Tobacco River Campground

On the tranquil banks of the Tobacco River, this small, rustic campground offers a serene escape with its limited six campsites, fire rings, tables, and a natural forested ambiance that immerses visitors in the peaceful beauty of Montana’s Kootenai National Forest. Accessible by gravel roads, the campground accommodates tents and smaller RVs (up to 20 feet), making it ideal for those seeking a more secluded camping experience.

Essential amenities include a vault toilet and a nearby undeveloped boat ramp, supporting activities like kayaking or canoeing on the river. The area is a prime choice for fishing enthusiasts, with the Tobacco River and nearby Lake Koocanusa featuring species such as rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. Additionally, the stunning limestone Hoodoos, accessible via a short walk or boat, provide an exceptional sightseeing opportunity.

Located just five miles west of Eureka and close to Rexford, this site is perfect for day trips or quiet weekend getaways. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore the vast shoreline of Lake Koocanusa, hike trails, or enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding forest and waterways.
