Steel Creek Campground and Picnic Area

In
9 sites · RV, Tent

Steel Creek Campground sits in a shaded area surrounded by lodgepole pine and douglas fir.

Steel Creek runs through the campground and offers great fishing opportunities. There are awesome hiking trails nearby that lead into the West Pioneer Mountains, so you can explore Montana’s rugged peaks and valleys, alpine lakes and creeks. The dirt road leading to the campground is rough and rutted in places, so drive carefully!

Williams Lake is located 6 miles up the road and offers a variety of recreation activities including fishing, swimming, paddle-boarding, canoeing, or sight seeing. If you are looking for an area that is out of town, THIS IS IT!! We also have overnight stalls available for horses. Please make sure RV tanks are empty in order to hook up to septic. No RV dump station on site. With the river location, we get very windy conditions along the river corridor. Awnings can easily become damaged during these conditions. Please take notice and consider putting awnings away so that they don't get damaged. Along the same lines, please don't have campfires if the winds are high. Make sure your dogs are on a leash. We have mules on the property that DO NOT like dogs. This is for the safety of your dog. No fireworks on the premises. NO campfires at this time, the Salmon-Challis National Forest is currently in High Fire Danger. We do have a couple small trash cans that get dumped on Thursdays...that being said....we are NOT a dump. If trash cans are full or you have large items, please haul your trash to Lemhi County Landfill. They are open Monday-Friday: 7am-5:15pm and have dumpsters open on the weekend.
