Additional information about this location.

1: The day use area is primarily intended for boating activities. There is a dedicated swimming area, but the access route to reach is it very difficult. There are a few picnic tables in the day use area, but they also have poor accessibility. Campsites have picnic tables with wheelchair seating places, but may not be along accessible routes. BBQ pits in the campground have cooking surfaces less than 15 inches above the ground. Bathrooms are accessible, but access routes to them are variable.

2: The turnoff from Highway 83 to access this campground is between mileposts 26 and 27. More information about this site is available at VisitMT.com and PublicLands.org.
