikers and history buffs, the campground’s proximity to cultural touchpoints like the Continental Divide and Big Hole National Battlefield makes it a versatile hub for day trips, weekend getaways, and longer stays.
